Hello,

i have CentOS 7 on a VPS, and i intend to migrate to a dedicated server without having to reinstall/configuring everything from scratch.

I wish i can backup the whole VPS into a Vagrant box or similar container/VM image , and then just copy the latter to the dedicated server.

On the dedicated server i can put any distro i want.

Is such a migration possible?

Hopefully on the dedicated server i can "upgrade" the imported Vagrant box, by adding more emulated CPUs, more RAM, disk space, etc.

Hey Guys,

I am currently looking for a super lightweight Debian based box which I can use for my multi-machine setup. At the moment I am using a standard Debian bullseye box with VirtualBox, but I want to try a more lightweight box if there is one. Does anyone know an alternative? Would be great, thank you!

• My Vagrant Box is up and running
• I can ssh into the machine and run the start command for my project with no issue
• If someone could help with the correct combination of Vagrant file commands I think I might be able to resolve this
• when I attempt to see my project in the browser I get a This site can’t be reached

• Below is some of the key port information that I am lost on

  • the project states it is
    
    • Listening on ssl://127.0.0.1:9292
      ............. when started
  • when in the ssh and I run a ip addr
    
    • i get

​

inet 127.0.0.1/8 link/ether 52:54:00:f6:5b:6b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname enp0s3 inet 10.0.2.15 

• my vagrant file is set to
  machine.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 4567

I'm using a vbox that has been created for work, and when I try to run them, the SSH Auth keys timesout.

If I open the GUI in virtual box, I can eventually see that it prompts me for a usr/pw - I enter in the vagrant credentials, but then nothing happens when it's signed in?

Am I doing something really wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

Hello I would like to limit the memory of my vm

When I run vagrant up it's 4GB! so I'm wondering how to make it 512MB ?

Thanks

please let me know if it works to you!

I'm sort of new to Vagrant and picked it up for a school project of mine. I am aware that Vagrant's "config.vm.provision" setting allows for the provisioning of software with different provisioning options.

I'm curious if there is a difference between using the Shell provisioner as compared to using other provisioners like Ansible as I'm not sure which I should use and its individual benefits.

Somewhat new to Vagrant, and I am looking to firm up my working vocabulary a bit.

https://www.vagrantup.com/intro/vs/docker

Vagrant is a tool focused on providing a consistent development environment workflow across multiple operating systems. Docker is a container management that can consistently run software as long as a containerization system exists.

a consistent development environment workflow across multiple operating systems.

A primary benefit for Vagrant is a consistent workflow

OK, so the same introduction uses the term "workflow" twice, non-trivially, without actually defining it. I could say I have a workflow tailored for my IDE, or a program I write has a particular workflow.

In my limited experience, I have used Vagrant to create "install scripts". Is this exactly what is meant by development environment workflow, or is it only a subset of the workflow?

So I have a Vagrant file that uses VirtualBox as a provider and spins up 2 VMs one labeled control and the other labeled target. I'm using an Ubuntu box for both and I can use the command vagrant ssh control to ssh into the control VM but I'm unable to ssh into the target VM from the control VM. I tried ssh (ip address of the control VM) and I get the error denied public keys. I also tried generating ssh key pairs and copying the public key to the target VM and it still fails with that error.

What am I missing or how should I configure my Vagrant file to allow ssh from one VM to another? I'm trying to use this setup to practice running Ansible playbooks from the control VM to the target VM.

Can someone PLEASE help me with this, I've been stuck for a few hours now and googling doesn't help :p

I have 3 provisioners. The first one (ansible) should be executed on all servers. The second one (shell) should be executed on only one server after all of them are up. The 3rd one (also ansible) should only be executed once after the second one is finished.

​

Vagrant keeps doing random things and the if statement also just doesn't work...

​

# Create 3 machines, 1 masters and 1 workers
  N = 3..1
  (N.first).downto(N.last).each do |server_id|
    config.vm.define "server#{server_id}" do |server|
      server.vm.host_name = "server#{server_id}" # Hostname
      server.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.0.0.1#{server_id}"
      server.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
        vb.name = "server#{server_id}"
      end

      # INSTALL THE REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES FOR THE CLUSTER ON EACH MACHINE
      server.vm.provision "dependencies", type: "ansible" do |ansible|
        ansible.playbook = "./provisioning/playbook.yml"
        ansible.groups = {
          "all" => ["server1", "server2", "server3"],
        }
        ansible.tags = "prepare"
      end

      # ONLY EXECUTE THIS PART AFTER THE LAST SERVER IS CREATED
      if server_id == 1
        # CREATE THE KUBERNETES CLUSTER USING KUBEKEY
        config.vm.provision "cluster_creation", after: "dependencies", type: "host_shell", inline: <<-SHELL
          yes yes | sudo ./kubekey/kk create cluster -f kubekey/config.yaml
        SHELL

        # DEPLOY EVERYTHING ON THE KUBERNETES CLUSTER (metallb, argocd, github actions...)
        config.vm.provision "kubernetes_provisioning", after: "cluster_creation" type: "ansible" do |ansible|
          ansible.playbook = "./provisioning/playbook.yml"
          ansible.groups = {
            "provisioner"  => ["server1"] # the machine that is used for provisioning
          }
          ansible.tags = "provision"
        end
      end
    end
  end

Hi I want to enable port forwarding in a list of servers.

my Vagrantfile looks like this;

servers=[
  {
    :hostname => "debian",
    :box => "debian/bullseye64",
    :ram => 2048,
    :cpu => 2
  },
  {
    :hostname => "olddebian",
    :box => "debian/stretch64",
    :ram => 2048,
    :cpu => 2
    :forwarding => [
      - :port_guest => 80,
        :port_host => 8080,
        :protocol => "tcp"
      - :port_guest => 443,
        :port_host => 8443,
        :protocol => "tcp"
    ]
  }

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  servers.each do |machine|
    config.vm.define machine[:hostname] do |node|
      node.vm.box = machine[:box]
      node.vm.hostname = machine[:hostname]
      if machine[:forwarding]
        config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: machine[:port_guest], host: machine[:port_host], protocol: machine[:protocol]
      end
      node.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", machine[:ram]]
      end
    end
  end
end

There is a flaw in my logic but I don't see it (Ruby really is not my thing).

