# Build a VirtualBox Image with Packer in TeamCity

The Packer VirtualBox builder requires access to VirtualBox, which needs to run on a bare-metal machine as virtualization is generally not supported on cloud instances. This is also true for the [VMWare](/docs/builders/vmware.html) and the [QEMU](/docs/builders/qemu.html) Packer builders.

We will use Chef's [Bento boxes](https://github.com/chef/bento) to provision an
Ubuntu image on VirtualBox. We will use a fork of this repository as the
project we will build.
## 1. Provision a Bare-metal Machine
The Packer VirtualBox builder requires running on bare-metal (hardware). If you do not have access to a bare-metal machine, we recommend using [Packet.net](https://www.packet.net/) to obtain a new machine. If you are a first time user of Packet.net, the Packet.net team has provided HashiCorp the coupon code `hash25` which you can use for $25 off to test out this guide. You can use a `baremetal_0` for testing, but for regular use the `baremetal_1` instance may be a better option.

There is also a [Packet Provider](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/packet/index.html) in Terraform you can use to provision the project and instance.

## 2. Install VirtualBox and TeamCity dependencies
VirtualBox must be installed on the new instance, and TeamCity requires the JDK prior to installation. This guide uses Ubuntu as the Linux distribution, so you may need to adjust these commands for your distribution of choice.

The TeamCity Agent machine will also need Packer Installed. You can find the latest download link from the [Packer Download](https://www.packer.io/downloads.html) page.

## 4. Install TeamCity Agent
This guide assume you already have a running instance of TeamCity Server. The new TeamCity Agent can be installed by [downloading a zip file and installing manually](https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD10//Setting+up+and+Running+Additional+Build+Agents#SettingupandRunningAdditionalBuildAgents-InstallingAdditionalBuildAgents), or using [Agent Push](https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD10//Setting+up+and+Running+Additional+Build+Agents#SettingupandRunningAdditionalBuildAgents-InstallingviaAgentPush). Once it is installed it should appear in TeamCity as a new Agent.

This will use the `build` command in Packer to build the image defined in `./packer.json`. It assumes that `packer.json` is the Packer build configuration file in the root path of the VCS repository. Packer defaults to building VirtualBox virtual machines by launching a GUI that shows the console, since this will run in CI/CD, the the [`headless` variable](/docs/builders/virtualbox-iso.html#headless) instructs Packer to start the machine without the console. Packer can build multiple image types, so the [`-only=virtualbox-iso` option](/docs/commands/build.html#only-foo-bar-baz) instructs Packer to only build the builds with the name `virtualbox-iso`.
