About

This script will:

  1. download and verify the latest Debian "Jessie" ISO
  2. ... do some magic to turn it into a vagrant box file
  3. output debian-jessie-i386.box or debian-jessie-amd64.box

Requirements

  • Oracle VM VirtualBox
  • Vagrant
  • mkisofs for generating a custom Debian CD image
  • 7zip for unpacking the Debian ISO image
  • md5sum or md5 for Debian ISO image hash check

Usage on OSX

./build.sh

This should do everything you need. If you don't have mkisofs or p7zip, install homebrew, then:

brew install cdrtools
brew install p7zip

To add debian-jessie-amd64.box with name debian-jessie into vagrant:

vagrant box add "debian-jessie" debian-jessie-amd64.box

Usage on Linux

./build.sh

This should do everything you need. If you don't have mkisofs or p7zip:

sudo apt-get install genisoimage
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

To add debian-jessie-amd64.box with name debian-jessie into vagrant:
