Vagrantfile-Bootstrap

This repository contains my personal bootstrapping Vagrantfile. You are free to use it for your own projects.

Some parts of this Vagrantfile are configurable via an additional .vagrantfile.

Features

• Network: The default configuration will be accessible via a private IP in your network. To make this easier the vagrant plugin vagrant-hostsupdater (see Repo) will update your /etc/hosts file according to your configuration. So you can access the guest system from your host via the given hostname or aliases.

• User: A new user is created based on the USER_NAME configuration. (Default is vagrant)

• SSH: By default all (configurable via HOST_SSH_KEYS) your public keys from ~/.ssh/* will be added to the authorized_keys in the guest system. This makes it possible to connect via ssh user@hostname. vagrant ssh is still working for the vagrant user.

• NFS: Your current directory is mounted as app into your user's home via NFS.

• tbd in the future.

Installation

Installation is simple, just copy the Vagrantfile into your project, create a .vagrantfile with your configuration and run vagrant up.

Configuration

To change the default configuration create an additional .vagrantfile in the same directory where you placed the Vagrantfile. In this file you can simple set some environment variables. This file will be parsed on every vagrant command and the used configuration will be printed.

# Sample
$ ls
. .. Vagrantfile .vagrantfile
$ cat .vagrantfile
BOX_NAME = 'ARTACK/debian-jessie'
USER_NAME = 'andi'
HOSTNAME = 'vagrant'
HOSTNAME_ALIASES = 'vagrant.local, vagrant-dev'
$ vagrant status
==>  config: Configuration:
==>  config: 	Box: ARTACK/debian-jessie
