13       To use this module inside your Rexfile you can use the following
14       commands.
15
16        use Rex::Commands::Box;
17        set box => "KVM";
18
19        task "prepare_box", sub {
20           box {
21              my ($box) = @_;
22
23              $box->name("mybox");
24              $box->url("http://box.rexify.org/box/ubuntu-server-12.10-amd64.kvm.qcow2");
25
26              $box->network(1 => {
27                 name => "default",
28              });
29
30              $box->auth(
31                 user => "root",
32                 password => "box",
33              );
34
35              $box->setup("setup_task");
36           };
37        };
38
39       If you want to use a YAML file you can use the following template.
40
41        type: KVM
42        vms:
43           vmone:
44              url: http://box.rexify.org/box/ubuntu-server-12.10-amd64.kvm.qcow2
45              setup: setup_task
46
47       And then you can use it the following way in your Rexfile.
48
49        use Rex::Commands::Box init_file => "file.yml";
50
51        task "prepare_vms", sub {
52           boxes "init";
53        };
