Vagrant Cloud Upload Large Files

[Jordan Borean]

Hi

Sorry if this isn't the right area to ask this but I upload some large vagrant boxes to Vagrant Cloud on a somewhat regular basis and was wondering if there was a way to upload the box in smaller chunks instead of one big go. I find that I regularly get failures when uploading and that could mean I need to start from the beginning again. This means that I have potentially wasted 5GB of bandwidth for nothing.

Thanks

Jordan

Had that problem in the past, and could only upload using aws and a mv.

To uploaded to S3 with chunks with a tool that I don’t remember now ...

Thanks Mário

I suppose beggars can't be choosers considering they are storing my boxes for free. I'll look into storing them on S3 and sharing the URL instead of uploading directly, that may be better for me in the end.

Thanks

No problem,

I've did that for a while, but having the box in the vagrant cloud allows the users to just do vagrant up from a Vagrantfile, without additional commands.

I've used this script to upload the box from a ubuntu vm.

#!/bin/bash
export VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN=<add token>

# Goto https://app.vagrantup.com/settings/security and generate a token.

provider=virtualbox
version=0.0.1
name=windows-10-1709-base-winrm
username=<your-username>

# GET /api/v1/box/:username/:name/version/:version/provider/:provider/upload
# Prepare the provider for upload/get an upload URL
response=$(curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN" \
  https://app.vagrantup.com/api/v1/box/$username/$name/version/$version/provider/virtualbox/upload)

# Requires the jq command
upload_path=$(echo $response | jq .upload_path -r)

curl \
  $upload_path \
  --request PUT \
  --upload-file windows-10-1709-base-winrm.box

you can check here the original script, https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/vagrant-cloud/api.html#upload-a-provider, I've just modified the "jq . upload_path -r" as it is required in ubuntu.
