Packer Arch is a bare bones [Packer](http://www.packer.io/) template and

### VirtualBox Provider
Assuming that you already have Packer,
[VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/), and Vagrant installed, you
should be good to clone this repo and go:
$ git clone https://github.com/elasticdog/packer-arch.git
$ cd packer-arch/
$ packer build -only=virtualbox arch-template.json
Then you can import the generated box into Vagrant:
$ vagrant box add arch packer_arch_virtualbox.box
### VMware Provider

[VMware Workstation](https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/)), and
Vagrant with the VMware provider installed, you should be good to clone

### Vagrant Provisioners
The box purposefully does not include Puppet or Chef for automatic Vagrant
provisioning. My intention was to duplicate a DigitalOcean VPS and
furthermore use the VM for testing [Ansible](http://www.ansibleworks.com/)
