Neap Box

A Vagrant box for Neap development.

Read me first

This project aims to give you the necessary tools to build yourself the Neap Box.
Note: If you only intend to use the Neap Box, you will never have to build it yourself! Instead, get it from:

• GitHub releases
• Atlas by HashiCorp

About

Version: 1.2.11
Web: Coming later, box.neap.io
Project Owner: Michaël "e7d" Ferrand

Prerequisites

In order to build the Neap Box effectively, you'll need to have a few tools installed:

1. Install Git
2. Install VirtualBox
3. Install Vagrant

Windows-specific

1. Add the Git binaries to your path

Recommended

1. Use a development workstation with at least 2 cores and 8GB of RAM, as Vagrant should be allocated 1GB of RAM
2. Install Vagrant::VBGuest, to manage the host's VirtualBox Guest Additions on the guest system
   vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

Build

1. git clone https://github.com/e7d/neap-box.git to clone the latest version
2. Change into the directory neap-box
3. Run vagrant up
4. Run vagrant package --output neap.box

Note: Steps 3. and 4. can be replaced with a call to build.sh on bash available environments.

What you get

After the build process is done, you have a file named neap.box that can be imported in Vagrant or VirtualBox.

Software stack

Neap box uses Vagrant's shell provisioner over a large collection of scripts to kick things off.
