Build a (non-shared) Vagrant Box for Solaris 11.3
-----------------------------------------------

- download the "Oracle Solaris 11.3 VM Template for Oracle VM VirtualBox"
  from

  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/vm-templates-2245495.html
  (free license, but only for "developing and testing your software")

  -> sol-11_3-vbox.ova, about 1.8 Gbytes

- import the ova into VirtualBox

- work the installation menu (hostname, interface, timezone, language, ...)
- root password (vagrant)
- "create a user account" (vagrant/vagrant1)
   ["must contain one special character"]

- machine will work a while, reboot, then come up with a gui login

- vagrant has sudo rights, but no "no password" ->

     sudo bash
     echo "vagrant ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >>sudoers

- install the "known insecure" key for vagrant

     $ cd
     $ mkdir .ssh
     $ wget --no-check-certificate -O .ssh/authorized_keys \
       https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hashicorp/vagrant/master/keys/vagrant.pub

- no packages yet (nothing, no cc, auto*, git)

     $ sudo pkg install gcc autoconf automake libtool git  

     non-existing: lzo2 lz4 mbedtls fping

- get 3rd party packages:

     https://www.opencsw.org/package/fping/
     https://www.opencsw.org/packages/CSWliblzo-dev   [??]

     $ sudo pkgadd -d http://get.opencsw.org/now
     $ sudo /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -U
     $ sudo /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -y -i liblzo_dev fping

     (/opt/csw/include/lzo, /opt/csw/lib/liblzo2*)

- base system updates

    $ sudo pkg install entire

  (do not ask...)


- still missing at this point:
       - lz4 (use bundled)
       - mbedtls (compile on demand)
       - tun/tap driver!

- shutdown -> pass to vagrant

     sudo init 0
   

- export as vagrant box

   vagrant package --base sol-11_3-vbox --output solaris113-v1.box
   (15+ minutes, the vdisk needs about 2.3Gbyte of space)

    -rw-r--r-- 1 gert users 2236915305 Nov 12 16:45 solaris113-v1.box

- possibly clean up $HOME/.vagrant.d/tmp/vagrant-package-<time>-<rnd>
  afterwards, as vagrat is a bit sloppy about this... and leaves 2+G
  behind here...


- if you need to redo this, and have run "vagrant up solaris-113"
  in the mean time, clear the cached copy of the last vagrant run from 
    $HOME/.vagrant.d/boxes/<name_in_Vagrantfile>
  (otherwise it will just ignore your new .box file)
