Instructions on how to use are right in the README. Let me know if you face any issues.

Contributions would be highly appreciated!

Hi,

I was looking through the README and it says to download the base.ova file.
The link seems to be broken.

Where can I get the base.ova file?

Thanks.

A search turns up this:

"
An OVA (open virtual appliance/archive) is a tar archive, containing an .ovf and .vmdk files, respectively the VM configuration and disks.
"

What might work is just download a ready-made .ova https://erpnext.org/download then rename it - quite possibly packer can work with the existing .ovf and .vmdk files?

If that fails some VB docs likely will tell what to create or download for eg a ‘barebones’ Ubuntu, CentOS etc OS appliance. My experience is this is a bit of chicken and egg alchemy to do with ‘disk images’

I am not familiar with VirtualBox but instead libvirt and KVM.

Yeah, it’s the base-image from which the VBox image is created. @saurabh6790 is the VirtualBox image still supported / updated?

If the base-image (base.ova) does not exists, I think the README should be updated so that I won’t give false information to anyone who is using it.
