Images on: https://app.vagrantup.com/cmihai Ansible scripts at: https://github.com/crivetimihai/ansible-rhel-8
- Packer builds base OS images (RHEL/Fedora) from Kickstart and outputs VirtualBox/Vagrant Box/KVM/VMware images.
- Vagrant calls Ansible scripts to perform post-provisioning tasks.
Currently supports Vagrant box and images (VirtualBox, VMware and KVM) for RHEL 8, CentOS 7, Fedora 30, Ubuntu 18.04, Alpine 3.10.
- Download installation media to
../iso. - Install
packerandvagrant. - Optionally, install
ansible. Builds are designed to useansible-local, but you can change to useansibleinVagrantfile.
