vagrant

vagrant installation:

1. Install the virtual box.
2. Download the vagrant code from website and install the same.
 
3.
  $ vagrant box add hashicorp/precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
  $ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
  $ vagrant up

4.$ vagrant box add hashicorp/precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
==> box: Adding box 'hashicorp/precise32' (v0) for provider:
    box: Downloading: http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
==> box: Successfully added box 'hashicorp/precise32' (v0) for 'virtualbox'!
 
amit@laptop:~$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.
 
amit@laptop:~$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'hashicorp/precise32'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Setting the name of the VM: amit_default_1403959296506_47328
==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration...
    default: Adapter 1: nat
==> default: Forwarding ports...
    default: 22 => 2222 (adapter 1)
==> default: Booting VM...
==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
    default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
    default: SSH username: vagrant
    default: SSH auth method: private key
==> default: Machine booted and ready!
==> default: Checking for guest additions in VM...
    default: The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of
    default: VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can
    default: prevent things such as shared folders from working properly. If you see
    default: shared folder errors, please make sure the guest additions within the
    default: virtual machine match the version of VirtualBox you have installed on
    default: your host and reload your VM.
    default:
    default: Guest Additions Version: 4.2.0
    default: VirtualBox Version: 4.1
==> default: Mounting shared folders...
    default: /vagrant => /home/amit
amit@laptop:~$

5: Now from few of the above point you can get that:

The virtual box is listening on port 2222 on 127.0.0.1 and default user is "vagrant" password is "vagrant".
You can create your PKI for this. [ if you see your virtual machine, you can see a vm is running. ]

6. How do I login: [ vagrant ssh ]

ssh -p 2222 vagrant@127.0.0.1  #password is vagrant.  [ this is old way. ]


7. vagrant suspend  [ saved current state of the instance. ]
8. vagrant resume   [ resume a previously suspended instance. ]
9. vagrant halt [ to stop the vm instance ]
10. vagrant up [ power on the vm machine. ]

11. start from scratch:
 a. vagrant destroy
 b. vagrant up

12. vagrant ssh [ to ssh into the vagrant box. ]
