• A specific BaseBox must exist in Vagrant (comparable to templates in vSphere or qcow2 images in OpenStack)
  • Steps how to create this BaseBox are missing

Initial VirtualBox Setup

1. cd /path/to/some/folder/
2. wget http://tsdbbench.allweathercomputing.com/bin/debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst-vsphere-autoinstall.box
3. Import the new Box with Vagrant: vagrant box add tsdbbench-debian debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst-virtualbox-autoinstall.box

Creating Your Own Images (Generator/Database)

• If you want to create your own images, do the following (example on Debian Jessie):
  1. Install VirtualBox, e.g. see https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox for Debian Jessie
  2. cd /path/to/another/folder/
  3. wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.8.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso
  4. cd /path/to/some/folder/
  5. git clone https://github.com/TSDBBench/Overlord
  6. cd Overlord
  7. ./MakeDebianIso.py -t /path/to/tmpfolder -i /path/to/another/folder/debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso -f /path/to/outputfolder/ -p preseed-virtualbox.cfg
  8. ./MakeDebianVB.py -i debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst-virtualbox-autoinstall.iso -f /path/to/outputfolder/
  9. Import the new Box with Vagrant: vagrant box add tsdbbench-debian /path/to/outputfolder/debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst-virtualbox-autoinstall.box
