I am a new vagrant user. (I have used vmware fusion and virtualbox, albeit on full linux ubuntu guests.)
I am interested in building minimalistic guests for single functions. think appliance. for example, I may want to create a guest box that has perl, a few perl modules, possibly an nfs server (to change files when not on the host, possibly not). after boot, it should run my designated perl program and restart or shutdown on exit. no general shell, no multiuser capabilities, nothing else. only necessary processes (e.g., basic networking). the less crud, the better. fewer intrusion vectors. less space required. lean and mean. could someone please recommend the best existing box to the task? the vagrantup getting-started page suggests only hashicorp/precise64 (12.04...really?), a set of cloud images, and bento boxes, which all seem to be fairly fat distros. is there a turnkey linux or slimmer distro available for vagrant? regards, /iaw -- This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
