# Create a FreeBSD Vagrant Box File

Despite there are several [Vagrant boxes](http://www.vagrantbox.es/) available
which run FreeBSD out of the box, it's good to know how to create such a box by
yourself. An advantage might be, that the box comes with only those packages
installed you really need. That's why I decided to create a minimal FreeBSD box
with only as much packages installed to run Ansible. With Ansible installed it's
quite easy to perfectly adapt the box afterwards.

### Prerequisites

1. VirtualBox installed, [download
page](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)

2. Vagrant installed, [download page](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)

### Create a VB virtual machine

1. Create an virtual machine with NAT enabled for the first network adapter
and add set the adapter type to `virtio-net`. Make sure the size of the
configured hard disk is at least 8GB (choose a disk size that will suite your
needs ~120GB).

2. Add the [downloaded mfsBSD ISO](http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/) (any edition) 
as bootable CD device.

3. Boot.

4. Login with `root` and `mfsroot`.

5. Install FreeBSD.

zfsinstall -d /dev/ada0

8. Stop the VM.
9. Remove attached ISO
10. Boot the VM, login with `root` and execute the following commands.

dhclient vtnet0
        fetch -o - --no-verify-peer \
         https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JoergFiedler/freebsd-vagrant-base-box/master/update.sh \
         | sh | tee out.log

Note: You may use this short link instead: `http://bit.ly/1lEHtrx`.

11. Halt the VM.

### Create the Box File

1. To create the box file just run the following command line.

vagrant package --base my-virtual-machine

2. The file `package.box` can be referenced by `vm.box_url` configuration
parameter within your `Vagrantfile`.
