Create a Vagrant box from the Solaris .ovf

Solaris Box

This project builds a Vagrant box of Solaris. The code is based on this blog post, but the boot_command has been updated to work with Solaris 11.4. If you don't want to build the box yourself, you can grab the pre-built version from Vagrant Cloud.

Building

Download sol-11_4-vbox.ova from Oracle VM Templates. To build the box:

packer build -force -only=virtualbox-ovf box.json

To register the box with your local Vagrant installation:

vagrant box add build/solaris11.box --name solaris11

To upload the box to Vagrant Cloud:

vagrant cloud publish MartijnDwars/solaris11_4 1.0.0 virtualbox build/solaris11.box

Usage

Run vagrant init solaris11 or manually create a Vagrantfile containing:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "solaris11"
end
