Hello, 2 options.
A. you create a box using the source machine you provision with the Vagrantfile, then you need to use vagrant package https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/cli/package.html It need to match the name of the vm in the gui, so you can use VBoxManage list vms and then vagrant package --base <source_vm_name> --output <name_of_box.box> just use a final name on the output, since I read that some people had issues if they rename it. B. You copy the ovf and vmdk of the source to a directory, and use packer.io you can put those files into a directory, say source, then create a packer json template like this { "variables": { "ssh_name": "vagrant", "ssh_pass": "vagrant", "output": "outputbox", "compression" : 6 }, "builders": [{ "type": "virtualbox-ovf", "guest_additions_mode": "disable", "source_path": "source/packer-virtualbox-ovf-1423592072.ovf", "output_directory": "output-{{user `output`}}", "vm_name": "{{user `hostname`}}", "headless" : 0, "ssh_username": "{{user `ssh_name`}}", "ssh_password": "{{user `ssh_pass`}}", "ssh_wait_timeout": "40m", "shutdown_command": "shutdown -h now", "shutdown_timeout": "40m" }], "provisioners" : [ { "type": "shell", "execute_command": "sh '{{ .Path }}'", "inline": [ "echo line end in comma", "echo last line has no comma" ] } ], "post-processors": [ { "type": "vagrant", "only": ["virtualbox-ovf"], "keep_input_artifact": true, "output": "{{user `output`}}.box", "compression_level": "{{user `compression`}}" } ] } On Wed, Feb 11, 2015 at 8:01 AM, Douglas Garstang <[email protected]> wrote: > All, > > I'm trying to rebundle the Ubuntu vagrant box (add some stuff to it).
