Running Vagrant inside the VMWare.

[Ashwin cy]

Hello,

I am trying to run vagrant inside VMWare, I have installed all the necessary dependencies. I want to run virtualbox  with headless ubuntu image with vagrant, But when I give "vagrant up" , I am facing several problems. So here are few questions I need to understand

1. Is it possible to run Vagrant inside VMWare?

2. Is it possible to instantiate virtualbox inside VMware?

If anybody has worked on similar way please do provide input.

Regards.

Ashwin

I do this sometimes, usually with ubuntu in the vmware, but ive tried it with windows 7 and 10 and both worked.

what your looking for is nested virtualization. enable hypervisor applications. in vmware-fusion this is processors & memory/advanced options. the libvirt (kvm) provider works better than virtualbox when you nest it, but both run fine.

also tried it in vmware player on a linux host and that worked too.

Hello,

Its posible. Just ensure the VMWare box have all the virtualization capabilities enabled to do nested virtualization.

Any particular reason no to running virtualbox on a physical host?
