Re: Restart VM during Vagrant provisioning

[wenlock]

I had the same problem when implementing host_name change on cygwin guest.   Best answer I was able to find then was:

vm.action("reload")

I'm not sure how to get a vm object out of env object though.

I'd be interested in finding out if there is a good solution for that.

Thanks,

Edward

Hi,

I am trying to setup vagrant + chef configuration. One of provisioning actions requires me to change locales on the server. When I change locales I must restart VM or relogin to that take effect. Any idea if it is possible in Vagrant?

Here is a solution that I'm using.

This allows you to add 

config.vm.provision :reboot

to reboot

Simple and effective. It just reboot the VM, wait for it to reboot and remount shared folders.

This is for Windows VM but you can adapt it easily for other OSes.

This works with the VirtualBox provider. Again, it shouldn't be to hard to adapt it for other providers.
