- With packer you could create a base vagrant box and then just get it up with Vagrant on Virtualbox or VMware!*
###Linux
-
Install Virtualbox Just download from here
-
Install Vagrant Download and install from here
-
Install Packer Download and unzip Packer
Let's make Packer to work! Move to folder you downloaded this project and start
```packer build -force packer_{system OS}.json``` or use ```packer build --force --only=virtualbox-iso packer_{system OS}.json```
Packer will start to build a MV and then will export it to convert it to a Vagrant box, take seat....
You could modify bash script in 'scripts' folder to install/configure your template Vagrant box.
When Packer job finish you could find a "{system OS}.box" inside the packer_output folder so move to the desired OS vagrant dir and get it up! Feel free of copy this folder where you are more confortable.
Then just vagrant up it and you could connect trough SSH: ssh vagrant@localhost:2222 / vagrant ssh for Linux guests or vagrant rdp for Windows guests
#####Other vagrant commands:
vagrant destroy and vagrant reload
vagrant halt ,vagrant suspend and vagrant resume
vagrant ssh, vagrant rdp, etc

OK, so you need multiple VMs? No problem, just clone the vagrant/{OS} dir, change the port forwarding to avoid used ports a vagrant up another instance!
