Vanilla Debian Base Box for Vagrant

Here is a VirtualBox image for Vagrant, the open-source software for creating and configuring virtual development environments.

This box was created using https://github.com/EmmanuelKasper/vagrant-debian-wheezy-64 and follows the Debian recommandations for official cloud images (it only installs packages from the main archive, plus puppet and ansible for Vagrant's provisionning).

The image is updated regularly to follow Debian stable minor releases.

How to use

Download the Base Box from http://basebox.libera.cc/debian-wheezy-64.box

Add it to the list of your base boxes:

vagrant box add "debian-7.4" debian-wheezy-64.box

Start a new Vagrant env using the box:

vagrant init debian-7.4
