One of the biggest strengths for Vagrant is Chef (or Puppet if you prefer). Anything that requires "apt-get *" as part of your instructions after "vagrant up" and you're just doing it wrong.
Check your Vagrantfile and associated recipes into git. Then it's just "git clone; vagrant up"
The benefit of this is that you can share your stack by having someone else just git clone your stack. Rather than a blog post, we'd be looking at your chef recipe. I'd much prefer that.
- samrat 14y agoThanks for the feedback. I use Puppet too, but avoided it in the post to simplify it for the reader. Maybe I'll write a follow-up and include Puppet as well.
- ashconnor 14y agoPlease write this follow-up. I've known about Puppet for a while (Chef is new to me) and I've yet to see a tutorial here on HN on how to get up and running with either.