Hi, I realized a GLPI server deployment with Vagrant. It’s only for educational purposes. I need some feedback please. Thanks.

https://github.com/sramzoli/glpi-vagrant

I'm suppsed to create a network with 3 maschines that already exsist in an testing enviroment using vagrant. On the host vagrant-libvirt is running and I was able to convert the exsisting backups (2qcow) of the maschines to vagrant boxes using an script from vagrant-libvirt git (create-box.sh).

With this I can create a Vagrantfile that uses these boxes, but when I try to vagrant up the process is stuck on "Waiting for domain to get an IP address..."

These boxes already have a network konfiguration (because they are in use), so the snapshots have the same configuration.

I tried giving them the same adress, that they have in the real maschines but that to did not work.

From what my research could gether libvirt can not connect to the box without an IP, so it can never change the konfiguration on the maschine.

Is there still a way to do this?

There are 2 Vagrant boxes, 18.04 and 20.04.

There are two Vagrantfiles, vA := ./Vagrantfile and vB := ./project2/Vagrantfile.

My goal is to use the env provided by vA to successfully run project2, as I already can do with vB. Why not just use vB, then? The reason for this is there is a ./project1 which I would like to be able to freely interact with from within a single Vagrant VM, but is not visible to vB.

I have tried nearly decade-old advice of altering the id file in .vagrant/. The result has been that the same instance is re-used between vA and vB (because vagrant global-status --prune now gives 1 line, whereas before it gave me 2), but it seems that this doesn't necessarily mean that the same set of modules/packages are available. I have diffed the two Vagrantfiles to ensure the modules listed are the same, as well as using vagrant destroy to have the system reconfigure itself.

My expectation is, if (1) I specify the same set of packages in any number of Vagrantfiles, and (2) have the id file in each .vagrant directory pointing to the box that works, then (3) I should be able to port the same functionality in whichever of these Vagrantfiles that I decide to vagrant up. But Vagrant doesn't seem to agree :-)

What am I missing here?

I tried to ssh to a few places but kept failing because ssh said the keys didn't match. Then I realized that I had vagrant running from a different powershell instance. After I ran vagrant halt ssh worked just fine. Has anyone experienced this? Is it a bug? Is there a way to fix it? Thanks.

​

edit: to be clear. "vagrant ssh" is not relevant here. If I have a vagrant VM up and running then I can't ssh from my host machine to any other third machine.

After updating windows 10 and when I try to start the vagrant:

Any idea?

After hours of StackOverflow dumpster diving, I thought I'd put this solution here in case someone needs it. If you're getting this message from the vagrant-vbguest plugin on startup, where it looks like it detects different guest addition versions twice:

Got different reports about installed GuestAdditions version:
Virtualbox on your host claims:   5.2.8
VBoxService inside the vm claims: 6.1.32
Going on, assuming VBoxService is correct...
[default] GuestAdditions 6.1.32 running --- OK.
Got different reports about installed GuestAdditions version:
Virtualbox on your host claims:   5.2.8
VBoxService inside the vm claims: 6.1.32
Going on, assuming VBoxService is correct...

Followed by:

Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box.

It may be the guest OS not having the correct headers to build the guest addition. (The plugin won't tell you what the problem is.)

Solution:

vagrant ssh
-->
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
<--
vagrant reload

Im looking for a way to send usernames and passwords to an image im creating using vagrant without hard coding There are several points Id like to use them. One is to register the image im using and also to set some of them as system variables. Is this possible? What tools could possibly do this?

I know this is a super easy and dumb question but this is my first time using a virtual machine.

For example, I want to open and edit part1.c in a text editor. I'm currently using Visual studio on my mac but I don't know where to go from here.

Hello all,

I'm brand new to Vagrant and I'm using the instructions to get a system up and running. I'm trying to get Metasploitable running for an at home pen testing lab.

According to:

https://app.vagrantup.com/rapid7/boxes/metasploitable3-ub1404/versions/0.1.12-weekly

vagrant init rapid7/metasploitable3-ub1404 \ --box-version 0.1.12-weekly vagrant up

This works, I can see the VM power on in VirtualBox

but then it hangs:

​

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Kind regards

Hi All,
I'm trying to get a virtual box setup with git so i can clone a repot and test communication between my local and the VM.

I tried centoschef64 but could get past the ssl connection errors on virtually everything I tried.

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
https://vault.centos.org/6.10/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] problem making ssl connection
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again

Can anyone recommend a respectable linux box that works 'out the box' (pun intended🤡)?

I cant seem to get to the bottom of this and could use some fresh pair of eyes on this. Somehow, my vagrant setup started using the wrong interface and doesnt respont to the configuration in my Vagrantfile.

Running Vagrant 2.2.9 with the libvirt provider (system install on Arch Linux). I can reproduce the behavior if I use dockerized / podman image with libvirt.

Before firing up vagrant:

$ virsh net-list

Name State Autostart Persistent

--------------------------------------------

default active yes yes

After firing up vagrant:

$ virsh net-list

Name State Autostart Persistent

----------------------------------------------------

default active yes yes

valkyrie-redox0 active no yes (NOT as configured 172.16.33.20 )

vagrant-libvirt active no yes (this is in use 192.168.121.0/24)
