Box.py is a simple automation tool meant to run Ubuntu cloud image on top of VirtualBox.

What it does is simply download official cloud image for Ubuntu server, set up VM, tweak it up and do the initial pre-configuration using generated config drive.

Perhaps other distros would be supported int the future.

Requirements

• Python 3.x

• Virtualbox (obviously)

• mkisofs or genisoimage command for generating iso image

• wget command for fetching images

• sha256sum command for checksum check

• qemu-img from qemu-utils package command for converting between images formats
