Thanks for your interest for the vagrant boxes. Creating a different box for a single debian package is overkill IMHO, so for your use case, I suggest to add via apt-get puppet to a running instance of the box, then its only a single command (vagrant repackage) and you can distribute it via http or a shared file system ( the boxes don't need to be on the vagrant cloud)

It isn't indeed. Now the uncensored version: |It feels wrong to put specific orchestartion components in all images |when one knowns there is a generic component (cloudinit) that solves |the problem. Sadly is cloudinit poorly documented. |So now to choose from two problems. |My choice would be going for understanding "cloudinit" Good luck with your approach.

According to the documentation[0] the boxes are generated using a Packer template, and cloudinit is mentioned nowhere on that wiki page.

I also don't understand how cloudinit works. There is https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ But it lacks what it makes it tick. Nowhere is documented * how it starts (what triggers the start) * how "client" finds "server" * why "client" trusts "server" Groeten Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven
Bug#940587: cloud.debian.org: additional Vagrant boxes with puppet/ansible pre-installed?
Package: cloud.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi there, I've been holding back on using the debian/* boxes with vagrant mostly since there's no puppet pre-installed in the boxes. I know that, as documented in the wiki, I can install puppet with a shell provisioner, but doing that on every boot makes things very much slower. I could also start from the vanilla box, install puppet and then repackage into a new box locally, but the point of using a public box is so that other contributers can start with exactly the same environment. I'm also aware that pre-installing those would make the images much bigger, and I can see the point of having a very tiny completely vanilla debian image. I was wondering if folks maintaining the vagrant boxes would be willing to publish additional images that would have puppet/ansible pre-installed with the debian packages from each release's package repository? cheers! -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_CA.utf8), LANGUAGE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_CA.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
