Hihi, schreibe einen Inception-Artikel...
"#Proxmox, #Vagrant, #OpenTofu
Admins können die neue, dreifach verschachtelte Cloud fortan per Proxmox-Web-Frontend steuern oder per Open-Tofu-Konfigurationsdateien dauerhafte Änderungen vornehmen. Damit das funktioniert, nutzt das Beispielsetup das #Hashicorp-Tool #Packer, um ein #Linux mit Proxmox vorzubereiten, das dann von Vagrant via Konfigurationsdatei provisioniert und mit OpenTofus *.tf-Dateien konfiguriert wird. #adfinis @nikslor #opensource

Technical work today. After many years, I have to install Ubuntu And I love @hetzner (see screenshot, 108MB/s download is nice). Running a real hardware server from their "Resterampe" aka "Serverbörse", kinda refurbished, but 256GB RAM and 7TB disk for 50 € month, I just had to ... Libvirt and KVM run parts of my cloud there.
With help from #adfinis @nikslor I will install #opentofu, #vagrant, #proxmox on a nested VM, for an article in IT-Administrator. #opensource #linux

Dear devs, is Vagrant in 2026 still a thing to set up dev environments ?
Like, if I don't wanna set up php and all the tools on my own machine....?
Or you do it all with docker?

Christmas day... and I'm playing around with Vagrant and Ansible provisioning... There's a certain something about automations and being able to rebuild infrastructure in a few minutes with restores from backup.

Lovely.

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'libvirt' provider...

Anyone knows if there are plans to provide more images for vagrant and FreeBSD 15 ?

Can you shrink VirtualBox disk images? It turns out you can, with the right setup. A recent cleanup operation led me to one way to get this particular set of ducks all in line. Here’s what I found out.

https://peateasea.de/shrinking-a-virtualbox-disk/

(and yes, I did have too much fun making the section headings)

#virtualbox #vagrant #linux

I also discovered that #debian do not build #libvirt #vagrant box anymore so there is no debian13 available :(
Of course I still can build one by hand, or use #packer or one of those two projects which wraps it: https://github.com/chef/bento or https://github.com/boxcutter/kvm (if I absolutely need to use vagrant)

#sysadmin #infrastructureascode #iac #configurationmanagement

Therefore it's time to evaluate #lima https://lima-vm.io/ which seems to be a direct #vagrant alternative and I found a #molecule driver https://github.com/filatof/molecule-lima.

Give up, use VM then. #vagrant is nice.

Cómo instalar Virtualbox 7.2 y vagrant 2.4.9 en Debian 13 Trixie

#Vagrant free software dismissal is starting to get a problem. No trixie boxes etc ..

What are your alternatives for ansible test deployments?

Automatically resize your LVM disk in Vagrant with a shell script that adjusts partitions, physical volumes, and logical volumes—no manual steps needed. Perfect for provisioning Ubuntu 24.04 boxes with VirtualBox. 💾📦 #DevOps #Vagrant #Linux #Automation #LVM

📦 Auto-growing disks in Vagrant: because 10 GB is never enough

Have you ever fired up a Vagrant VM, provisioned a project, pulled some Docker images, ran a build… and ran out of disk space halfway through? Welcome to my world. Apparently, the default disk size in Vagrant is tiny—and while you can specify a bigger virtual disk, Ubuntu won’t magically use the extra space. You need to resize the partition, the physical volume, the logical volume, and the filesystem. Every. Single. Time.

Enough of that nonsense.

🛠 The setup

Here’s the relevant […]

well i gotta admit, using #devcontainers in #devpod with #zed is actually kinda rad. i'm using it to tinker with #crystallang again tonight with my template repo. not the kinda workflow i ever thought i'd like but it reminds me of how i used to use #vagrant for this sort of thing back in the day with #ruby

my only annoyance is my container username is #vscode but whatever.

#cloudnative #dev

I've tried to run it under #Wine, but I could not make it work. The game only runs in some specific resolutions and color 16-bit color depth (which I managed to work around using Xephyr). I managed to install it under Wine and have it run. But I could not go farther than the initial screen.

So I installed #Windows 98 SE into a VM. Since I was at it, I created a #Vagrant image anyone can use. It has working display and audio drivers. Link below.

This way I (and whoever) can quickly launch a VM and install games from this era without having to deal with the quirks or Wine.

Can't find a vagrant image fedora/42-cloud-base

41 is present anyone knows why 42 is absent?

So I have been playing with the WriteFreely blog system. To check out if this would work for the use case I was asked about.

I built a vagrant-libvirt setup (using the usual vagrant/libvirt/Ansible approach) as well as a package for openSUSE. The setup uses my package on Leap and Tumbleweed or the upstream binary on a third branch. Another branch will set this up behind a Nginx reverse proxy.

I'll give the package a decent spin and then send it to a devel project to get it into Tumbleweed.

Here you are, have a lot of fun...
