Prerequisite:
A. create a vm "devbox" and install all the base softwares post OS install:
1. create user vagrant and key, add to wheel group for sudo access.
2. check in wheel group has "NOPASSWD" in sudoer file.
3. copy vagrant private key to your local and remove from VM
4. copy public key to "authorized_key" and "chmod 600 authorized_keys".
3. $ cd D:\tasks\vagrant\vagrant
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
# Above command is just to avoid - "Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and can work properly. The command attempted was: mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3` vagrant /vagrant"
4. Then package the running VM to ".vbox":
$ vagrant package --base devbox
Working:
A) Create a new file "Vagrantfile" under "D:\tasks\vagrant\vagrant":
$ cd D:\tasks\vagrant\vagrant
$ vi Vagrantfile
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "vbase64"
config.vm.box_url = "file:///D:/tasks/vagrant/vbox/centos7_64.box"
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "172.16.16.16"
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "vbase64"
vb.memory = "512"
end
# Enable provisioning with a shell script and chef solo
config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
touch /tmp/justtotest
SHELL
config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
chef.cookbooks_path = "cookbooks"
chef.add_recipe "test"
end
# config.ssh.port = "22"
config.ssh.username = "vagrant"
config.ssh.private_key_path = "D:\\tasks\\vagrant\\vfiles\\ssh\\vagrant.key"
config.vm.synced_folder "../mount", "/vagrant", disabled: false
config.ssh.pty= true
end
B) Now do a vagrant up, this kicks off vagrant guest machine:
$ vagrant up
C) SSH to vagrant gues machine:
$ vagrant ssh or
$ ssh 172.16.16.16
D) Run Chef Solo manually on guest(on centos):
$ sudo chef-solo -c /tmp/vagrant-chef/solo.rb -j /tmp/recipe.json
$ cat /tmp/recipe.json
{ "run_list": [ "recipe[base]", "recipe[foo]", "recipe[bar]", "role[webserver]" ] }
E) Destroy VM:
$ vagrant destroy
F) made some changes to vagrant file? just provision the VM again, no need to "vagrant reload":
$ vagrant provision
Note:
- nat interface would listen on 2222 and hostonly would listen on 22
- mentioned private key should be openssh compatible.
------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting:
# Before re-packaging some VM, make sure you removed the already provisioned box:
$ vagrant box list
$ vagrant box remove vbase64
# sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo
config.ssh.pty= true
# dont want to mount(in vagrantfile)
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
# vagrant destroy failed and causing issues with next up (VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
$ vagrant destroy -f
# check the ssh bit used:
vagrant ssh-config
# Make the instance name static:
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "vbase64"
vb.memory = "512"
end
