USAGE
-----
Building Boxes
``````````````
.. code:: bash
rake -T
to see full list of targets. Then build your desired target, for example
.. code:: bash
rake freebsd-10.3-amd64
The box will be built and placed in project's top level directory, for example
as ``packer_freebsd-10.3-amd64_virtualbox.box``.
The boxes are names as follows:
.. code::
--[-]_
- ```` stands for operating system name, for example ``'freebsd'``,
- ```` is the version of the ```` used, for example ``9.3``,
- ```` is system architecture, e.g. ``amd64``,
- ```` is optional variant name (e.g. ``ports`` for ``freebsd`` with ports preinstalled),
- ```` is a provider name, e.g. ``virtualbox`` or ``vmware_workstation``.
Some parts of the box name may be omitted (leading to multitasks), for example:
.. code::
rake -j5 freebsd-10.3
shall build all defined architectures and variants of ``FreeBSD 10.3``, or
.. code::
rake -j5 freebsd-amd64
shall build all defined versions and variants of FreeBSD for amd64 arch.
Building and uploading to `Vagrant Cloud`_
``````````````````````````````````````````
.. code:: bash
VAGRANTCLOUD_USER=ptomulik VAGRANTCLOUD_TOKEN= rake freebsd-10.3-amd64
You may also use ``VAGRANTCLOUD_DISABLE`` to prevent uploading to `Vagrant Cloud`_.

vagrant up freebsd-10.3-amd64_virtualbox
