Vagrant
Basic Usage
Below are some very simple examples of how to use Vagrant Cloud-Init with the VirtualBox provider.
For more detailed information about these config values and how to use cloud-init, please read the official documentation for cloud-init.
Basic Examples
A cloud_init config can be defined as a "hash" of key values, or as a block. Below are two examples of this for defining a cloud_init config:
# Simplified form
config.vm.cloud_init content_type: "text/x-shellscript", path: "./foo/bar.sh"
# Block form
config.vm.cloud_init do |cloud_init|
cloud_init.content_type = "text/cloud-config"
cloud_init.inline = <<-EOF
package_update: true
packages:
- nginx
EOF
end
The first part will be read from a local file ./foo/bar
, and the second part
will be attached using the inline content. Both "block" and "hash" forms are supported,
and should work interchangeably.
Individual machines may have their own cloud-init data:
config.vm.define "web" do |web|
web.vm.cloud_init content_type: "text/cloud-config",
inline: <<-EOF
package_update: true
packages:
- nginx
EOF
end
end
config.vm.define "db" do |db|
db.vm.cloud_init content_type: "text/cloud-config",
inline: <<-EOF
package_update: true
packages:
- postgresql
EOF
end
