vagrant box add smartos http://cuddletech.com/tmp/smartos-latest.box
mkdir smartos && cd smartos
vagrant init smartos
vagrant up

vagrant ssh

Things to note:

• There is no sudo in SmartOS; use "pfexec" instead. (I may alias to sudo in the future for compatibility)
• The sendmail service slows down service startup... give it a minute and it'll get out of the way
• Password for vagrant and root users is "vagrant"

nice! i think the next step will be to write a vagrant plugin that allows us to ssh to a default zone, rather than the global zone.

Nice one benr. Check the scripts here out to see how I have integrated vbox/vmware tools with smartos: http://dlc-int.openindiana.org/aszeszo/vagrant/scripts/

bixu, check the boxes here out: http://dlc-int.openindiana.org/aszeszo/vagrant/ They focus on the actual zones and GZ is made to be transparent. shared dirs are passed to the non-GZ as well. Sorry for not making the boxes more public.

Nice, aszeszo, you're much further along than I and those are what many users are really looking for.

@aszeszo, @benr, this is great. at wanelo we want to look into letting veewee automate the process of making new smartos boxes

Question from smartos noobie that have not touched vagrant for long time: when I add smartos box (either created by @aszeszo (smartos163) or @benr), all I get is an error 'Failed to untar the box file' and bunch of utter gibberish in ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/smartos directory. Tried on 2 different hosts (mac os x and ubuntu), same result. Added ubuntu box at the same time with great results. What am I doing wrong?

^--- what @olex said. @aszezo do you have those scripts in version control somewhere so that we can clone/contribute?

@olek - fwiw, a common pitfall with vagrant is using the one from rubygems rather than vagrant downloaded from http://downloads.vagrantup.com/. I was able to successfully import @aszeso's base191-64 box, although I'm still unable to get it to respond to SSH.

Is this the right place to watch? https://github.com/jacobgroundwater/vagrant-smartos

I've automated the process of making new SmartOS vboxes ("Vagrant SmartMachines" as well) using vbkick (https://github.com/wilas/vbkick) and @aszeszo script. Template is available here: https://github.com/wilas/vbkick-template-smartos
Note: It support booting SmartOS from USB or ISO.
