(WIP) Use packer to build a virtualbox vm containing lxc containers.

LXC Playground

This provides a virtualbox and vagrant basebox containing all the tools for starting up LXC instances inside a virtualbox vm running ubuntu 13.04.

Requirements

Install the following requirements to use this repo:

• Packer
• Vagrant
• Virtualbox

Usage

With the above requirements installed, run the following to build the vm containing lxc tools:

packer build playground.json

After a couple minutes, packer should build an ovf and box file in the output-virtualbox directory. From here you can add the box to vagrant and create a new vagrant file or open virtualbox and import the ovf file.

TODO

The tasks below are driven by this blog post:

• Packer provisions base ubuntu 13.04 instance without user interaction.
• Setup provisioner to install lxc requirements.
• Setup provisioner to install vagrant-lxc
