This repository contains templates for Windows that can create Vagrant boxes using Packer.
64-bit boxes:
- win2012r2-datacenter-nocm, VMware 4.3GB/VirtualBox 4.2GB
- win2012-datacenter-nocm, VMware 3.7GB/VirtualBox 3.5GB
- win2008r2-datacenter-nocm, VMware 3.0GB/VirtualBox 2.8GB
- win81x64-enterprise-nocm, VMware 4.0GB/VirtualBox 3.6GB
- win8x64-enterprise-nocm, VMware 3.6GB/VirtualBox 3.3GB
- win7x64-enterprise-nocm, VMware 3.5GB/VirtualBox 3.2GB
To build all the boxes, you will need both VirtualBox and VMware Fusion or Workstation installed.
A GNU Make Makefile
drives the process via the following targets:
make # Build all the box types (VirtualBox & VMware)
make test # Run tests against all the boxes
make list # Print out individual targets
make clean # Clean up build detritus
To build one particular box, e.g. eval-win7x86-enterprise
, for just one provider, e.g. VirtualBox, first run make list
subcommand:
make list
This command prints the list of available boxes. Then you can build one particular box for choosen provider:
make virtualbox/eval-win7x86-enterprise
The tests are written in Serverspec and require the
vagrant-serverspec
plugin to be installed with:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-serverspec
The Makefile
has individual targets for each box type with the prefix
test-*
should you wish to run tests individually for each box.
Similarly there are targets with the prefix ssh-*
for registering a
newly-built box with vagrant and for logging in using just one command to
do exploratory testing. For example, to do exploratory testing
on the VirtualBox training environmnet, run the following command:
make ssh-box/virtualbox/win2008r2-standard-nocm.box
Upon logout make ssh-*
will automatically de-register the box as well.
You can create a Makefile.local
file alongside the Makefile
to override
some of the default settings. It is most commonly used to override the
default configuration management tool, for example with Chef:
# Makefile.local
CM := chef
Changing the value of the CM
variable changes the target suffixes for
the output of make list
accordingly.
Possible values for the CM variable are:
nocm
- No configuration management toolchef
- Install Chefpuppet
- Install Puppetsalt
- Install Salt
You can also specify a variable CM_VERSION
, if supported by the
configuration management tool, to override the default of latest
.
The value of CM_VERSION
should have the form x.y
or x.y.z
,
such as CM_VERSION := 11.12.4
Another use for Makefile.local
is to override the default locations
for the Windows install ISO files.
For Windows, the ISO path variables are:
EVAL_WIN10_X64
EVAL_WIN10_X86
EVAL_WIN2008R2_X64
EVAL_WIN2012R2_X64
EVAL_WIN7_X64
EVAL_WIN7_X86
EVAL_WIN81_X64
EVAL_WIN81_X86
EVAL_WIN8_X64
WIN2008R2_X64
WIN2012_X64
WIN2012R2_X64
WIN7_X64_ENTERPRISE
WIN7_X64_PRO
WIN7_X86_ENTERPRISE
WIN7_X86_PRO
WIN81_X64_ENTERPRISE
WIN81_X64_PRO
WIN81_X86_ENTERPRISE
WIN81_X86_PRO
WIN8_X64_ENTERPRISE
WIN8_X64_PRO
WIN8_X86_ENTERPRISE
WIN8_X86_PRO
You can also override these setting, such as with
WIN81_X64_PRO := file:///Volumes/MSDN/en_windows_8.1_professional_vl_with_update_x64_dvd_4065194.iso
