vagrant centos7.2 Vagrantfile


I try to setup a vagrant with a CentOS7.2.

I've found this on Atlas: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/brightcove/boxes/centos7.2 But when I set on my VagrantFile with

config.vm.box = "brightcove/centos7.2"

and

config.vm.box_url = "https://atlas.hashicorp.com/brightcove/boxes/centos7.2"

I get this error:

vagrant_centos$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'brightcove/centos7.2' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...

An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.

Couldn't resolve host 'xivagrantbox.vidmark.local'
vagrant_centos$  

Solution

  • It seems like the box is not correctly hosted anywhere. on the atlas page, there's a warning mentioning

    Atlas failed to verify the existence of this external box. It may have been moved and is no longer available.

    and if you try to go to the download page, it tries to redirect you to the xivagrantbox.vidmark.local site which obviously does not exist

    $ curl https://atlas.hashicorp.com/brightcove/boxes/centos7.2/versions/1.0.14/providers/virtualbox.box 
    <html><body>You are being <a href="http://xivagrantbox.vidmark.local/vagrant-boxes/bc-ops-base-centos-7.2.1511.box">redirected</a>.</body></html>
    

    how to move from there:

    1. You might want to contact the provider of this box so he can fix the link
    2. You can search for another box
    3. You can build the box yourself using tool like packer, https://github.com/boxcutter/centos has template for centos7.2
