Vagrant

We provide Vagrant base boxes that are based on Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04, 64-bit. These boxes are specifically customized to work well with Docker. Please learn more at the website

We are proud to release version 2014-02-22 of our Docker-friendly Vagrant base boxes. This release contains major changes:

  • There are now base boxes available based on Ubuntu 14.04. See the README for details.
  • Upgraded VMWare Tools to 9.6.2-1688356 (from VMWare Fusion 6.0.3). This is a major improvement over the VMWare Tools included in the last release (9.6.0-1294478, from VMWare Fusion 6.0.1):
    • Fixes the file corruption bug in VMWare Tools 9.6.1-1378637 (from VMWare Fusion 6.0.2).
    • Fixes compatibility with kernel 3.13.
    • Fixes a number of bugs that could cause the kernel to crash.

    If you experienced any crashing/freezing problems with our VMWare Fusion boxes before, then this upgrade will probably help.
