Vagrant-based development environment using Ubuntu, with GUI (i.e., not headless). The Xfce Desktop Environment is used instead of the default Unity for performance reasons.
The Vagrant base box is the official Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) 64-bit box available from Hashicorp Atlas.
Prerequisites:
- VirtualBox. This has been tested with version 5.0.40
- Vagrant. This has been tested using version 2.0.0
Clone this repository, then from the repository folder run this command:
vagrant up
# login on VM
vagrant ssh
# change ubuntu user password
sudo passwd ubuntu
exit
vagrant reload
- Add your local customisation to
provision/local.sh. - The Vagrantfile copies your private key to the VM so you can access Github et al. via SSH. It assumes the private key file can be found in
~/.ssh/id_rsaon the host machine. - You can also SSH to the VM as user
ubuntu, usingvagrant ssh - This dev box use
gcc 4.9 - It uses Powerline fonts, Terminator,
zsh
Some configuration files are provided with this package:

dotfiles/bashrc) - zsh configuration file (
