Create Libvirt Box

Notes: this is the temp solution.

Use shell script create_box.sh. This is edited version of create_box.sh from vagrant-libvirt.

Steps:

1. stop the vm

   vagrant stop
   
   # wait 10 - 20 seconds
   
   # check
   vagrant status
   
   # or, check qemu process
   ps -ef | grep qemu
   

2. find the image (in the same dir with the Vagrantfile)

   find . -name "*.img"
   

3. create box with create_box.sh

   ./create_box.sh [path to img, from step 2] [box name]
   
   # for example
   ./create_box.sh ./.vagrant/machines/default/qemu/bU6uTtFoXTE/linked-box.img mybox
   

Notes:

• Each box contains a default Vagrantfile, you can change it by:
  • Provide the third argument (path to the addition config file) to add more info to the default Vagrantfile (see create_box.sh for detail)
  • Edit the create_box.sh directly to change the default Vagrantfile
• You may need to check the original default Vagrantfile with the source box (you can find it by find ~/.vagrant.d -name Vagrantfile)
• In the default Vagrantfile, all parts related to libvirt will be ignored by this vagrant-qemu provider
