ERPNext VM Builder

Steps to build a vm image

• Install VirtualBox
• Place a base.ova ubuntu base image in the current directory.
• ./packer build vm.json builds a new vm.

How it works

Packer imports the base image in a virtual machine and boots it. It runs the following

• scripts/install_ansible.sh sets up ansible on the vm.
• The ansible/vm.yml playbook sets up the dependencies, installs a bench and sets up a site. It also puts it into production.
• scripts/set_message.sh sets welcome message (with update instructions) in the vm.
• scripts/zerofree.sh writes zero to all the free space in the disk, it shrinks the disk image.
