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 30 March 2017 and the following 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 1.8.1 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 1.9.3 on OS X 10.11.6, with VirtualBox 5.1.18.
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 82bbed14c34fdd8fd3cb617b0e8c0f154ebd4d1388f45de3335b2cdf791e5fed --provider libvirt --box-version 1703.01 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 Fabian Arrotin and Thomas Oulevey for their work on the build infrastructure.
We would also like to thank the following people (listed alphabetically):
Would be great if there were official CentOS vagrant images for KVM.
Is `rsync__auto` meant to work or not? I've never gotten it to yet.
Is it possible to include a Hyper-V Provider for CentOs Vagrant in the future for us Windows Folks? Unable to have both Hyper-V & Virtual box installed on the same host and Docker for Windows is natively Hyper-V nowadays.
thanks,synced_folder with vagrant-vbguest is work on VirtualBox 5.1.18, not work in VirtualBox 5.1.20,host os windows7
autorelabel doesn't work on VirtualBox. I opened a bug at https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=13213 and you can find a demo Vagrantfile at https://gist.github.com/schlomo/b532ba9bca87ea40d922d90e62b7338c
