Packer templates for vagrant baseboxes

THIS REPOSITORY HAS MOVED

This is the former GitHub repository for a collection of community-driven templates for Vagrant. All the templates have been moved to individual repositories under the box-cutter organization: https://github.com/box-cutter

basebox-packer's Issues

Error on running "packer build -var "provisioner=chef" ubuntu1310.json" within corresponding template folder

Everytime I want to install chef latest provisioner, it fails.

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> vmware: Script exited with non-zero exit status: 1
--> virtualbox: Script exited with non-zero exit status: 1

WinRM not configured on win7x64-pro box

I generated a new win7x64-pro box and WinRM is not configured. I believe it's related to the "fix networking" logic which is not being applied correctly. If I comment out these lines the network is tweaked as expected:
https://github.com/misheska/basebox-packer/blob/master/template/windows7/floppy/install-winrm.cmd#L15-L16

I see this same behavior with both VMware and VirtualBox boxes.

00-run-all-scripts.cmd in Windows templates enhancements

Per Ross Smith,

Skip all .bat/.cmd scripts that start with an underscore (floppy/00-run-all-scripts.cmd)
Added debug variables PACKER_DEBUG and PACKER_PAUSE (floppy/00-run-all-scripts.cmd)
Moved A:\ to end of the PATH, to give precendence to installed applications (floppy/00-run-all-scripts.cmd)
Search for tee.exe in the PATH first, before looking in A:\ (floppy/00-run-all-scripts.cmd)

Problem with VMWare provisioning

For some reason it works on VirtualBox but not on VMWare.

hashicorp/packer#847

Have permissions issues.

misheska-ubuntu1204 "vmware_fusion" box appears to be vmware_desktop

Here's a gist with my Vagrantfile and the output: https://gist.github.com/mkocher/6526747

The virtualbox box works great, but the link for a fusion box seems to lead to the wrong box?

Wrong filename (swp)

There is a file named

.install-openssh-sshd.bat.swp

in "basebox-packer/template/windows2012r2/floppy".
Should be

install-openssh-sshd.bat

instead.

Vagrant config for jenkins

In the spirit of eating ones own dog food, do you happen to have Jenkins running in vagrant? If so, would you be opposed to publishing the vagrant configs for it?

Heartbleed patched openssh issues with Windows 8.1 32-bit

Windows 8.1 32-bit seems to have issues with setupssh-6.6p1-1-v1.exe. I'm seeing the infamous child_info_fork::abort "Loaded to different address" error

Windows 7 template WinRM not working

Currently after Sysprep, in the Windows 7 templates, despite having a OOBE Network setting of "Work", WinRM isn't properly enabled because the Network type is set to "Public" and it needs to be either "Work" or "Home".

WinRM refuses to configure if the network adapter type is "Public", and thus doesn't work.

So you'll notice that all the Windows 7 templates don't work because vagrant can't connect to them. This can be fixed by hand by setting the Network type to "Work", then re-running the winrm config script.

Looking in to a way to fix this in an automated fashion.

I never noticed this issue in the Windows 7 templates because I wasn't trying to use WinRM until recently with the switch to using vagrant-windows. These Windows 7 templates never worked properly with WinRM.

Shared folders not working with Windows baseboxes & Vagrant 1.6

Hangs when you try to load up the Windows baseboxes w/Vagrant 1.6, which were working with Vagrant 1.5.4

Use of Powershell in preinstall scripts stymies Windows update slipstreamg

Use wget or bitsadmin, if found in the PATH, or on A:, otherwise use powershell
Skip downloading any file if it's found on a:, d:\ or in the PATH
This addresses the following issues after slipstreaming Windows updates into installation media:
After installing all Windows and .Net 3.51 updates, running powershell during installation would produce:
"Version v4.0.30319 of the .NET Framework is not installed and it is required to run version 3 of Windows PowerShell."
After installing all Windows and .Net 3.51 updates, and then .NET 4.51 (NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe),
running powershell during installation would produce:
"Internal Windows PowerShell error. Loading managed Windows PowerShell failed with error 80070002."

