[ANN] Removal of legacy Vagrant Cloud (Atlas) URLs next Friday (February 2nd)

[Justin Campbell]

If you're using Vagrant >= 1.9.6, you can safely ignore this notice. Otherwise, please read on for affected versions and a workaround.

For a period of time, Vagrant was released with a default Vagrant Cloud URL of https://atlas.hashicorp.com. Support for downloading Vagrant boxes from this domain will be removed on Friday, February 2nd, 2018. The correct URL is https://vagrantcloud.com.

Affected Vagrant versions and release dates:

>= 1.7.0 (12/9/2014),

< v1.9.6 (6/28/2017)

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of Vagrant (2.0.1) at https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

If you'd like to continue using the versions mentioned above, you'll need to set the VAGRANT_SERVER_URL environment variable in order for box downloads/updates to continue working:

    # macOS and Linux

    export VAGRANT_SERVER_URL="https://vagrantcloud.com"

    # Windows (CMD)

    set VAGRANT_SERVER_URL="https://vagrantcloud.com"

    # Windows (Powershell)

    $env:VAGRANT_SERVER_URL="https://vagrantcloud.com"

If you have any questions or concerns, you can reply here, or email support+va...@hashicorp.com.

I had trouble updating existing boxes, even though I am on the most recent version of Vagrant (v2.0.2). When I ran `vagrant box update`, Vagrant was looking for box metadata at atlas.hashicorp.com instead of vagrantcloud.com.

Here's how I solved the problem on macOS:

`~/.vagrant.d/boxes/ubuntu-VAGRANTSLASH-xenial64/metadata_url` contained `https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/xenial64`. I updated it to `https://vagrantcloud.com/ubuntu/xenial64` and now `vagrant box update` works again.

You appear to be a beginner at using mailing lists as well.

You've replied to an announcement from January 24th regarding a change in the
URL used to obtain pre-configured Vagrant boxes from Hashicorp.

Your question above makes no sense in that context.

Please either:

a) reply to the posting you want to ask for further details about

or

b) start a new thread with a subject appropriate to your question and tell us
what you need to know.

In either case, please tell us:

- what are you trying to achieve
- what have you tried so far to make this work
- what guides / tutorials / documentation have you followed
- what (specifically) did not work as expected?

That should give us enough information to help you with your problem.


Regards,


Antony.
