Forwarding port 80 or 22 from #Vagrant virtual machines to their host system is fairly simple. Piping non-privileged ports outside the VM–from, say, a development HTTP server–requires not much extra work. Yet, it’s not always obvious how to do this. In this post, I explain how a #Jekyll development HTTP server running within a Vagrant VM can allow connections from its host and why the configuration works.

Rediscovering Vagrant after 15 years of not using it and realising it can be really damn useful... #Vagrant

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?

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.

Cómo instalar Virtualbox 7.2 y vagrant 2.4.9 en Debian 13 Trixie

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.

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.

Hey @fedora,

are there any plans to release the #Vagrant box for #Fedora42 to app.vagrantup.com?

There is already a box available on the Fedora server, but without metadata (which makes updates hard...).

https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/42/Cloud/x86_64/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-Vagrant-libvirt-42-1.1.x86_64.vagrant.libvirt.box

(I know Vagrant is no longer used widely and Hashicorp messed up with the whole licensing trouble, but having an existing box available easiy would really be appreciated nontheless...)

Have a nice day, everyone!

Having fun with the Ghost CMS.

The installation is only supported on Ubuntu. And is tailored to Ubuntu and thus does not recognized Nginx installations on other operating systems.

I put together a vagrant-libvirt setup using Ansible that does the tricky bits itself. Currently supporting AlmaLinux 10, openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 41, see the different branches.

This is a "production" setup of Ghost, i.e. using a MariaDB database instead of sqlite3.

Another day, another vagrant-libvirt setup.

This time for MariaDB, with a server VM and a client VM. As usual, vagrant, libvirt and Ansible do the heavy lifting.

In case you want to get your hands dirty with Traefik, Kubernetes and the new GatewayAPI, I got you covered.

Here is another vagrant-libvirt setup that has #k3s, #Traefik and a #Nginx deployment. Instead of using a #Kubernetes #ingress or a Traefik ingressroute, this setup uses the #GatewayAPI resources like Gateways and HTTPRoutes.

As usual, #Ansible does the heavy lifting and deploys everything in the cluster.
