Vagrant plugins release fest

[Fábio Rehm]

Hey folks,

This has been a busy week down here with lots of releases :-)

Both vagrant-lxc and vagrant-pristine have been upgraded to support Vagrant 1.3+, vagrant-cachier has been fixed to support Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 guests and vocker had several releases while I was working on a new tool called Ventriloquist.

Ventriloquist is a Vagrant + Docker combo that aims to be an easy way of configuring development VMs. If you want to know more about it check out the project's README and this blog post http://fabiorehm.com/blog/2013/09/11/announcing-ventriloquist

As you might have read on Mitchell's 1.3.0 announcement, there is a plan to support Docker as a first class provisioner within Vagrant's core on a future version. If you think you'll be using it feel free to experiment with the combo using vocker and / or Ventriloquist so that things are in a better shape before it gets into core ;)

Happy hacking!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that thanks to Zsolt Takács (@oker1) vagrant-lxc we now have documentation on setting things up for Debian hosts and I hope that soon we'll have docs for Arch Linux hosts too as @riccieri has reported that he was able to set it up over there too according to this comment :)

Cheers!

This are great news!

I discovered via GitHub Archive newsletter and started to use it, really great to kick a simple VM in a bare machine just installed.

Thank you for sharing this work with everybody and saving huge number of hours to those who, like you, prefer develop instead of doing devops/sysadmin tasks with their time.

Regards,
