CentOS 7 Developer Workstation with MATE Desktop

v7.7.20191026

CentOS 7 workstation with MATE 1.20 desktop, VirtualBox 6.0.14 guest additions, development tools, Google chrome, Firefox, Thunderbird, Docker, Go 1.13.3, Java (OpenJDK), Python 3.6, Node.js 12.13.0, Rust 1.38.0, freetype-freeworld installed for improved font rendering (Nux repo), kubectl, minikube, and CentOS updates as of October 26, 2019.

Building the mate box

Building the box file requires some manual preparation:

  • The mate.ks kickstart file should be copied to webserver accessible by the virtual machine

  • The URL specified in the mate.ks file should be modified to refer to the webserver containing a copy of the CentOS DVD

How to use the mate box

The box file has been uploaded to the Hashicorp Vagrant Cloud. The following shows an example usage of this box:

$ vagrant init gbailey/mate
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.

To use the Mate desktop, modify the Vagrantfile to enable the VirtualBox graphical user interface:

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    # Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
    vb.gui = true

    # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
    vb.memory = "2048"
  end

$ vagrant up
