@ruebot: I think this is great -- being able to run vagrant up and have a fresh VM running in about 2 minutes is really nice. Even the first time when I had to download the base image, it was faster than using an existing base box and installing everything.

But I don't know how the new base box is built and maintained. Are there scripts/Puppet/Ansible/etc. config for building it? Or at least documentation on which packages need to be installed?

@escowles good morning 😄

Got that info in my first comment on the JIRA ticket. Basically:

• we split this repo into a separate repo; fcrepo4-vagrant-base-box
• build the base box; vagrant up
• we shut down the virtual machine, and run vagrant package
• take the package.box file and upload it to atlas; fcrepo4-base
• update this repo's vagrant file to use the base box
• remove all the build scripts that are used the build the base box
• $$$ profit 😝

...and all still just Vagrant and Bash

👍 very nice!
