Packer - ubuntu 18.04 Vagrant Box With Desktop
This is a stable example. It should successfully build out of the box
This example creates a **_Ubuntu Virtual Box**._
Pre-built Vagrant Box:
This example build configuration installs and configures ubuntu desktop amd64.
The following software must be installed/present on your local machine before you can use Packer to build the Vagrant box file:
Make sure all the required software (listed above) is installed, then cd to the directory containing this README.md file, and run:
$ cd ubuntu-18$ ubuntu-packer-build.sh 18.03 or 18.04 <VagrantCloud User/login> <VagrantCloud Password>
$ cd ubuntu-20$ ubuntu-packer-build.sh <VagrantCloud User/login> <VagrantCloud Password>
After a few minutes, Packer should tell you the box was generated successfully, and the box was uploaded to Vagrant Cloud.
> Note: This configuration includes a post-processor that pushes the built box to Vagrant Cloud (which requires a VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN environment variable to be set); remove the vagrant-cloud post-processor from the Packer template to build the box locally and not push it to Vagrant Cloud. You don’t need to specify a version variable either, if not using the vagrant-cloud post-processor.
There’s an included Vagrantfile that allows quick testing of the built Vagrant boxes. From VagrantFile-Example/ directory, run one the following command after building the box:
_$ cd VagrantFile-Example/__$ vagrant up_
