• Vagrant

    From Khelair@VERT/TINFOIL to All on Sun Nov 1 22:39:10 2015
    Does anybody here have any serious experience creating virtualbox virtual machines in vagrant? I've got a pretty ridiculously simple one, and I can't get port 80 visible from the outside via a host only, bridged, or even forwarded ports set for networking. It's driving me bonkers; if there's anybody out there that may be able to help with this I'd be very grateful to be able to discuss it a bit.
    TIA

    Why do you want to do it that way? Just set up your VirtualBox virtual machine in VirtualBox itself. It just seems like you are reinventing the
    wheel here.


    ... The answer is "maybe" ... and that's semi-final

    I'm working in an environment where I need to be able to spin up clones of a development server in the least amount of time possible. Hence fully automated provisioning of a machine from the point of being a raw box just with the OS to a machine fully loaded with a major e-commerce website, database loaded, etc, is my way of avoiding reinventing the wheel, instead of doing it again every time we need another one.
    'vagrant up' once the provisioning script is set up correctly and getting a cup of coffee to sip at while it runs is a hell of a lot better than sitting and going through 6-9 hours of loading all of the appropriate crap onto a new virtual machine by hand.
    Anyway I got past my vagrant issues. Turns out it was my poor knowledge of iptables that was messing things up. Got that all fixed and working now.

    What about Virtual Machine Manager from redHat (yes it is also free and
    open source) which uses libvirt. Could you maybe manage it with that in
    a script?

    Also, vmm (virtual machine manager), can also manage QEMU VMs but also
    LXE containers.
