The current host directory . is synced with the guest directory /vagrant. By default with vagrant

Disable Gui

If your os support X11 forwarding (if not, change it), you can disable the VM gui and launch only Ghidra graphically

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

    config.vm.box = "nirae/ghidra_debian"
  
    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
      vb.gui = false
    end
end
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
vagrant@buster:~$ ghidra

Changing some hardware parameters

Create or change the Vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

    config.vm.box = "nirae/ghidra_debian"
  
    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
      vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--vram", "12"]
      # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
      vb.memory = "4096"
      vb.cpus = 2
    end
end

Enjoy!

Dev

Work on the main Vagrantfile, run it, change it, destroy it...

The ghidra.desktop and ghidra.png is for creating the desktop icon

/!\ Don't forget to restart the vagrant box after the first install to get the xfce desktop

To remember...

Create the box:

vagrant package --vagrantfile init/Vagrantfile

/!\ Don't forget to link the init Vagrantfile

A package.box will be created

Add it to the vagrant boxes:

vagrant box add nirae/ghidra_debian package.box

Remove it:

vagrant box remove nirae/ghidra_debian --all

Let vagrant install the VirtualBox Guest Additions with the package vagrant-vbguest

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
