#vagrant — Public Fediverse posts

I think it is really sad that with the license change vagrant has dropped in everybody's perception. There are many projects no longer caring about vagrant (due to the reduced number of users) and no longer building or publishing vagrant boxes. Alpine is stuck at 3.19, Debian13 download is broken for months, Fedora is stuck at 39. (I never could get the openSUSE publisher working, so I take the blame for that).

I still like the vagrant workflow, having a easy way to create shareable environments. I really like it in combination with Ansible to easily have demo setups or playgrounds.

This far I did not find a replacement. Alternatives are either not as universally usable or are lacking features like the Ansible integration. I'll keep on looking...

Dear devs, is Vagrant in 2026 still a thing to set up dev environments ?
Like, if I don't wanna set up php and all the tools on my own machine....?
Or you do it all with docker?

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'libvirt' provider...
[fog][WARNING] Unrecognized arguments: libvirt_ip_command

default: Box Provider: libvirt

The box 'generic/freebsd15' could not be found or could not be accessed in the remote catalog.

Anyone knows if there are plans to provide more images for vagrant and FreeBSD 15 ?

In case you want to get your hands dirty with Traefik, Kubernetes and the new GatewayAPI, I got you covered.

Here is another vagrant-libvirt setup that has #k3s, #Traefik and a #Nginx deployment. Instead of using a #Kubernetes #ingress or a Traefik ingressroute, this setup uses the #GatewayAPI resources like Gateways and HTTPRoutes.

As usual, #Ansible does the heavy lifting and deploys everything in the cluster.

Have a lot of fun.

Dear all,

for playing around with the Ghost CMS / blog system I put together yet another vagrant-libvirt setup using Ansible and Podman Quadlets

In in the last two week I tried to get the vagrant-libvirt setup for #Artifactory up and running.

I now have a kind-of-working setup:
https://codeberg.org/johanneskastl/artifactory_vagrant_libvirt_ansible
https://github.com/johanneskastl/artifactory_vagrant_libvirt_ansible

This #vagrant setup creates a VM and installs the official Artifactory OSS version. It works kind of well in my tests. However, I deem the official systemd unit broken by design (separate toot following). So this setup installs a new unit that worked better in my tests (but not perfect, which I think is caused by the official startup scripts).

Have fun!

The #okd project has released a version of #microshift based on OKD, so of course I had to try it out.

For those not familiar with it, OKD is a kubernetes distribution and is the "upstream" of RedHat's OpenShift.

Here is a single-VM vagrant-libvirt setup that installs, configures and starts the Kubernetes cluster using #Ansible.

I found Squest (https://github.com/HewlettPackard/squest/) recently, which is a self-service portal built on top of #AWX #RedHat #AAP (Ansible Automation Platform). Of course I had to try this out...

@christianhuth put together a Helm chart, while I tried to get upstream's way of deploying to work (they are using an #Ansible playbook-role construct to install this into #Kubernetes).

Here is the first result, the helm-based #vagrant #libvirt setup:
https://codeberg.org/johanneskastl/squest_on_k3s_vagrant_libvirt_ansible
https://github.com/johanneskastl/squest_on_k3s_vagrant_libvirt_ansible

(The ansible branch using upstream's deployment will follow, once I get it working with vagrant-libvirt...)

Have a lot of fun!

....aaaaaand #OpenBao (the fork of #Hashicorp #Vault) is on its way to @opensuse #Tumbleweed in the latest version 2.2.1. Since 2.2.0 the webui is included in OpenBao, so this can be a full replacement for Vault!

Looking forward to doing more testing with it!

In case you want to try it out, here is a #vagrant #libvirt setup using #Ansible to prepare an OpenBao server VM and a client using a secret.

As one does between the years, I have started digging into #subversion (the version control system) to learn more about its concepts. Because, why not? At least it helps me to be grateful for the ease of use I have with #git (sorry subversion...).

In case you want to have a look, I built a #vagrant setup to easily play around with Subversion:

As I am on a reading spree, #Mercurial will be next. And no, before you ask, I will not get into CVS after that...
