<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hello,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I prepared OpenIndiana vagrant box from the latest hipster 2016.04 snapshot. This is targeted mostly at users and developers, who do not run OI as their main platform, but use VirtualBox for developing software or doing illumos builds on OpenIndiana. This box is created from text installer. GUI variant can come at the later phase and I am willing to accept contributions for that. Also, this box comes only with virtualbox as I don’t have access to VMWare Fusion or Vagrant vmware provider. If somebody has access to it and is willing to contribute, I’d gladly appreciate it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">How to get started:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1) Download and install Vagrant from <a href="https://www.vagrantup.com" class="">https://www.vagrantup.com</a></div><div class="">2) Download and Install VirtualBox </div><div class="">3) Run following commands:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">vagrant init openindiana/hipster; vagrant up --provider virtualbox</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This will download the hipster box, create Vagrantfile in the current directory and bring up the hipster vagrant box.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">4) Do you development/test it.</div><div class="">5) After finished, run this command to destroy the instnace:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">vagrant destroy</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please, test this box and let me know any issues. Once, bugs are removed, I will recreate the box and push the final build to Hashicorp’s Atlas.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am aware of only these 2 minor bugs, which annoy me:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- grub timeout is set to 30 seconds, which will be lowered to 5 (no need to have it 30 seconds in this case)</div><div class="">- box size. The box is compressed and has around 1GB in size. This is rather more complicated, but I’d like to try to minimize the box size a little bit.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In the future, I’d like to start rolling out OI images for more platforms. I might do qcow2 image in near future (based on how fast I might come to KVM resources).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If there are any questions, just ask.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Adam </div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
