This is a collection of scripts to create a minimal vagrant CentOS box.

There is some configuration for the CentoS release, VM name, memory and disk size in config/config.sh

The main script is bin/create-vm.sh, it will launch the other scripts to download the CentOS image, create a floppy kickstart image, dvd image wich uses the floppy kickstart and use VirtualBox to create and launch the virtual machine. This will take a while.

Once this is finished you can launch the bin/create-vagrant-basebox.sh, this will do the final step of packaging the virtual machine into a vagrant box.

The script was just tested on:

• Fedora 16
• with sudo rights
• creating a CentOS 6.2 box
• on VirtualBox 4.1.12

The kickstart file config/ks.cfg makes assumptions on the CentOS release and VirtualBox version, as it installs the VirtualBoxAdditions and these have to match the VirtualBox version.

The vagrant box will have the default settings as recommended by the vagrant website:

• hostname: vagrantup.com
• vagrant user: vagrant password vagrant
• root password: vagrant
• unsecure vagrant ssh keys installed for easy "vagrant ssh"
• puppet is installed (not Chef though)
