What is the preferred/popular Vagrant box for Django?

Question

I am looking for a Vagrant box for Django. I am new to both Vagrant and Django. Is there a popular/preferred Vagrant box for Django? With Docker, I can easily answer this question by going to the Docker repository and filtering by stars or download. I can't do that with Vagrant.

I found this: http://devopera.com/applications/django-official-release-python#ubuntu1204 which advertises itself as the official Django box.

I also found: https://github.com/torchbox/vagrant-django-base by Googling "vagrant django".

As a newcomer, is there one I should use? Is there a better box out there?

Answer 1

I would go with https://puphpet.com/ or http://rove.io/

Those are Vagrantfile generator tool. You just highlight what you need and it will be build the Vagrantfile and the provisioner part for you.

You can then just vagrant up from the generated file and ssh into the box.

I don't think any of the two are installing django so you can install it after you're into the box or add it as an additional provisioner step.
