Why Vagrant

• Hashicorp puts it the best

Why not Vagrant Boxes instead of Scripts?

• Vagrant Box Images are ready made images with Dependencies installed.
  • Unlikely for a user to find every single dependency
  • Maintenance of local installations becomes a chore
  • Managing Images and pushing upgrades on base images isn't for everyone
• Repo contains Vagrant Boxes with a balance of generic and specific
  • Building from scratch is the best(That's how I came around building these) but having a working reference just saves time.
  • Modifications are easy to bring up again and again
    • Trusty vagrant up to the rescue after modifications
    • For instance vim in all the boxes in this repo si supplmented by a custom .vimrc that makes life a lot easier
