This Ubuntu 16.04 box, which is heavily used internally.

Also, you can check out our Ansible roles. They allow quickly build PHP or Node.js based ready-to-use environment on top of this box.

What included:

• VirtualBox Guest Additions (of course)
• mailhog (web-interface on :8025)
• nullmail (system-wide MTA)
• udp-web-logger (web-ui on :9000, udp on :9010)
• en_US.UTF-8 and ru_RU.UTF-8 locales (default: en_US.UTF-8)
• Pre-installed software: ansible, mc, git, etc..
• Filesystem optimization: noatime, nodiratime
• Easy add new interfaces: source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* already included in /etc/network/interfaces
• Grub optimizations: quiet, fastboot

Removed software:

• cron — it's a dangerous idea have working cron in development vm
• syslog — just use journalctl

In case you want to build boxes yourself.

• VirtualBox >= 5.1.22, https://www.virtualbox.org/
• Vagrant >= 1.9.4, https://www.vagrantup.com/
• Packer >= 0.11.0, https://www.packer.io/

Use packer to build image:

packer build ./ubuntu16.json

Start any build process and take a rest, depending on your system, build will finish in ~20-30 minutes.

Do not want to upload box to Atlas? Here is the solution:

Check out example/example-metadata.json and example/example-vagrantfile for self-hosted boxes.

To calculate correct sha1 signature for a box, use:

openssl sha1 ./build/*.box
