Use VMware Fusion Box

For example: bytesguy/ubuntu-server-20.04-arm64

Steps:

1. Add box

   vagrant box add bytesguy/ubuntu-server-20.04-arm64
   
   # choose 'vmware_fusion' and wait
   

2. Locate the box

   # find the box dir
   find .vagrant.d/boxes -name '*bytesguy*'
   
   # enter the main dir of this box
   cd ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/bytesguy-VAGRANTSLASH-ubuntu-server-20.04-arm64/1.0.0/vmware_fusion/
   

3. Find the disk file: *.vmdk

   # run this command with in the 'vmware_fusion' dir
   find . -name '*.vmdk'
   
   # example result:
     ./disk-s005.vmdk
     ./disk.vmdk
     ./disk-s009.vmdk
     ./disk-s008.vmdk
     ./disk-s004.vmdk
     ./disk-s003.vmdk
     ./disk-s002.vmdk
     ./disk-s001.vmdk
     ./disk-s007.vmdk
     ./disk-s010.vmdk
     ./disk-s006.vmdk
   

4. Convert it to qcow2 image

   qemu-img convert <base of the image, without the 's00x' suffix>.vmdk new-image.qcow2
   # example: qemu-img convert disk.vmdk -O qcow2 box.qcow2
   

5. Run local qcow2 with vagrant-qemu (see example in readme)

Notes:

• the generated box.qcow2 can be used again for different machines
• it's the user's response to maintain the generated box.qcow2
• the example box may hang after vagrant up, see Fix ubuntu hang for details
