vagrant cloud images missing
paleozogt opened this issue · 7 comments
I can't create any of the box-cutter vagrant images. For example:
➜ vagrant init box-cutter/ubuntu1604-desktop
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.
➜ vagrant up

Did you delete them from vagrantcloud? If so, you should really remove the webpages as they're very misleading now.
Since it might be interesting to people reading this issue, I would like to point to an issue #1573245 in Ubuntu Launchpad for the cloud-images project where I am requesting Canonical to provide also Ubuntu Desktop images on Vagrant Cloud, in addition to their Ubuntu Server images which are already one of the most popular on Vagrant Cloud.
Of course the more verbal support and upvotes (more specifically "This affects me" button) is voiced in that issue, the more chance they will once provide Ubuntu Desktop images as well.
The point of using boxcutter to me is to generate your own box... If you want a generic base box you can just use the ubuntu already existing on Atlas (vagrant cloud as it seems now).
Xenial ubuntu base box:
https://app.vagrantup.com/ubuntu/boxes/xenial64
Someone wanting desktop image can just install/provision the right UI desktop in his vagrantfile... "sudo apt -y install ubuntu-gnome-desktop" over an ubuntu server base box will provide you mostly what ubuntu desktop image variant is...
Don't forget to add this to your vagrantfile in order for the UI to come up :
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
v.gui = true
end
I would close this one... As it related to vagrant more then packer, not something related to boxcutter code base...
We might delete this before closing it :
https://app.vagrantup.com/box-cutter/boxes/ubuntu1604-desktop
And many more https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sort=downloads&provider=&q=box-cutter
maybe...
:)
@ BuhtigithuB The problem isn't so much that boxcutter doesn't make vagrant boxen, but that they're listed on vagrant cloud and are broken.
