vagrant Cookbook

Installs vagrant and manages vagrant plugins w/ a custom resource.

• Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/

Requirements

Tested on Chef 11:

• Debian 6
• CentOS 6.3

May work on other Debian/RHEL family distributions with or without
modification.

Support exists for Windows and OS X but this has not yet been tested.

The URL and Checksum attributes must be set, see Attributes

Attributes

The following attributes must be set.

• node['vagrant']['url'] - URL to the Vagrant installation package.
• node['vagrant']['checksum'] - SHA256 checksum of the Vagrant installation package.

If the node is Windows, the MSI version must be set. This is used by
the windows_package resource to determine if the package is
installed.

• node['vagrant']['msi_version'] - Version string of the installed MSI "package" on Windows.

The following attribute is optional.

• node['vagrant']['plugins'] - An array of plugins. The elements in the array can be a string or a hash. String elements should be the names of plugins to install. Hash elements should have two keys, "name" and "version", for the plugin name and its version to install. This is used by the vagrant_plugin resource in the default recipe.

Resources

This cookbook includes the vagrant_plugin resource, for managing
vagrant plugins.

vagrant_plugin

Actions

• :install: installs the specified plugin. Default.
• :uninstall: uninstalls the specified plugin
• :remove: uninstalls the specified plugin

Attribute Parameters

• :plugin_name: name attribute, the name of the plugin, e.g. "vagrant-omnibus".
• :version: version of the plugin to installed, must be specified as a string, e.g., "1.0.2"

Examples

vagrant_plugin "vagrant-omnibus"

vagrant_plugin "vagrant-berkshelf"
  version "1.2.0"
end

Usage

Set the url and checksum attributes on the node. Do this in a role, or
a "wrapper" cookbook.

Then include the default recipe on the node's run list.

To specify plugins for installation in the default recipe, specify an
array for the node['vagrant']['plugins'] attribute. For example, to
install the vagrant-omnibus plugin (any version) and version "1.2.0"
of the vagrant-berkshelf plugin:

node.set['vagrant']['plugins'] = [
  "vagrant-omnibus",
  {"name" => "vagrant-berkshelf", "version" => "1.2.0"}
]

See the attribute description above.
