vagrant-lxc
Highly experimental, soon to come, Linux Containers support for the unreleased Vagrant 1.1.
Please refer to the closed issues to find out whats currently supported.
WARNING
Please keep in mind that this is not even alpha software and things might go wrong.
Dependencies
Just LXC and bsdtar
as of now, which on Ubuntu 12.10 means:
sudo apt-get install lxc bsdtar
Current limitations that I can remember
- Ruby >= 1.9.3 only, patches for 1.8.7 are welcome
- There is no support for setting a static IP. I'm using LXC's built in dns server to determine containers' IPs
- No provisioning yet
sudo
s- plus a bunch of other core features
Usage
For now you'll need to install the gem from sources:
git clone git://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc.git --recurse
cd vagrant-lxc
bundle install
bundle exec rake install
bundle exec rake boxes:build:ubuntu-cloud
vagrant-lxc box add ubuntu-cloud boxes/output/ubuntu-cloud.box
Since Vagrant 1.1 has not been released yet and to avoid messing up with you
current Vagrant installation, I've vendored Vagrant's sources from the master
and made it available from vagrant-lxc
. So after vagrant-lxc
gets installed, create a Vagrantfile
like the one below and run vagrant-lxc up --provider=lxc
:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu-cloud"
config.vm.provider :lxc do |lxc|
# ... some lxc options that will come here soon ...
end
end
If you don't trust me and believe that it will mess up with your current Vagrant installation and / or are afraid that something might go wrong with your machine, fire up the same Vagrant VirtualBox machine I'm using for development to try things out and do the same as above. That might also get you up and running if you are working on a mac ;)
Development
If you know what you'll be doing and want to develop from your physical machine, just sing that same old song:
git clone git://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc.git --recurse
cd vagrant-lxc
bundle install
bundle exec rake boxes:build:ubuntu-cloud
bundle exec rake # to run all specs
Using VirtualBox for development
I've also prepared a Vagrant 1.0 VirtualBox machine for development that you can
get up and running with the setup-vagrant-dev-box
script. Feel free to use it :)
cp Vagrantfile.dev Vagrantfile
./setup-vagrant-dev-box
vagrant ssh
NOTE: setup-vagrant-dev-box
takes around 10 minutes on a 15mb connection
after the base vagrant box and ubuntu lxc cloud img
have been downloaded
Protip
If you want to find out more about what's going on under the hood, prepend VAGRANT_LOG=debug
to your vagrant-lxc
commands like:
VAGRANT_LOG=debug vagrant-lxc up
Help! I've accidentaly ran vagrant-lxc
on a Vagrant 1.0 project and I can't use it anymore
That happened to me before so here's how to recover:
rm -rf .vagrant
mv .vagrant.v1* .vagrant
