Multiple machines in an embedded Vagrantfile?

[Richard Wellum]

Is it possible to bring up multiple machines, with an embedded (./include/Vagrantfile)?

And if this is supported - what are the vagrant [init/add/up] steps? For example usually when you do vagrant up - you have to --name the VM - but there are multiple VM's defined in the Vagrantfile. Similar for vagrant init - it either does a default or expects a machine(vm) name.

Hello,

Lets move into steps first.

You can have a box that include a vagrantfile, and that vagrantfile can be a multi machine

so you can work first on getting the multi machine setup working.

vagrant by default will work with 1 vm, that is called default.

So in a multi node setup you can define new boxes, and vagrant up will start all of them

more info here:

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/multi-machine/

The order is top to botom

so if you want 3 web servers you can do

web3

web2

web1

if you need to happen something after 1 is done.

This is how I start 3 VM.

one called server and 2 called agent, so you can get some ideas:

  #server box

  config.vm.define "server" do |server|

    server.vm.box = "alvaro/oracle6-dev-491"

    server.vm.hostname = "server"

    ip="192.168.10.10"

    server.vm.network "private_network", ip: ip

  end

  #agent box

  (1..2).each do |i|

    vm_name = "agent#{i}"

    config.vm.define vm_name do |agent|

      agent.vm.box = "alvaro/oracle6-agent"

      agent.vm.hostname = vm_name

      ip="192.168.10.#{10+i}"

      agent.vm.network "private_network", ip: ip

    end

  end

Once the Vagrantfile is in place, vagrant status will check for all the boxes. ie:

mini:dev_consul kikitux$ vagrant status

Current machine states:

server                    not created (vmware_fusion)

agent1                    not created (vmware_fusion)

agent2                    not created (vmware_fusion)

This environment represents multiple VMs. The VMs are all listed

above with their current state. For more information about a specific

VM, run `vagrant status NAME`.

mini:dev_consul kikitux$
