Vagrant "box"与 "base box"，有区别吗？

Question

Vagrant 文档和 CLI 使用术语“box”和“base box”。命名意味着基本框是一种特定类型的框，但是，这些术语似乎被用作同义词。 Vagrant“盒子”和 Vagrant“基础盒子”之间有区别吗？

Answer 1

这是根据 https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/boxes/base.html 的基本盒的描述:

There are a special category of boxes known as "base boxes." These boxes contain the bare minimum required for Vagrant to function, are generally not made by repackaging an existing Vagrant environment (hence the "base" in the "base box").

For example, the Ubuntu boxes provided by the Vagrant project (such as "precise64") are base boxes. They were created from a minimal Ubuntu install from an ISO, rather than repackaging an existing environment.

因此，虽然“基础盒子”仍然是一个“盒子”，但它只是一个更准确的术语，明确强调安装了最少软件集的某些初始操作系统状态。
