About vagrantBaseBoxes Data (packer base box specifications)

bisos.vagrantBaseBoxes is data driven. By itself it is useless. It operates on well structured directories which contain packer base box specifications.

In BISOS, the packer base box specifications are in the form of a BISOS Repo Object (BRO). The github url for the BRO is:

https://github.com/bxObjects/bro_vagrantDebianBaseBoxes

In BISOS, the defaults are:

cd /bisos/git/bxRepos/bxObjects
git clone https://github.com/bxObjects/bro_vagrantDebianBaseBoxes.git

You can clone that repo anywhere and then just adjust the command line path to it.

Part of BISOS — ByStar Internet Services Operating System

Layered on top of Debian, BISOS: (By* Internet Services Operating System) is a unified and universal framework for developing both internet services and software-service continuums that use internet services. See Bootstrapping ByStar, BISOS and Blee for information about getting started with BISOS.

BISOS is a foundation for The Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem which is described as a cure for losses of autonomy and privacy in a book titled: Nature of Polyexistentials
