Debian 8.0 Jessie Packer template

This template builds a VirtualBox image based on Debian Jessie 8.0. The VM is configured to use 512 MB of RAM and 1 CPU. Those settings, as many others, can be changed in the debian-8.0-jessie.json file.

Usage

  1. Be sure you have Packer and VirtualBox installed in your system.
  2. Clone this repository and go into it.
  3. Run Packer to build the VM.
    • packer build debian-8.0-jessie.json

A VM box file should be created in the working directory under the name packer_virtualbox-iso_virtualbox.box.

Running the built VM

You can now use Vagrant to run it by creating a Vagrantfile with this content:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "debian-8.0"
  config.vm.box_url = "file://packer_virtualbox-iso_virtualbox.box"
end

And leverage and access the VM as usual with Vagrant: vagrant up vagrant ssh

Credits

Based on the nice template written by Tech-Angels.
