Vagrant, Virtualbox and OpenBSD 5.3

1. Create instance in VirtualBox
   1. Download 5.3 ISO.
   2. Open it as the CD when Virtualbox starts.
   3. Configure VM: network adapter = NAT, no audio.
   4. Install OpenBSD.
2. Setup OS for vagrant:
   1. Set hostname to vagrant

      # cat vagrant > /etc/myname
      # hostname vagrant
      

   2. Use DHCP

      # echo dhcp > /etc/hostname.em0
      # rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
      

   3. Install bash, as vagrant assumes this is the shell.

      # pkg_add bash
      

   4. Install python for provisioning with ansible.

      # pkg_add python
      Ambiguous: choose package for python
       a       0: <None>
               1: python-2.5.4p18
               2: python-2.7.3p1
               3: python-3.2.3.p0
      Your choice: 2
      ...
      

   5. Add vagrant user and put in wheel group.

      # adduser vagrant  
      shell = bash
      group = vagrant
      password = vagrant
      ...
      # usermod -G wheel vagrant
      

   6. Let users in wheel group sudo without a password.

      # visudo
      [uncomment the line:]
      %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SETENV: ALL
      

   7. Get vagrant SSH keys

      # export h=http://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/raw/master
      # ftp $h/keys/vagrant -o vagrant
      # ftp $h/keys/vagrant.pub -o vagrant.pub
      # cp vagrant ~vagrant/.ssh
      # cp vagrant.put ~vagrant/.ssh/authorized_keys
      # chmod 0700 ~vagrant/.ssh
      # chmod 0640 ~vagrant/.ssh/authorized_keys
      # chmod 0640 ~vagrant/.ssh/vagrant
      

   8. Vagrant uses port 2222.

      # sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
      [uncomment Port 22 line and add Port 2222 line after that.]
      

3. Package up the virtual box.
   1. Use a standard name for the box.

      - Open VirtualBox.
      - Settings --> General --> Basic
      - Set name to vagrant_openbsd_5.3
      

   2. Export box.

      $ cd ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/vagrant_openbsd_5.3
      $ rm -f package.box
      $ vagrant package --base vagrant_openbsd_5.3
      [vagrant_openbsd_5.3] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
      [vagrant_openbsd_5.3] Creating temporary directory for export...
      [vagrant_openbsd_5.3] Exporting VM...
      [vagrant_openbsd_5.3] Compressing package to: /Users/mark/VirtualBox VMs/vagrant_openbsd_5.3/package.box
      $
      

4. Install the box into vagrant.

   $ vagrant box remove vagrant_openbsd_5.3 virtualbox
   $ vagrant box add vagrant_openbsd_5.3 package.box
   Downloading or copying the box...
   Extracting box...te: 439M/s, Estimated time remaining: --:--:--)
   Successfully added box 'vagrant_openbsd_5.3' with provider 'virtualbox'!
   $ vagrant box list
   openbsd             (virtualbox)
   vagrant_openbsd_5.3 (virtualbox)
   $
   

5. Install vagrant-guests-openbsd. It's actively developed: Vagrant 1.2.7 was released on July 27, 2013 and the vagrant-guests-openbsd plugin was updated on August 3, 2013.

   $vagrant plugin install vagrant-guests-openbsd
   

6. Setup Vagrantfile. Using , as it provides better than what comes with Vagrant.

   # -*- mode: ruby -*-
   # vi: set ft=ruby :
   
   VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
   
   Vagrant.require_plugin "vagrant-guests-openbsd"
   
   Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
   
     # Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of.
     config.vm.box = "vagrant_openbsd_5.3"
   
     # 
     config.vm.guest = :openbsd_v2
     
     config.vm.synced_folder "../", "/vagrant", :disabled => true
     #config.vm.synced_folder "../", "/vagrant", :nfs => true
   
     config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.67.10", netmask: "255.255.255.0"
   
     # Uncomment to debug.
     #config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
     #  v.gui = true
     #end
   
   end
   

7. Use it.
