I've used Packer to build Vagrant boxes from scratch, starting from a Debian Linux ISO.
Is there a way to build Vagrant boxes by starting with an existing Vagrant box instead of doing it from scratch? For example, how would I build a box based on the generic/debian9 box available from Vagrant Cloud? In the Docker world, the Dockerfile plays the same role that the *.json file does in Packer. If you want to build a Docker image based on Debian Stretch, your Dockerfile would start with "FROM debian:stretch". If you want to build a Docker image based on my minimal Debian Stretch image, your Dockerfile would start with "FROM rubyonracetracks/debian-stretch-min". -- This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
