How to create a rackspace-compatible box #121

Closed metmajer closed 10 years ago

metmajer commented 10 years ago

Hi, and first of all: thanks for providing these plugins - this is awesome!

The documentation says that the _examplebox would contain instructions on how to create a box that is suitable for rackspace, but there is no such documentation. Additonally, the rackspace.box file is missing.

I am new to Vagrant, so please excuse if I am overlooking something.

Thanks, Martin

Hi @metmajer

Check out the Getting Started section of the README. You'll likely only ever need dummy.box. In fact, I'm a vagrant-rackspace power user and that's the only box I've ever used.

It's called dummy.box because the real box images are on the Rackspace cloud, unlike providers like VirtualBox or VMWare where the box file contains the actual image.
