Getting Start with Vagrant

This task allowed me to familiarize myself with vagrant and how to set it up.

How I setup

Done on my host machine running Ubuntu 22.04

# On host machine
sudo apt update # update the source files
sudo apt install virtualbox vagrant -y # install virtualbox and vagrant

# vagrant setup
vagrant box add ubuntu/focal64 # downloaded Ubuntu 20.04 image
vagrant init ubuntu/focal64 # create the appropriate Vagranfile

# spin up VM
vagrant up --provider virtualbox

# connect to VM
vagrant ssh

Few observations (Per my setup)

• I needed to use virtualbox version 6.1
  • My later version which was 7.0 wasn't supported so I had to downgrade
• The default username is vagrant (obviously).
• The hostname is set to vagrant-box by default.
• I used the command vagrant up --provider virtualbox to ensure it was really using virtualbox
  • Previously, it was using libvirt
• Access to VM was SSH-based
