### Building an own image

We could have build our own image.
First creating an image using packer with <https://github.com/rmoesbergen/packer-linuxmint>.
Then, building a `Vagrantfile` on top of it.
Seemed to be too much issues for the users.

1. Install packer
2. `packer plugins install github.com/hashicorp/virtualbox`
3. `packer plugins install github.com/hashicorp/vagrant`
4. `packer build -var-file=mint-cinnamon-22.json core_template.json`
