This application extends the vagrant command line tool to allow for searching the vagrantbox.es repository of base boxes.

• List all currently available boxes:

  vagrant vagrantboxes search

• Do simple text searches:

  vagrant vagrantboxes search centos 

• Do slightly more complex text searches:

  vagrant vagrantboxes search "debian puppet" 

• Show all the details of a particular box:

  vagrant vagrantboxes show 1

• Show only the url of a particular box:

  vagrant vagrantboxes url 1

• Download a box listed on vagrantbox.es:

  vagrant vagrantboxes add 1

Here's a simple example of the output:

vagrant vagrantboxes search centos
3    centos 5.5                http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15307300/vagrant-0.7-centos-64-base.box
6    opscode centos 5          http://opscode-vagrant-boxes.s3.amazonaws.com/centos5-gems.box
7    opscode ubuntu 10.04      http://opscode-vagrant-boxes.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu10.04-gems.box
9    puppet centos 5.5 64      http://puppetlabs.s3.amazonaws.com/pub/centos5_64.box
10   puppet centos 4 64        http://puppetlabs.s3.amazonaws.com/pub/centos4_64.box
21   centos 5.6 32             http://yum.mnxsolutions.com/vagrant/centos_56_32.box

The easiest way of installing is to use the gem.

gem install vagrantboxes
