I know I am late but finally I got the opportunity to see what VAGRANT is all about. In this article, I am going to cover everything I'll go as part of my 1st learning experience with VAGRANT so if you are also new to this, let's see it together.
Installing Vagrant:
You can download the latest Vagrant software here. For me, it's Version: 2.4.3 and I have downloaded AMD64 for my Windows machine.
The installation is quite easy so if you have every installed any software, it should not be difficult for you.
Configuring Boxes:
A BOX in Vagrant terminology is pre-built VM image. It can be simple OS installation or more than that, depending upon the configuration options in VAGRANTFILE and what you exactly want it to do. For example, you can setup Vagrant to configure Oracle RAC environment in 1 go and that's where we intend to go with this learning.
A VAGRANTFILE is normally a collection of different variables and their assignments which helps with Installation/Configurations and finding components. To permanently fix your lookup path of Vagrantfile, you can use the Environment Variable VAGRANT_CWD.
Right now, since it's fresh installation, I am not having any boxes in my list,
PS C:\Users\parvi> vagrant box list There are no installed boxes! Use `vagrant box add` to add some.
PS C:\Users\parvi> vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-16.04 ==> box: Loading metadata for box 'bento/ubuntu-16.04' box: URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/api/v2/vagrant/bento/ubuntu-16.04 ==> box: Adding box 'bento/ubuntu-16.04' (v202212.11.0) for provider: virtualbox box: Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/bento/boxes/ubuntu-16.04/versions/202212.11.0/providers/virtualbox/unknown/vagrant.box box: ==> box: Successfully added box 'bento/ubuntu-16.04' (v202212.11.0) for 'virtualbox'!
Creating Vagrantfile:
PS C:\Users\parvi> cd C:\Vagrant\Demo PS C:\Vagrant\Demo> vagrant init A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on `vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant. PS C:\Vagrant\Demo>
Editing VagrantFile:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "bento/ubuntu-16.04" config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb| vb.memory = 2048 # MBs. vb.cpus = 1 vb.name = "MyUbuntu" # Tell VirtualBox this VM is running on an SSD. vb.customize ['storageattach', :id, '--storagectl', 'SATA Controller', '--port', '0', '--nonrotational', 'on'] end end
Start the VM:
