Bento

Build status

Bento is a project that encapsulates Packer templates for building Vagrant base boxes. A subset of templates are built and published to the bento org on Vagrant Cloud. These published boxes serve as the default boxes for kitchen-vagrant.

Using Public Boxes

Adding a bento box to Vagrant

$ vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-18.04

Using a bento box in a Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "bento/ubuntu-18.04"
end

Building Boxes

Requirements

*NOTE: support for these providers is considered experimental and corresponding Vagrant Cloud images may or may not exist.

Using packer

To build an Ubuntu 18.04 box for only the VirtualBox provider

$ cd ubuntu
$ packer build -only=virtualbox-iso ubuntu-18.04-amd64.json

To build Debian 10.2 32bit boxes for all possible providers (simultaneously)

$ cd debian
$ packer build debian-10.2-i386.json

To build CentOS 7.7 boxes for all providers except VMware and Parallels

$ cd centos
$ packer build -except=parallels-iso,vmware-iso centos-7.7-x86_64.json

To use an alternate mirror

$ cd fedora
$ packer build -var 'mirror=http://mirror.utexas.edu/fedora/linux' fedora-31-x86_64.json

If the build is successful, ready to import box files will be in the builds directory at the root of the repository.

*NOTE: box_basename can be overridden like other Packer vars with -var 'box_basename=ubuntu-18.04'

KVM/qemu support for Windows

You must download the iso image with the Windows drivers for paravirtualized KVM/qemu hardware. You can do this from the command line: wget -nv -nc https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.iso -O virtio-win.iso.

You can use the following sample command to build a KVM/qemu Windows box:

packer build --only=qemu --var virtio_win_iso=~/virtio-win.iso windows-2019.json

Proprietary Templates

Templates for operating systems only available via license or subscription are also available in the repository, these include but are not limited to: macOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise. As the ISOs are not publicly available the URL values will need to be overridden as appropriate. We rely on the efforts of those with access to licensed versions of the operating systems to keep these up-to-date.

Networking/Firewalls

Most of the providers expect unrestricted access to networking in order to build as expected. We can't enumerate all possible firewall configurations but include some snippets below that might be useful to users.

Windows

$VS = "Standardswitch"
$IF_ALIAS = (Get-NetAdapter -Name "vEthernet ($VS)").ifAlias
New-NetFirewallRule -Displayname "Allow incomming from $VS" -Direction Inbound -InterfaceAlias $IF_ALIAS -Action Allow

macOS / OSX

License & Authors

These basebox templates were converted from veewee definitions originally based on work done by Tim Dysinger to make "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) modular baseboxes. Thanks Tim!

macOS templates were adopted wholesale from Fletcher Nichol's packer templates.
