You set the VAGRANT_SERVER_URL env var. At work we set this on all our dev machines (via Boxen) so we can add boxes using the short notation 'mycompany/mybox'. The env var points to an internal web server which produces JSON responses for Vagrant to consume which contain the real URLs to the ac

Assuming you're already writing the Chef output to a log file, just ensure the log is put into the /vagrant folder on the guest. This folder is already mapped back to the host machine in the same directory as your Vagrantfile. On Wednesday, October 29, 2014 10:29:28 PM UTC-7, anatoly techtonik

[vagrant-up] Re: Vagrant Provisioning in Windows - Sudo Error

Vagrant supports Windows guests using WinRM, you need to change the communicator type to :winrm. Also, Vagrant doesn't support XP as a guest, although it _might_ work with some additional guest config/updates. config.vm.communicator = :winrm The other option is to use SSH as a communicator via

You must be trying to run chef-client outside of Vagrant on subsequent runs, e.g. directly on the guest. If that's the case, why not just run chef-client through Vagrant again? You might look at the Vagrant "file provisioner" to upload files to the guest, from the host. If you create a custom.r

Re: [vagrant-up] How do I extend/monkey-patch a core Vagrant provisioner?

Vagrant will copy the validation.pem to the guest box for you: chef.validation_key_path = "/etc/chef/validation.pem", but perhaps your use case isn't quite as simple as that. You can monkey match the Chef-Client provisioners, here's an example that works with Vagrant 1.1 -> 1.5: https://github

Re: [vagrant-up] Reboot during provisions

Windows is rebooting before your provisioner has a chance to report "done" back to Vagrant. If you add a delay into your shutdown command (i.e. -t 30), it'll work fine. The provisioner will finish and before Vagrant starts the next provisioner block it will see that a reboot is going to happen

[vagrant-up] Re: My struggle in creatin Windows Guest in EC2

WinRM doesn't require SSH on the guest, they're both independent communication channels. Windows guest drive mapping on VirtualBox, VMWare, and Parallels uses their native shared folders implementation. For EC2 obviously this won't work. I'd like to see EC2/Vagrant/WinRM work, but at this point

Did you fully configure winrm as per https://github.com/winrb/vagrant-windows#winrm-configuration? Setting the network to private, not sure about that one. Usually work is used. Firewall? IMO the easiest way to create a Vagrant base box is to use Packer with packer-windows (https://github.com/j
