In early 2017 I kicked off an effort to start using Linux as my primary desktop OS, and I blogged about the journey. I restarted the migration in April 2018 (when I left VMware to join Heptio), and since that time I’ve been using Linux ( Fedora , specifically) full-time. Final Linux Distro Selection.

I recently had a need to revisit the use of Cumulus VX (the Cumulus Networks virtual appliance running Cumulus Linux) in a Vagrant environment, and I wanted to be sure to test what I was doing on multiple virtualization platforms. Unfortunately, there’s a simple error in the VMware-formatted box that prevents it from working.

In this post, I’m going to walk you through the process I used to build a Vagrant box for Cumulus VX that will work with VMware desktop hypervisors (like VMware Fusion or VMware Workstation ). If you’re not familiar with Cumulus VX, it’s a virtual appliance version of Cumulus Linux. This will create a “native” VMware VM.
