I noticed that the box is using a rather old Guest Additions iso, from the 5.x line: "guest_additions_url": " https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.34/VBoxGuestAdditions_5.2.34.iso ", where-as my VirtualBox is from the 6.x line. In my vagrant ssh console, here is what I see: [vagrant@centos7 yum.repos.d]$ lsmod | grep vboxguest vboxguest 311499 2 vboxsf and also, [vagrant@centos7 yum.repos.d]$ sudo /usr/sbin/VBoxService --version 5.2.34r133893 Does it mean that the guest additions from Virtualbox 5.x are working well with Virtualbox 6.x ? Seems unlikely based on what I recollect about virtualbox guest additions. In anycase, I think this question is perhaps more appropriate for Virtualbox forums, but would be happy to find answer here as well, especially in vagrant box context. > Cheers, >> Jeff >> On Mon, Mar 16, 2020 at 9:44 AM BDutta wrote: >> >>> Thanks for the response. >>> >>> It there a way to know if the generic/centos7 box is built using CentOS7 >>> 'minimal' image or 'full image' ? >>> Is there some box specific metadata that is available or a way to check >>> for this information with the box publisher ? >>> >>> On Monday, March 16, 2020 at 4:33:06 AM UTC+5:30, Alvaro Miranda >>> Aguilera wrote: >>>> >>>> hello >>>> >>>> in general: >>>> >>>> you can run scripts and install the software you need. >>>> https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/provisioning/shell.html >>>> >>>> if the process is too slow, you can build your own boxes ready to use. >>>> >>>> Alvaro >>>> >>>> On Sat, Mar 14, 2020 at 9:39 PM BDutta wrote: >>>> >>>>> Hi, >>>>> >>>>> Absolute Vagrant newbie here. >>>>> >>>>> Are the generic/centos7 or generic/rhel7 Vagrant boxes, extensible or >>>>> upgradable such that additional operating system rpms could be installed ? >>>>> I am assuming that those boxes might be setup using the minimal image? >>>>> What if I need some of the rpms that are available as part of standard >>>>> RHEL7/CentOS7 distribution, but not on the box ? >>>>> >>>>> cheers, >>>>> B >>>>> >>>> -- This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.

Re: [vagrant-up] Can (and how) additional OS rpms be added to generic/centos7 or generic/rhel7 Vagrant boxes ?
Thanks for the response. It there a way to know if the generic/centos7 box is built using CentOS7 'minimal' image or 'full image' ? Is there some box specific metadata that is available or a way to check for this information with the box publisher ?

[vagrant-up] Can (and how) additional OS rpms be added to generic/centos7 or generic/rhel7 Vagrant boxes ?
Hi, Absolute Vagrant newbie here. Are the generic/centos7 or generic/rhel7 Vagrant boxes, extensible or upgradable such that additional operating system rpms could be installed ? I am assuming that those boxes might be setup using the minimal image? What if I need some of the rpms that are available as part of standard RHEL7/CentOS7 distribution, but not on the box ? cheers, B -- This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
