Hi, I want to be able to add my boxes as releases in my *private* github repo and for my collegues to be able to use them by publishing a box catalog.json file at http://username.github.io/project-name/catalog.json. Is there a way to add the header type and user/password to the box url used by 'vagrant box add'?
I can see how I would get the release asset's binary content: curl -u username "https://api.github.com/repos/username/project/releases/assets/229997"; -H "Accept: application/octet-stream" -o test.box ...but if you don't specify the header media type, github will give you a metadata json file like: { "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/username/project/releases/assets/229997";, "id": 229997, "name": "test.box", "label": null, "uploader": { "login": "username", ... }, "content_type": "application/octet-stream", "state": "uploaded", "size": 328396052, "download_count": 10, "created_at": "2014-09-05T17:11:10Z", "updated_at": "2014-09-05T17:11:26Z", "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/username/project/releases/download/v0.1.0/test.box"; } I can verify that it is indeed a viable box: $ vagrant init testcentos test.box A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on `vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant. $ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Importing base box 'testcentos'... ==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking... ==> default: Setting the name of the VM: testvagrant_default_1409945305243_99663 ==> default: Fixed port collision for 22 => 2222.

The error message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try again. The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found I can add my username password to the url -- not something I want to do if I share this with my collegues -- but the type is still wrong: ... #same as before box: The box failed to unpackage properly. Please verify that the box file you're trying to add is not corrupted and try again. The output from attempting to unpackage (if any): bsdtar.EXE: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format Any suggestions would be most appreciated! Has anyone else tried to setup a sort-of private VagrantCloud? Thanks, Tricia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Vagrant" group.
