About

Quick Vagrant + VirtualBox way to create a (relatively) beefed up (8gb, 4 CPUs) Ubuntu 17.10 x64 Server with latest Docker CE.

Notes

If you're pulling this repo down to a Windows box, make sure to unset autocrlf first:

git config --global core.autocrlf false

Since this defaults with 8gb, and 4 CPUs, if you want something different, change the following in Vagrantfile:

    vb.memory = "8192"
    vb.cpus = "4"

The vdev/ubuntu-17.10-server-amd64 Vagrant box was created from a modified 1704-desktop Packer template from boxcutter: https://github.com/boxcutter/ubuntu/blob/master/ubuntu1704-desktop.json

Post Setup

Some things you may want to do on your own...

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends

Note: If you install a GUI and would like to use it, then make sure to set vb.gui to true in the Vagrantfile.
