mikrotik-vagrant-box

This is a Vagrantfile and documentation for ktogias/mikrotik MikroTik RouterOS Vagrant Box (https://app.vagrantup.com/ktogias/boxes/mikrotik).

The box and Vagrantfile currently only support libvirt provider.

Background

The box was created on a Fedora 39 machine with libvirt, virt-manager, vagrant and vagrant-libvirt installed.

I downloaded the RouterOS 7.13 x86 iso from https://mikrotik.com/download and created a new vm with virt-manager with installation from the downloaded iso. I checked "Customize configuration before install" and changed disk bus to "SATA". RouterOS will not install on a VirtIO disk.

After installation I run the commands in setup.sh script:

ip dhcp-client add interface=ether1 disabled=no
tool fetch url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ktogias/mikrotik-vagrant-box/master/setup.sh" mode=https dst-path="setup.sh"
system script add name=setup source=[/file get setup.sh contents];
system script run setup

and shut down the vm with system shutdown.

Then I used create_box.sh script to create the box.

Usage

1. Install vagrant and vagrant-libvirt
2. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/ktogias/mikrotik-vagrant-box.git
3. cd mikrotik-vagrant-box
4. vagrant up to start the RouterOS vm
5. vagrant ssh to ssh into the RouterOS vm
6. vargrant destroy to stop and remove the RouterOS vm
