This builds an up-to-date Vagrant Alpine Linux Base Box.

Currently this targets [Alpine Linux](https://alpinelinux.org/) 3.20.

# Usage

Install [Packer (1.11+)](https://www.packer.io/) and [Vagrant (2.4.1+)](https://www.vagrantup.com/).

If you are on a Debian/Ubuntu host, you should also install and configure the NFS server. E.g.:

```bash

# install the nfs server.

sudo apt-get install -y nfs-kernel-server

# enable password-less configuration of the nfs server exports.

sudo bash -c 'cat >/etc/sudoers.d/vagrant-synced-folders' <<'EOF'

Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_CHOWN = /bin/chown 0\:0 /tmp/*

Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_MV = /bin/mv -f /tmp/* /etc/exports

Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_CHECK = /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status

Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_START = /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start

Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_APPLY = /usr/sbin/exportfs -ar

%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_EXPORTS_CHOWN, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_MV, VAGRANT_NFSD_CHECK, VAGRANT_NFSD_START, VAGRANT_NFSD_APPLY

EOF

```

For more information see the [Vagrant NFS documentation](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/synced-folders/nfs.html).

## qemu-kvm usage

Install qemu-kvm:

```bash

apt-get install -y qemu-kvm

apt-get install -y sysfsutils

apt-get install -y rng-tools

systool -m kvm_intel -v

```

Build the box, and follow the printed instructions:

```bash

make build-libvirt

```

Try the example guest:

```bash

cd example

apt-get install -y virt-manager libvirt-dev

vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt

vagrant up --provider=libvirt

vagrant ssh

exit

vagrant destroy -f

```
