Download a virtualbox image directly from vagrant
Raw
download_vagrant_direct.txt
Problem:
I need to download a Virtualbox imaage using vagrant.
The image is very large (around 5 GB)
However, my internet connection is slow and flaky and I need to be able to resume in case of a break
Solution:
1. Install a download manager like https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/
2. Open "Vagrantfile" and locate the config.vm.box param - in my case, it's:
config.vm.box = "aalkilani/spark-kafka-cassandra-applying-lambda-architecture"
This is a path to a vagrant "box" spark-kafka-cassandra-applying-lambda-architecture created by the user "aalkilani"
3. Go to https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search and search for the value of config.vm.box
4. Look for the version you need to download (for myself, it was the latest i.e. 0.0.6)
5. Based on this info, following is the direct path to the download
https://atlas.hashicorp.com/aalkilani/boxes/spark-kafka-cassandra-applying-lambda-architecture/versions/0.0.6/providers/virtualbox.box
or generic format:
https://atlas.hashicorp.com/<user>/boxes/<box_name>/versions/<version_number>/providers/virtualbox.box
6. This time, pecify the file path on disk when you up vagrant
