Associate a Vagrant project directory with an existing VirtualBox VM

gistfile1.md

1. Run the following command and copy the ID of your VM

VBoxManage list vms
=> "virtualMachine" {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}

2. Go to the Vagrant project configuration folder

cd .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox

3. Create a file called id without a newline but the ID of your VM xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

echo -n 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' > id

4. In the directory where your Vagrantfile of the associated VM is located, run Vagrant with new config

vagrant up

how to config ssh after associate vm?

In the Vagrantfile put the username and password (only required once), like so:

config.ssh.username = 'vagrant'
config.ssh.password = 'vagrant'

How can I export my box as-is with the HD and everything and restore in another machine? I´ve tried doing this with vagrant package, however, when I do vagrant add box and vagrant up my VM starts from the scratch. What can I be doing wrong?

thank you so much!
