Hi all,
I'm running VirtualBox (5.0.20) under Windows 10 and have a quick question
about creating a package box from VirtualBox guest.
1. My Ubuntu 14.04.4 guest I configure with a single NIC (attached to
NAT) and then I go through and install the OS, VirtualBox Guest Additions
etc etc. to get it to a good point that I will use as a base package.
We'll assume that I've called my VirtualBox guest "UbuntuBasePackage".
2. I create a folder *C:\Vagrant\Boxes* and through a command prompt,
enter that folder
3. I create a text file (*UbuntuBasePackage.txt*) that will be used as
the initial provisioning (I hope that's the correct term) Vagrantfile for
the package. The text file contains a custom SSH username ("*bob*") and
password that I'll use within my boxes. It looks like this:
4.
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "file://D://Vagrant//Boxes//UBP.box"
config.vm.define "UBP"
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
v.name = "UBP"
v.memory = 1024
v.cpus = 1
end
config.ssh.username = "bob"
config.ssh.password = "bobbob"
end
5. I then create my base package using the following command
1. *vagrant package --base UbuntuBasePackage --output UBP.box
--vagrantfile UBP.txt*
6. All goes great.
7. Now I create *C:\Vagrant\UBP* and through a command prompt, enter
that folder
8. I now initialize my new box with the following
1. *vagrant init C:\Vagrant\Boxes\UBP.box*
9. All goes great and a Vagrantfile appears in the UBP folder.
10. It's at this point that developers would potentially customize the
box to their own environments, so my instructions are to edit the new
Vagrantfile to look something like this
11.
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "C:/Vagrant/Boxes/UBP.box"
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.56.40"
config.vm.define "UBP"
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
v.name = "UBP"
v.memory = 1024
end
end
12. *Please note* the configuration of the *additional private_network
interface*!
13. Once the file is saved, we start the guest up with the normal *vagrant
up*.
1. I notice that the log shows that Adapter 1: nat and Adapter 2:
hostonly
14. All is just fine, but I've noticed that there are some interesting
results when it comes to the networking.
1. I can (from the host) SSH into the 192.168.56.40 address - great!
2. I can (from the host) access a WWW server from 192.168.56.40 -
great!
3. From the guest, I run *ifconfig* and notice that my eth1 (2nd
"HostOnly" NIC) is configured with a DHCP address of 192.168.56.101
4. I can (from the host) now access both SSH and WWW from
192.168.56.101
15. I check the /etc/network/interfaces file and sure enough, there's a
couple of additional entries
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
*auto eth1*
*iface eth1 inet dhcp*
#VAGRANT-BEGIN
# The contents below are automatically generated by Vagrant. Do not modify.
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.56.40
netmask 255.255.255.0
#VAGRANT-END
I check the original UbuntuBasePackage server within VirtualBox, and
there's the loopback and eth0 assigned as I expect. I can understand the
*Vagrant
begin* being added to the file and indeed, that's the IP address that was
set in the Vagrantfile, but where's the initial request for DHCP coming
from (in *bold*)?
