Graceful shutdown on pc turnoff

[in...@videlin.eu]

Hello,

I am searching for a way to gracefully shutdown my vagrant box when I turn of my pc.

I am constantly forgetting to halt the box before the system shut down and next time the box is corrupted (my databases are lost and I should provision the box again)

I have tried to write a simple bat file that would execute the `vagrant halt` command and then add it to the shutdown scripts of windows (as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12434863/executing-a-batch-script-on-windows-shutdown?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa)

but then it seems that Virtualbox is suspending the box before the bat file is executed.

Any suggestions?

My system spec:

OS: Windows 10 x64

Vagrant provider: Virtualbox 5.2

Hello

Seems per this post:

https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=53684

you can override per box what to do on host shutdown.. default is suspend, you can do poweroff like

setextradata "VM NAME" GUI/DefaultCloseAction Shutdown

This can be implemented like this:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise64"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|

    v.customize ["setextradata", :id, "GUI/DefaultCloseAction", "Shutdown"]

  end

end

you can add that per VM, or place a Vagrantfile in ~/.vagrant.d that will be a global one.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|

    v.customize ["setextradata", :id, "GUI/DefaultCloseAction", "Shutdown"]

  end

end

Amazing!!!

Thank you so much for the great reply!

I just tested it with restart and shutdown of the OS and in both cases, the box is not corrupted.
