Bento is a project that encapsulates Packer templates for building Vagrant baseboxes. We use these boxes internally at Opscode for testing Hosted Chef, Private Chef and our open source cookbooks
These basebox templates were converted from VeeWee definitions originally based on work done by Tim Dysinger to make "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) modular baseboxes. Thanks Tim!
The following baseboxes are publicly available and were built using this project. Note that our baseboxes no longer include Chef Client. Vagrant can be instructed to install Chef at runtime using the vagrant-omnibus plugin.
64-bit boxes:
- opscode-centos-5.9
- opscode-centos-6.4
- opscode-debian-7.1.0
- opscode-fedora-18
- opscode-fedora-19
- opscode-ubuntu-10.04
- opscode-ubuntu-12.04
- opscode-ubuntu-13.04
32-bit boxes:
- opscode-centos-5.9-i386
- opscode-centos-6.4-i386
- opscode-debian-7.1.0-i386
- opscode-ubuntu-10.04-i386
- opscode-ubuntu-12.04-i386
Older baseboxes include Chef.
The following base boxes were built with Chef 11.4.4.

The following base boxes were built with Chef 11.4.0.
64-bit boxes:

The following base boxes were built with Chef 11.2.0. (No 32-bit boxes were built for Chef 11.2.0.)
The following base boxes were built with Chef 10.18.2.

- opscode-ubuntu-12.04
The following base boxes were built with Chef 10.14.4.
- opscode-centos-5.8-i386
- opscode-centos-5.8
- opscode-centos-6.3-i386
- opscode-centos-6.3
- opscode-ubuntu-10.04
- opscode-ubuntu-10.04-i386
- opscode-ubuntu-12.04
- opscode-ubuntu-12.04-i386
First, install Packer and then clone this project.
Inside the packer directory, a JSON file describes each box that can be built. You can use packer build to build the
boxes.
$ packer build debian-7.1.0-i386.json
If you only have VMware or VirtualBox available, you may also tell Packer to build only that box.
$ packer build -only=virtualbox debian-7.1.0-i386.json
Congratulations! You now have ./debian-7.1.0-i386-virtualbox.box and ./debian-7.1.0-i386-vmware.box, fully-functional
baseboxes that you can then add to Vagrant and start testing cookbooks.
The legacy veewee definitions are still in the "definitions" directory. These are unsupported and will be removed in the future.
Packer does not yet support Windows, so the veewee definitions are still used for building those boxes. You must build these boxes yourself due to licensing constraints.
