Set Size Disk - Vagrant file

[Richard Stone]

Hi to all,

for a university project I must create a Vagrant Machine with VirtualBox as provider. I must write a script with provisioners that setup the machine and many programs.

Because I necessary of a 200 or 250 GB of disk size, how can I set up this option in the Vagrant file.

In other word, can the Vagrant File set an arbitrary amount of disk space, at the some time how can it set memory RAM and cpu numbers?

Is the disk size a parameter of the chosen box? (In my case ubuntu/trusty64)

Thanks for your time.


Best Regards

Pietro

hello

Vagrant will use a base box, and start from there.

There are ways to resize the disk etc but is not very portable.

you could do it once and re-package but in the long term is better you create your own box with the size of the disk you require.

for this hashicorp have a tool that create vagrantboxes from code.

packer.io

have a look at this project:

https://github.com/cbednarski/packer-ubuntu/blob/master/1404-min.json

Thats a trusty box

Any question, feel free to ask.

Alvaro.

Hi Alvaro,

thanks for the answer. I have find another hypothetical solution. After the download of the box, I go in the follow path:

/.vagrant.d/boxes/ubuntu-VAGRANTSLASH-trusty64/20170307.0.0/virtualbox


in this folder there is the file box.ovf. In this file I can modify the dimension of the disk. This solution isn't elegant and I don't know if it works.

My another question is: Can I make up a Vagrant Machine in another Vagrant Machine? I work in a Vagrant Machine running on a server. I must create a new Vagrant Machine in this running Vagrant Machine. Is this possible? All the operations must be made only by terminal!

What do you tell me? Which ways must I follow?

Thanks

Pietro
