Vagrant

“Vagrant enables users to create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments.”

Vagrant’s default VM provider is VirtualBox, how ever we want to use Libvirtd as provider.

Libvirtd needs to be setup first as well as Vagrant needs to be in place.

add plugins
> VAGRANT_DISABLE_STRICT_DEPENDENCY_ENFORCEMENT=1 \
  vagrant plugin install \
  vagrant-libvirt \
  vagrant-mutate

VAGRANT_DISABLE_STRICT_DEPENDENCY_ENFORCEMENT will prevent dependency errors. See: github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues

Let’s discover the Vagrant Portal for AlmaLinux and fetch a “box” to play with:

# create project directory
> mkdir ~/foobase \
  && cd foobase

# create Vagrantfile
> vagrant init almalinux/10

# export default provider
> export VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=libvirt

# fetch box and start vm using libvirtd
> vagrant up

# or hit a one-liner
> vagrant up --provider=libvirt

Usefull commands:

# get status
> vagrant status

# start box
> vagrant up <options>

# stop box
> vagrant halt

# suspend box
> vagrant suspend

# resume box
> vagrant resume

# restart and load new config
> vagrant reload

# connect to box
> vagrant ssh

# print SSH config
> vagrant ssh-config

# list all local boxes
> vagrant box list

# fetch box remotly
> vagrant box add <name> <url>

# delete packages
> vagrant box remove <name>
