# Customize the amount of memory on the VM: # Hide the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine In VirtualBox, this is a Host-Only networkĬonfig.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10" # -*- mode: ruby -*-Ĭonfig.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080 Let’s see what more we can do with just a little configuration. This is a good practice, as it would allow you to quickly reset your Vagrant machine and never lose data. This directory allows you to keep data saved on the host, but easily accessible by the guest. In addition, Vagrant will create a shared folder by default: the current directory on the host (the one containing the Vagrantfile) is available in the /vagrant directory of the guest. The VM comes with a NAT interface pre-configured, so you don’t need to edit the configuration to have Internet access from inside the VM.
This user has password-less sudo configured with the password vagrant, as per Vagrant conventions.
Kali GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent Individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright. The exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
The programs included with the Kali GNU/Linux system are free software If you do not need the GUI, you can disable it in the Vagrantfile (see below for an example config) and run the following command to SSH to the machine as the vagrant user. We have decided to show the GUI by default because many Kali tools require it. Vagrant veterans might notice that the VM is not headless, unlike most other Vagrant boxes. You will see the VirtualBox UI pop up so you can use Kali normally with the root/toor credentials.
Vagrant will first download the box file if it’s not in its cache, then create the Kali VM and power it on. => default: Checking for guest additions in VM.ĭefault: /vagrant => /Users/woodbine/vagrant-boxes/kali => default: Adding box 'kalilinux/rolling' (v2018.3.1) for provider: virtualbox => default: Loading metadata for box 'kalilinux/rolling' => default: Box 'kalilinux/rolling' could not be found. Then run this command: $ vagrant upīringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider.
The vagrant “box” (you can think of it as a template) uses around 4GB, and the spun up VM will take around 10GB or more depending on what you install inside. Next, make sure you have enough disk space. # config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080 # NOTE: This will enable public access to the opened port # accessing "localhost:8080" will access port 80 on the guest machine. # within the machine from a port on the host machine. # Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port # Every Vagrant development environment requires a box. # For a complete reference, please see the online documentation at # The most common configuration options are documented and commented below. Please don't change it unless you know what # configures the configuration version (we support older styles for # All Vagrant configuration is done below. We’ll review some of those later, but here is an excerpt. By default, it contains only the box name as well as many commented common options. Every ‘vagrant’ command must be run from the directory containing that file.
This will create a file named Vagrantfile, which contains all the configuration options for the virtual machine.

Please read Then create an empty directory and from there run the following command: $ vagrant init kalilinux/rollingĪ `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. To get started, first install Vagrant and VirtualBox. Even more importantly, all of this is contained in a configuration file, which is very easy to share compared to a virtual machine that spans many gigabytes. Put simply, with a single configuration file, you can download a base “box” and apply additional configurations like adding an additional network interface, setting the number of CPU cores and memory, or running a script on first boot. Vagrant is a tool for building and managing virtual machine environments in a single workflow. Starting now, you can find an officially maintained Kali Linux image in the Vagrant Cloud. Inspired by a recent community blog post, we have decided to add a new official way for our community to use Kali.
