# OEL 8 base

# Networks
config.vm.network "private_network",  ip: "192.168.56.10"

# VirtualBox provider

  vb.name   = "OEL8-Lab"
  vb.memory = 4096
  vb.cpus   = 2

# Parallels provider

# Shell provisioner

# CORRECT way to package Parallels VM as Vagrant box:

# 1. Create metadata.json (inside box)
echo "{\"provider\": \"parallels\"}" > metadata.json

# 2. Create Vagrantfile (inside box)
echo "Vagrant.configure('2') do |c|; end" > Vagrantfile

# 3. Package with .pvm folder
tar -czf myoel8.box metadata.json Vagrantfile OEL8-Base.pvm/

# 4. Create box-metadata.json (outside box, for vagrant box add)
cat > box-meta.json << EOF
{
  "name": "oraclelinux8-parallels",
  "versions": [{"version":"1.0.0","providers":[{"name":"parallels","url":"file:///path/to/myoel8.box"}]}]
}
EOF

# 5. Add to Vagrant
vagrant box add box-meta.json

# NEVER do this for Parallels:
# vagrant box add name file.box   ← fails!
