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 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!
