Linux Tools Project/Vagrant Tooling/User Guide
Contents
Introduction
The Linux Tools Vagrant Tooling plug-ins allow a user to manage Vagrant Boxes, and Virtual Machines as one might do with the 'vagrant' commandline tool.
For details on Vagrant, see https://www.vagrantup.com/
Vagrant Tooling Perspective
A new perspective known as the Vagrant Tooling Perspective is added.
Adding a Vagrant Box
To add a Vagrant Box, simply click the "Add Box" icon. Provide a name for the box, and then specify either the system path, url, or Atlas repository for the Box file.
Creating a Virtual Machine
One can create a virtual machine in 2 different ways :
- Using an existing Vagrant Box file
- Using an existing Vagrantfile
In either case, we selected the "Create VM" button, and assign some name to our virtual machine. If a Box was imported into the Vagrant Box View, we can use it to define our virtual machine. We can even specify a Box file on the local system that hasn't been imported. If on the other hand we have a Vagrantfile, we can simply select "Custom Vagrantfile" and provide the location of this file on our system.
We can optionally provide environment variables to be passed to the creation of this virtual machine.
SSH'ing into a Virtual Machine
If a Virtual Machine is configured with a proper SSH daemon, one can connect to it with the click of a button.
