Vagrant Desktop Images
Ubuntu Desktop images for Vagrant
Why?
Because some people like Vagrant and Canonical only publishes server, cloud images.
How?
By taking the vanilla Ubuntu cloud images and installing ubuntu-desktop
meta-package and setting up lightdm to automatically login the vagrant
user.
Usage (premade images)
These instructions should work on Linux, OS X and Cygwin.
Recommended on Ubuntu, install apt-cacher-ng:
sudo apt-get install apt-cacher-ngMake the Ubuntu 14.04 image (i386 version):
make trusty-desktop-i386.box
vagrant box add -f trusty-desktop-i386 trusty-desktop-i386.boxThen create this Vagrantfile somewhere and 'vagrant up' it:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby sw=2 ts=2 :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# Use a basic trusty desktop image from git://github.com/zyga/vagrant-destop-images.git
config.vm.box = "trusty-desktop-i386"
# TODO: offer premade images for download
config.vm.box_url = ""
# Tweak VirtualBox configuration for GUI applications
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
vb.gui = true
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", 1024]
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--vram", 64]
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--accelerate3d", "on"]
end
# Automatically use local apt-cacher-ng if available
if File.exists? "/etc/apt-cacher-ng"
# If apt-cacher-ng is installed on this machine then just use it.
require 'socket'
guessed_address = Socket.ip_address_list.detect{|intf| !intf.ipv4_loopback?}
if guessed_address
config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "echo 'Acquire::http { Proxy \"http://#{guessed_address.ip_address}:3142\"; };' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00proxy"
end
end
# Update to have the latest packages, remove if you don't need that
config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "apt-get update"
config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get dist-upgrade --yes"
# Ready :-)
