git clone https://salsa.debian.org/cloud-team/vagrant-boxes

About

This script will:

1. download the Debian 7 "Wheezy" server 64bit iso
2. ... do some magic to turn it into a vagrant box file
3. output debian-wheezy-64.box

The latest GPG signed box produced by this script is available at http://subsole.org/vanilladebianbox

Requirements

• Oracle VM VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• mkisofs
• 7zip

On a Debian / Ubuntu system your can install those with apt-get install p7zip genisoimage virtualbox and get vagrant from vagrantup.com as debian package.

Usage on OSX

./build.sh

This should do everything you need. If you don't have mkisofs or p7zip, install homebrew, then:

brew install cdrtools
brew install p7zip

To add debian-wheezy-64.box with name debian-7 into vagrant:

vagrant box add "debian-7" debian-wheezy-64.box

Usage on Linux

./build.sh

This should do everything you need. If you don't have mkisofs or p7zip:

sudo apt-get install genisoimage
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

To add debian-wheezy-64.box with name debian-7 into vagrant:

vagrant box add "debian-7" debian-wheezy-64.box

Notes

This script basted on original Carl's repo and with some tweaks to be compatible Debian 7.x It was then forked from dotzero's repo to be more in line with debian best practises.

By Vanilla Debian install, we mean that we only install packages from the debian main archive and the strict minimum needed for vagrant and the provisioning tools (for details look at d-i pkgsel/include in the preseed file).
