This repository contains the scripts necessary to create a Vagrant-compatible boot2docker box. If you work solely with Docker, this box lets you keep your Vagrant workflow and work in the most minimal Docker environment possible.

If you just want to use the box, then download the latest box from the releases page and vagrant up as usual! Or, if you don't want to leave your terminal:

$ vagrant init boot2docker https://github.com/mitchellh/boot2docker-vagrant-box/releases/download/v0.4.0/boot2docker.box
$ vagrant up

If you want to recreate the box, rather than using the binary, then you can use the Packer template and sources within this repository to do it in seconds.

To build the box, first install the following prerequisites:

• Packer (at least version 0.5.1)
• VirtualBox

Then, just run make. The resulting box will be named "boot2docker.box". The entire process to make the box takes about 20 seconds.