failed substitution of ULTRADEFRAG_DIR

Just tried building a Windows 2012r2 box; it works, but I noticed this:

    virtualbox-iso: ==> Removing "%ULTRADEFRAG_DIR%"
    virtualbox-iso: Could Not Find C:\Users\vagrant\%ULTRADEFRAG_DIR%

Start ssh daemon last in the Windows templates to avoid premature shutdown

Per Ross Smith,

The Windows templates should avoid starting the ssh daemon until after all the other "pre-install" scripts have run, to avoid premature shutdown. In order to make the Windows 7 templates work with WinRM, they will be resetting/mucking around with the network interfaces during the postinstall phase - while Packer is pretty tolerant of the SSH connection being dropped, it is best just to not bother with this at all.

Plus, if one does a Windows update during the packer run, Packer definitely isn't as good at handling Windows reboots as it is Unix/Linux reboots. Best to try to take care of the reboots before starting the ssh daemon.

Just start the sshd daemon last.

Rename to zz-start-sshd.cmd (or something like that), as the 00-run* script runs scripts in alphabetical order.

Typo in all Windows templates setting winrm to auto start

Everyone's been copying this line from the Veewee templates to configure winrm to auto-start (including me):
cmd.exe /c sc config winrm start=auto

This is incorrect and the command will error. It should be this in all the Sysprep templates:
cmd.exe /c sc config winrm start= auto

(Need to be a space after the =)

License missing?

Hello,

I'd like to fork this repository, but I'm not sure what kind of license the files in this repo fall under.

Would the owner mind adding a LICENSE or COPYING file?

Thanks

Debian 6.0x boxes not configuring VMware Tools properly

Using VMware Fusion 6.0.3/VMware Workstation 10.0.2, VMware Tools are not configured properly For debian609-i386 box (64-bit box builds fine)

ubuntu boxes

Can you please add the package nfs-common to the ubuntu boxes you build so that NFS mounts work properly?

Debian ISO download source not working anymore

jousch@foobar basebox-packer (master) $ make vmware/debian71.box

    rm -rf output-vmware; \
    mkdir -p ../../vmware; \
    packer build -only=vmware debian71.json
vmware output will be in this color.

There are no iso files available -> Look

Possibility of Net Installs

Would it be acceptable to patch and use the net installs as opposed to the DVD installs. I've found its generally faster to get the net iso and let the fastest mirror work its magic. I didn't want to make a pull request if there was a reason you're using DVD iso's though.

vmware/centos nfs-utils missing

Prevents from mounting shared folders via NFS with VMWare (Fusion) provider. This may also fail on VirtualBox.

You may want to add the following to the templates/centos/script/base.sh:

yum install -y nfs-utils

VirtualBox guest additions ISO task hangs

I attempted to create a basebox using the Fedora 19 template and the build process hangs with this message: "Uploading VirtualBox guest additions ISO..."

The template needs to specify the guest additions ISO which then results in a successful build.

Compact and defrag Windows baseboxes

Good tip: joefitzgerald/packer-windows#53 Because Windows defrag.exe can't be used usefully in a script, using ultradefrag instead, plus Sysinternals sdelete tool to zero free disk space

See if Vagrant 1.6 negates the need for Windows 7 network hacks

Vagrant 1.6 seems to support this config setting, so the Windows 7 template should no longer have to do it:

config.windows.set_work_network - Force network adapters to "Work Network". Useful for Win7 guests using private networking.

WinRM not working with Windows baseboxes & Vagrant 1.6

When I disable the SSH server on the Windows basebox and try to use config.vm.communicator = "winrm" - vagrant ssh still seems to try to be using ssh

Move files shared by multiple templates to common folder

For example, the floppy and script files for the windows templates.

I like .windows in the template folder.

Populate the environment variables that Cygwin removes

I'm working on the PR now. Here is a hint:
