Multi-machine Vagrant file to use one VM?

[Gregory Schultz]

Hello,

I design websites and would like to start using multi-machine setup. Is it possible to use one VM for each config in a multi-machine setup? I don't need all VMs on at the same time, just one at a time. Each config file loads the sync folder.

This is my Vagrantfile so far:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: 8080, guest: 80
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "172.28.128.3"

config.vm.define "myoffercode" do |vm1|
    vm1.vm.synced_folder "/Users/gregoryschultz/Sites/myoffercode", "/var/www/html"
end

config.vm.define "dailybayou" do |vm2|
    vm2.vm.synced_folder "/Users/gregoryschultz/Sites/dailybayou", "/var/www/html"
end
end

Instead of a single Vagrantfile for all of your projects, why don't you have a Vagrantfile inside of each of those projects? Its simpler that way, and you just need to go into the project directory and do a simple vagrant up.

Anyways, if you really want to use a single Vagrantfile, I don't quite understood you. Do you want to share the config.vm between the VMs and only change the synced_folder? if so, its a matter of placing the configuration outside the config.vm.define blocks.

Usually the Vagrantfile lives with the code, so is part of the version control, the provisioning scripts to create the VM can be used later to deploy the app/code into production, etc.

If you want to have a big Vagrantifile like that, it will work, there is a way to stop the VMs starting if you do a vagrant up, add  autostart: false to the define.

At the end, use what ever make more sense for your workflow :)
