如何从现有的Windows iso映像创建一个Windows vagrant box

Question

我有windows 7的ISO映像。如何使用此iso映像创建Windows vagrant box。

I tried "vagrant box add name fileLocation of iso". But box wasn't created. 

Answer 1

Vagrant works with box not OS ISO

You can read more on box at https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/boxes.html but basically Boxes are the package format for Vagrant environments. A box can be used by anyone on any platform that Vagrant supports to bring up an identical working environment.

The easiest to start with is to download an existing box ( .box file) both https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search and http://www.vagrantbox.es are good resources to find a box that should match your need.

If really you want to start with the ISO and build your own box ( this is more advanced topic , I would only recommend for specific usage), you would need to look at the packer tool ( https://www.packer.io ) and getting existing templates for your target OS (like https://github.com/joefitzgerald/packer-windows for windows box)
