= Vagrant

Manage VMs from CLI

== Quickly spin a Linux VM in my libvirt env

This is a CentOS 5 example. You can take another box.

    $ vagrant mutate http://yum.mnxsolutions.com/vagrant/centos_56_32.box libvirt
    $ vagrant init centos_56_32

Then add this in the body of the Vagrantfile

  config.vm.define :centos5 do |centos5|
    centos5.vm.box = "centos_56_32"
  end

  # libvirt config
  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
    libvirt.connect_via_ssh = false
    libvirt.storage_pool_name = "olivier"
    libvirt.host = nil
    libvirt.memory = 2048
    libvirt.cpus = 2
  end

Finally:

  $ vagrant up
  $ vagrant ssh

== Commands

vagrant up --provider=libvirt
vagrant rsync-auto
vagrant ssh

vagrant suspend / resume
vagrant halt / up

vagrant destroy

== Cool plugins

Speed up `vagrant up` with package cache
