Cheatsheet for Vagrant

Creating a VM

• vagrant init – Initialize Vagrant with a Vagrantfile and ./.vagrant directory, using no specified base image. Beforeyou can do vagrant up, you’ll need to specify a base image in the Vagrantfile.
• vagrant init – Initialize Vagrant with a specific box. To find a box, go to the public Vagrant box catalog. When you find one you like, just replace it’s name with boxpath. For example, vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64.

Starting a VM

• vagrant up – starts vagrant environment (also provisions only on the FIRST vagrant up)
• vagrant resume – resume a suspended machine (vagrant up works just fine for this as well)
• vagrant provision – forces reprovisioning of the vagrant machine
• vagrant reload – restarts vagrant machine, loads new Vagrantfile configuration
• vagrant reload --provision – restart the virtual machine and force provisioning

Getting into a VM

• vagrant ssh – connects to machine via SSH
• vagrant ssh – If you give your box a name in your Vagrantfile, you can ssh into it with boxname. Works from any directory.

Stopping a VM

• vagrant halt – stops the vagrant machine
• vagrant suspend – suspends a virtual machine (remembers state)

Cleaning Up a VM

• vagrant destroy – stops and deletes all traces of the vagrant machine
• vagrant destroy -f – same as above, without confirmation

Boxes

• vagrant box list – see a list of all installed boxes on your computer
• vagrant box add – download a box image to your computer
• vagrant box outdated – check for updates vagrant box update
• vagrant boxes remove – deletes a box from the machine
• vagrant package – packages a running virtualbox env in a reusable box

Saving Progress

-vagrant snapshot save [options] [vm-name] – vm-name is often default. Allows us to save so that we can rollback at a later time

Tips

• vagrant -v – get the vagrant version
• vagrant status – outputs status of the vagrant machine
• vagrant global-status – outputs status of all vagrant machines
• vagrant global-status –prune – same as above, but prunes invalid entries
• vagrant provision --debug – use the debug flag to increase the verbosity of the output
• vagrant push – yes, vagrant can be configured to deploy code!
• vagrant up --provision | tee provision.log – Runs vagrant up, forces provisioning and logs all output to a file

Plugins

vagrant-hostsupdater: $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater to update your /etc/hosts file automatically each time you start/stop your vagrant box.
