Packer templates.

Packer templates for building base VM boxes.

NOTE: Maybe you prefer official Ubuntu and CentOS vagrant boxes

There are now official Ubuntu and CentOS vagrant boxes at Vagrant Cloud. These boxes are regularly updated to have newer packages. If you don't need to build a customized box, maybe you can use those boxes instead of building boxes yourself using Packer and templates in this repository.

• ubuntu/trusty64
• ubuntu/trusty32
• centos/7

For example, you can use Vagrantfile like below to use official CentOS 7 box.

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "centos/7"
end
