Once installed unload the ISO and restart the VM. Username and Password should be: vagrant (for convenience, not for security). Load the ISO as part of the VM storage and install the OS. For convenience the Virtual Disk should be Dynamic ( VMDK), so don't bee too stingy with the disk size ( >= 10GB IMO ).The first network interface (adapter 1) must be a NAT adapter.I have downloaded the 64bit Desktop ISO: - Define your Virtual Machine taking into consideration that: Step 1: Create the Virtual Machine with Virtual Box - Install VirtualBoxĭownload relevant VirtualBox installable package for your host system from the website: - Download Ubuntu ISO Most of the guides out there focus on Linux distributions without GUI, so I decided that while I am creating my Vagrant Base Box with Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop I would document all the relevant steps next:
Once Vagrant is covered I want to get deeper with Docker because I see a lot of potential in lightweight containers instead of using heavy virtual machines.
My idea is to have two Linux Base Boxes with Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu Desktop respectively and then another two with Windows 7 and 8. Although I already use Vagrant, today I decided I wanted to know how to create my own Base Boxes that I can reuse. Since the advent of the IaaS and PaaS providers, the decline in usage of monolithic architectures (e.g.: application server + relational DB) and the need for distributed and automatically scalable applications, as software developers we have to be increasingly more aware and skilled in the tools and techniques used to orchestrate and automate the deployment of all the different components that our architecture might end up with.Īmong these tools, normally encompassed in the DevOps space, I am currently very interested in Vagrant, Docker, Ansible and Ubuntu JuJu.
