=> default: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports. => default: Checking if box 'ubuntu/trusty64' is up to date. => default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking. => default: Importing base box 'ubuntu/trusty64'. Run the vagrant upīringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider. It is time to boot our first Vagrant environment. This means that if we have two projects both using the 'ubuntu/trusty64' box we just added, adding files in one guest machine will have no effect on the other machine. Each project uses a box as an initial image to clone from, and never modifies the actual base image. Now, we can spin off as many 'ubuntu/trusty64' boxes as we want as long as our machine can handle it.Īdded boxes can be re-used by multiple projects.

As will be described in next section, if we specify which one to use in Vagrantfile, Vagrant will download it. We may want to know that boxes are globally stored for the current user.Īctually, we don't have to add box using vagrant box add command. In the example above, the username is 'ubuntu', and the box is 'trusty64'. Boxes are broken down into two parts - the username and the box name - separated by a slash. HashiCorp's Atlas box catalog, a place where we can find Note that we downloaded the box named 'ubuntu/trusty64' from It just downloads the image but not install anything on our system. => box: Successfully added box 'ubuntu/trusty64' (v20170202.0.0) for 'virtualbox'! => box: Adding box 'ubuntu/trusty64' (v20170202.0.0) for provider: virtualbox => box: Loading metadata for box 'ubuntu/trusty64' We're going to pick some boxes that we want to install. This stores the box under a specific name so that multiple Vagrant environments can re-use it. These base images are known as boxes in Vagrant, and specifying the box to use for our Vagrant environment is always the first step after creating a new Vagrantfile.īoxes are added to Vagrant with vagrant box add. Instead of building a virtual machine from scratch, Vagrant uses a base image to quickly clone a virtual machine.
