This project contains all of the assets required to successfully build a Fedora Vagrant box. Currently the only supported Vagrant provider is virtualbox. Hashicorp Packer is employed to build and package this Vagrant box.

This Fedora Workstation is provisioned as a base box that can easily be further provisioned as an Infrastructure as Code development workstation. It includes:

• Git
• VSCode
• Remmina
• Google Chrome
• Firefox
• Docker CE (vagrant user is put in docker group)
• Python3

• Fedora 30 (64-bit)
• Fedora 31 (64-bit)

Install according to vendor instuctions:

• Hashicorp Vagrant
• Hashicorp Packer
• Oracle VirtualBox

NOTE: The VirtualBox Extension Pack is not necessary and should not be installed unless you are willing to pay licensing fees to Oracle for its use!

Execute:

packer build fedora{{ VERSION }}.json

NOTE: Replace {{ VERSION }} with correct version number such as 30. Example: packer build fedora30.json

This Vagrant box build process can take awhile. This is especially true the first time you execute this build as Packer has to go download the specified Fedora ISO. The fetched ISO is put in ./packer_cache so that Packer only has to download the ISO once.

If you wish to publish your Vagrant box to the Vagrant Cloud, read and follow the directions provided by Hashicorp:
