About a year ago we released Vagrant images that quickly became extremely popular, with over 1M downloads. While working on enabling VMware and Virtualbox, it became apparent that we run a real risk of having a dozen downloads if we are not careful. What I would like to propose is that we have the standard "core", "cloud", and a "developer" image. The idea behind the developer image is that we would put all the stuff that makes development easy and target the "non-production" environments. My initial proposed requirements are: <ul> <li>SSH enabled by default</li> <li>Vagrant user defined</li> <ul> <li>/home/vagrant exists</li> <li>password is locked</li> <li>defined a sudoer </li> </ul> <li>Packages installed:</li> <ul> <li>open-vm-tools</li> <li>virtualbox-dkms modules pre-built </li> <li>virtualbox-guest-utils</li> <li>ssh-import-id</li> </ul> </ul> Thoughts?
