 Quick workflow is such:
-  - you register base box with ''vagrant box add''
+  - install [[package>vagrant]] package: ''poldek -u vagrant''
-  - you create ''Vagrantfile'' with ''vagrant init BASEBOXNAME''
+  - add your user to ''vbox'' group
-  - you bring up VM defined in ''Vagrantfile'' with ''vagrant up''
+  - register base box with ''vagrant box add''
-  - you log in to VM with ''vagrant ssh''
+  - create ''Vagrantfile'' with ''vagrant init BASEBOXNAME''
+  - bring up VM defined in ''Vagrantfile'' with ''vagrant up''
+  - log in to VM with ''vagrant ssh''
 The commands are run in dir where is ''Vagrantfile''.

 Base box you need to import only once, you can make new VM's without need to import base box again.
-To start using vagrant you need to install [[package>vagrant]] package.

+===== What next? =====
+After box is up, you probably want to provision it or install packages with ''poldek'' directly.
+Also quite common is to [[people/glen/vm-info#grow_a_disk|grow a disk]]
+==== Chef ====
+To install ''chef-solo'' do ''poldek -u chef'', if you want to run chef server inside that box, have look at [[chef-server]].
+If you are using ''chef-client'', it's recommended to install [[https://github.com/cassianoleal/vagrant-butcher|vagrant-butcher]] plugin to automatically delete node when destroying VM:

 <code>
-$ vagrant box add pld32 ftp://ftp.pld-linux.org/people/glen/vm/pld32.box
+$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-butcher
-$ vagrant init pld32
-$ vagrant up
-$ vagrant ssh
 </code>

+If using older Vagrant (< 1.5), you need older butcher plugin:
 <code>
-$ vagrant box add pld64 ftp://ftp.pld-linux.org/people/glen/vm/pld64.box
+$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-butcher --plugin-version=2.0.0

+==== MATE Desktop ====
+I ([[people:glen]]) needed to give someone VM image containing desktop application, as a result there's [[https://gist.github.com/glensc/9948541|PLD Linux with MATE Desktop]] ''Vagrantfile'' which you can use to create same image from scratch.
