About

This script will:

1. download and verify the Debian 8 "Jessie" CD image, 64bit or 32bit 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 CD image
• one of md5sum, sha1sum or sha256sum for Debian CD image hash check
• optional: gpg to verify the Debian CD image

Configuration

1. set the password or MD5 hash of the deploy user in preseed.cfg
2. optional: adjust locale of timezone values in preseed.cfg

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:

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

Usage on Windows (under cygwin/git shell)

This script is based on original Carl's repo and with some tweaks to be Debian compatible.
