# Babelbox Packer build
|
|
|
|
This repository provides build configuration and Debian installer preseed files
|
|
for building [Babelbox](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox)
|
|
virtual machine images for QEMU/KVM and VirtualBox using [HashiCorp
|
|
Packer](https://packer.io/).
|
|
|
|
## Building the VM images
|
|
|
|
The images need to be built in separate steps because VirtualBox and KVM cannot
|
|
reserve the needed CPU extension (VT-x, AMD-V) at the same time.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
packer build --only=qemu debian-babelbox.json
|
|
packer build --only=virtualbox-iso debian-babelbox.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Preparing for Babelbox demo
|
|
|
|
Due to image size reasons we do not include a Debian DVD ISO image into the
|
|
image. Therefore the VMs have to be booted into the regular OS (first Grub menu
|
|
option). Login as user `demo` with password `babelbox`. The shell should start
|
|
to download a Debian DVD ISO image into `/srv/`.
|
|
|
|
If this does not work due to connectivity or DNS issues you have `vim` and
|
|
`sudo` in your toolbelt.
