A puppet module for installing guest additions in VirtualBox and VMWare.

This module was originally intended to be used with packer to install the guest additions as part of the puppet-masterless provisioner.

class {'guest_additions':
  cd_image => '/home/packer/linux.iso',
}

Will assume that a CD containing the guest additions is available at /home/packer/linux.iso. It will auto-detect the hypervisor (using facter) and install the appropriate guest additions. Automatic detection of the hypervisor can be turned off by using the platform attribute.

Other optional parameters are:

• cd_device (must be used when cd_image is absent)
• mount_point (by default this is /media/cdrom)
• platform (by default this is auto-filled by detecting the hypervisor)
• remove_iso (if installing from an ISO file, delete it when finished - Default: true)

• The mount puppet type is not used to avoid writing to fstab.
• This module is not entirely idempotent since it was designed to run as part of a provisioner
