Packer builder for RPI Vagrant Builder box for Virtualbox.
The purpose is create a Vagrant Virtualbox template with all dependencies installed ready to create Raspbian images with https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen Because of qemu issues identified in RPi-Distro/pi-gen#271 , this vm is based 32bits Debian Buster (i686)
It also installs apt-cacher-ng in order to make it possible to cache downloaded deb packages via 0.0.0.0:3142
./build.sh
When the vm is built, it will be exported as Vagrant box to builds folder,
you can already test it direclty with vagrant up (have a look at the vagrantfile).
The build script can also upload the vm to VagrantCloud if upload argument is provided
and a proper enviornment variable is defined.
Clone https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen
git clone https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen.git
and inside the repository create a file called Vagrantfile (there is also a
Vagrantfile.template in this project as a example) with:
$run = <<"SCRIPT"
echo ">>> Generating rpi image ... $@"
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
export RPIGEN_DIR="${1:-/home/vagrant/rpi-gen}"
export APT_PROXY='http://127.0.0.1:3142'
# Prepare. Copy the repo to another location to run as root
rsync -a --delete --exclude 'work' --exclude 'deploy' /vagrant/ ${RPIGEN_DIR}/
cd ${RPIGEN_DIR}
# Clean previous builds. Start always from scratch (the proxy helps here!)
sudo umount --recursive work/*/stage*/rootfs/{dev,proc,sys} || true
# Delete old builds
sudo rm -rf work/*
# Build it again
sudo --preserve-env=APT_PROXY ./build.sh
# Copy images back to host
[ -d deploy ] && cp -vR deploy /vagrant/
SCRIPT
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# All Vagrant configuration is done here. The most common configuration
# options are documented and commented below. For a complete reference,
# please see the online documentation at vagrantup.com.
config.vm.define :rpigen do |rpigen|
# Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of.
rpigen.vm.box = "jriguera/rpibuilder-buster-10.4-i386"
rpigen.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
s.inline = $run
s.args = "#{ENV['WORK_DIR']}"
end
end
end
and run vagrant up. It will start downloading the Virtualbox base image
(based on Debian Buster i386) and after done, it will run the build.sh script
of the repo. Once finished, it will move the images in the deploy folder.
If the process fails, you can run again with vagrant provision. vagrant destroy
will delete the vm and its contents.
