Hi there,
Rather than shelling out to command line tools to get those values, you can
use some built-in Ruby functions to achieve the same result. That will make
your Vagrantfile a little more cross-platform compatible.
Try something like this:
require 'date'
username = ENV['USERNAME'] || ENV['USER']
myDate = DateTime.now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S')
myhostname = "#{username}-linux-vm-#{myDate}"
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
config.vm.hostname = "#{myhostname}"
end
Cheers,
Jeff
