Vagrantfile for Linux

I use this file as a template for all my other Vagrantfiles.

This will set up a Ubuntu Server 14.04 VirtualBox with GCC and LLVM.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 official cloud image
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
  config.vm.box_check_update = false

  # VirtualBox
  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    vb.name = "Name" # friendly name that shows up in Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager
    vb.memory = 2048 # memory in megabytes
    vb.cpus = 4 # cpu cores, can't be more than the host actually has!
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--natdnshostresolver1", "on"] # fixes slow dns lookups
  end

  # use local ubuntu mirror
  config.vm.provision :shell, inline: "sed -i 's/archive.ubuntu.com/lv.archive.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list"
  # add swap
  config.vm.provision :shell, inline: "fallocate -l 4G /swapfile && chmod 0600 /swapfile && mkswap /swapfile && swapon /swapfile && echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab"
  config.vm.provision :shell, inline: "echo vm.swappiness = 10 >> /etc/sysctl.conf && echo vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 50 >> /etc/sysctl.conf && sysctl -p"
  # build tools
  config.vm.provision :shell, inline: "apt-get update"
  config.vm.provision :shell, inline: "apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev -y"
  config.vm.provision :shell, inline: "wget -O - http://llvm.org/apt/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | apt-key add -"
  config.vm.provision :shell, inline: "apt-get install clang-3.4 -y"

  # enable logging in via ssh with a password
  config.ssh.username = "vagrant"
  config.ssh.password = "vagrant"
end

If you need port forwarding, add

# network
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

Use

In command prompt or PowerShell

vagrant up
vagrant ssh

Or connect with PuTTY

• Host: localhost
• Port: 2222
• User: vagrant
• Password: vagrant

Multiple machines

You can also launch multiple machines at the same time.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 official cloud image
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
  config.vm.box_check_update = false

  # VirtualBox
  # common settings
  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    vb.cpus = 1 # cpu cores, can't be more than the host actually has!
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--natdnshostresolver1", "on"] # fixes slow dns lookups
  end

  config.vm.define "mothership" do |srv|
    srv.vm.hostname = "mothership"
    srv.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.9.2"

    srv.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
      vb.name = "Mothership"
      vb.memory = 1024
    end

    # use local ubuntu mirror
    srv.vm.provision :shell, inline: "sed -i 's/archive.ubuntu.com/lv.archive.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list"
    # add swap
    srv.vm.provision :shell, inline: "fallocate -l 4G /swapfile && chmod 0600 /swapfile && mkswap /swapfile && swapon /swapfile && echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab"
    # tools
    srv.vm.provision :shell, inline: "apt-get update"
    srv.vm.provision :shell, inline: "apt-get install -y python-pip unzip sshpass"
    srv.vm.provision :shell, inline: "pip install ansible"

    # network
    config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 9200, host: 9200
  end

  config.vm.define "app1" do |srv|
    srv.vm.hostname = "app1"
    srv.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.9.3"

    srv.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
      vb.name = "App1"
      vb.memory = 256
    end
  end

  config.vm.define "app2" do |srv|
    srv.vm.hostname = "app2"
    srv.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.9.4"

    srv.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
      vb.name = "App2"
      vb.memory = 256
    end
  end

  # enable logging in via ssh with a password
  config.ssh.username = "vagrant"
  config.ssh.password = "vagrant"
end

vagrant up will launch all of them at the same time.

To connect, specify the name of the machine: vagrant ssh mothership.
