Ubuntu Desktop images for Vagrant
Because some people like Vagrant and Ubuntu only publishes cloud images (server)
By taking the vanilla Ubuntu cloud images and installing
ubuntu-desktop meta-package and setting up lightdm to
automatically login the vagrant user.
Because actual .box files are very large, updating them would require a lot of bandwidth, and make peer review harder, the actual images are provided as a recipe that modifies official cloud images. To generate your set you will need the following tools:
-
vagrant (>= 1.0.6)
-
GNU make
To generate all images simply run::
$ make
To generate a specific release only::
$ make raring
Ready to bring up your image and start using it?
$ make launch-raring
This will create a new Vagrant project using the raring desktop box, and boot directly into Unity. When you're done, just delete the raring directory that was created.
