Bento collaboration

[Stromweld]

I was wondering if you'd be interested in a collaboration with the bento project on using utm to build vagrant boxes? Using your plugin for vagrant and packer I have a PR and working builds of most of the bento boxes and with your collaboration I think we could get the rest of the boxes building as well. I've already uploaded the boxes I was able to build as found in the table in the change log of successful builds. You'd also then be welcome to copy any of the code as you'd like to expand the UTM-Gallery boxes you create and publish as well. See my draft PR on adding UTM provider here chef/bento#1605.

Hi

This is excellent work! , thanks a lot.
Yes, I'm happy to help bento project on UTM boxes.
I see you have couple of issues opened on packer plugin side, I can try addressing that.
I have only used bento's packer recipes to build UTM boxes locally. Once I get familiar on how to reproduce the bento GitHub action workflows I can help build remaining boxes.

Let me know if there are other or specific issues I can help with.

Thanks.

Awesome. So far everything has been working pretty good. Only 2 big issues I've ran into are more utm app related. 1 blocking me from using public runners for gha is the fact that I can't seem to get builds to work without the app open and running. I set server mode always on. Currently to get around it I set the workflows to use my home Mac minis and have the app open. The other would be that the utmctl command randomly hangs and requires me to force kill the utm process and restart the app.

Outside of that the utm packer plugin gets the wrong guest additions iso checksum when no url or checksum is specified. I had to hard code a checksum value it expected for latest guest additions iso.
