2021 vagrant box

[kasperk81]

@sax, could you please publish an update with SmartOS 2021? Thanks!

I will not have much time to look at this in the near future. That said, I would be happy to test/merge a pull request, if you have the time to make one. Otherwise, if you have any pointers, stack traces or other artifacts demonstrating what is not working, that would be really helpful when I can carve out time.

Actually my request was about pushing an update to the existing box: https://app.vagrantup.com/livinginthepast/boxes/smartos-base64 with 2021 image.

Something like vagrant cloud box update with latest 2021 base image from https://wiki.smartos.org/download-smartos/. Does it happen through the CI or could you manually update one?

Thanks!

Ah, ok. I have another repo where I built that, but I haven't touched it in... ooof... 7 years. I'll take a look when I get some time.

Cool. if it is all scripted, maybe a GitHub Actions script can run once a month and check if there is a newer image available upstream then trigger the other action which published to vagrant cloud without manual intervention.

Closing it in favor of vagrant-smartos/vagrant-smartos-packager#7. If CI cron-job sound interesting, I can prepare a PR (it will just require encrypted token of vagrant account).

If you have time to look at vagrant-smartos-packager in the next few days to see if there are required changes based on SmartOS development within the last 7 years, that would be more directly helpful that setting up github actions. CI is much simpler for me to drop in, if the scripts themselves work.

I had to apply:

as startvm flag only works with vboxmanagevm since v6. It has created the latest virtual machine on latest MBP BigSur (and latest VirtualBox), and entered the SmartOS setup. After that i followed the rest of the instructions from readme and boxified succeeded without any further modifications. So it's ready. :)
