We are pleased to announce new official Vagrant images of CentOS Linux 6.8 and CentOS Linux 7.3.1611 for x86_64, featuring updated packages to 15 December 2016, as well as the following user-visible changes:
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "virtualbox"
We recommend using NFS instead of VirtualBox shared folders if possible. You can also use the vagrant-sshfs plugin, which, unlike NFS, works on all operating systems.
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
to their Vagrantfile.
Our automatic testing is running on a CentOS Linux 7 host, using Vagrant from SCL, with libvirt and VirtualBox 5.0.30 (without the VirtualBox Guest Additions) as providers. We strongly recommend using the libvirt provider when stability is required.
We also performed additional manual testing with Vagrant 1.9.0 on OS X 10.11.6, with VirtualBox 5.0.30.
The official images can be downloaded from Hashicorp’s Atlas. We provide images for libvirt-kvm, VirtualBox and VMware.
If you never used our images before:
$ vagrant box add centos/6 # for CentOS Linux 6 $ vagrant box add centos/7 # for CentOS Linux 7
Existing users can upgrade their images:
$ vagrant box update --box centos/6 $ vagrant box update --box centos/7
The SHA256 checksums of the images are signed with the CentOS 7 Official Signing Key. First, download and verify the checksum file:
$ curl http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/sha256sum.txt.asc -o sha256sum.txt.asc $ gpg --verify sha256sum.txt.asc
If the check passed, you can use the corresponding checksum when downloading the image with Vagrant:
$ vagrant box add --checksum-type sha256 --checksum 74a95be409cef813881f5312dc1221e2559cdbf25f45d5234d81e91632f99cce --provider libvirt --box-version 1610.01 centos/7
Unfortunately, this is not possible with vagrant box update
.
If you encounter any unexpected issues with the Vagrant images, feel free to ask on the centos-devel mailing list, or via IRC, in #centos on Freenode.
We would like to thank the following people (listed alphabetically):
Hey there, I have an issue with installing guest additions via vagrant-vbguest plugin. The kernel versions do not match with the machine. To make it work properly you need to vagrant up first, wait for shared folders to fail due to missing guest additions, then ssh to machine, install sudo yum install kernel* and then vagrant reload.
Could you perhaps update the kernel versions in the machine so they match with the plugin?
Thanks
Hey my friend is very good news 🙂 I think I need to thank Centos team for this. Thanks centos team
CentOS7 image download from Atlas is broken for VMWare-Fusion provider:
$ vagrant box add centos/7 --provider vmware_fusion
==> box: Loading metadata for box 'centos/7'
box: URL: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/centos/7
==> box: Adding box 'centos/7' (v1611.01) for provider: vmware_fusion
box: Downloading: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/centos/boxes/7/versions/1611.01/providers/vmware_fusion.box
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.
The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Trying to curl that URL, we see that vagrant is trying to download an image from http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-6-x86_64-Vagrant-1611_01.VMwareFusion.box which is, indeed, a malformed address (note CentOS-6-... there)

Hi,
I encountered a problem while trying to ssh from my host (ssh vagrant@192.168.42.42), the connection timed out.
I finally figure out that file "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1" has incorrect rights (600 | vagrant:vagrant).
I change the rights as follows and restart network service to fix the issue.
sudo chown root:root /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
sudo chmod 644 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
sudo systemctl network restart
I run a virtualbox 5.1.12-112440 on a Mac OS X 10.10.5
Do you ever know the existence of this issue and otherwise how could it be fixed ?
Regards
I'm getting multiple curl: (6) Could not resolve host errors when yum install is executed in this vagrant box. Mirrors are totally available.
The issues that I experience occurs during installation of guest additions with vagrant-vbguest plugin and later on when I try to install packages with yum install. Emailing to centos-devel resulted in no response
Thanks for your work! Any chance you'd be willing to replace the smartquotes with normal double or single quotes in your first two code examples?
(Of course I was able to fix it and use the code, but for the benefit of others)
When attempting to add the vmware workstation box using the command:
vagrant box add centos/7 --provider vmware_workstation
once the box has downloaded, vagrant reports:
The box you attempted to add doesn't match the provider you specified.
Provider expected: vmware_workstation
Provider of box: vmware_fusion
My computer is ASUS N551VW6700. It has Core i7 CPU, 16 GiB RAM, 1 TiB Hard Drive, and two graphic cards. One is Intel HD Graphics 530 with 128 MiB video memory, the other is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 4 GiB video memory. When I install CentOS 7.3.1611 on my computer, it can't get into the GUI interface and my computer complain:
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup -CPU#5 stuck for 22s![Xorg:1375]
And this sentence is shown in the way of continuous loop.
Is there any way to solve my problem?
As many people reported, synced folder does NOT work for centOs7:
[isc-build] GuestAdditions 5.0.32 running --- OK.
==> isc-build: Checking for guest additions in VM...
==> isc-build: Setting hostname...
==> isc-build: Configuring and enabling network interfaces...
==> isc-build: Rsyncing folder: /cygdrive/d/Projects/SmartHUB/shub/trunk/deployment-docker/ => /vagrant
==> isc-build: Mounting shared folders...
isc-build: /tmp/vagrant-cache => C:/Users/zhonglun/.vagrant.d/cache/centos/7
I have other box in the same place, from my vagrant file:
config.vm.define "isc-build" do |node|
node.vm.box = "centos/7"
node.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
vb.memory = 2048
vb.cpus = 1
end
node.vm.hostname = "isc-ansible"
node.vm.network "private_network", ip: "30.30.30.60"
# node.vm.provision :shell, path: "env_isc_build/bootstrap.sh", privileged: true
end
config.vm.define "smarthub-ansible" do |node|
node.vm.box = "elastic/sles-12-x86_64"
node.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
vb.memory = 1024
vb.cpus = 1
end
node.vm.hostname = "smarthub-ansible"
node.vm.network "private_network", ip: "30.30.30.10"
privileged: true
end
ubuntu & suse box have no such problem.
