Unable to create a vagrant machine [Windows Enterprise 7]

[Jim Jim]

Hey Guys,

Trying to create a vagrant machine and it is failing with following error:

C:\OnlyOnMyPC\Vagrant-VM's\windows7-enterprise>telnet vagrantboxes.devopslive.or

g 80

Connecting To vagrantboxes.devopslive.org...Could not open connection to the hos

t, on port 80: Connect failed

C:\OnlyOnMyPC\Vagrant-VM's\windows7-enterprise>vagrant box add win7ent http://va

grantboxes.devopslive.org/windows-7-enterprise-i386.box

==> box: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly...

==> box: Adding box 'win7ent' (v0) for provider:

    box: Downloading: http://vagrantboxes.devopslive.org/windows-7-enterprise-i3

86.box

    box: Progress: 0% (Rate: 0curl:/s, Estimated time remaining: --:--:--)

An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error

message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try

again.

Failed to connect to vagrantboxes.devopslive.org port 80: Connection refused

Any idea why it failing ?

Cheers

hello.

Its failing because there is no webserver/box/files on that url.

Try boxes from here:

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/search

Hi Alvaro,

Thanks for that I realized later but url what you have provided is really helpful except downloading the boxes is taking forever.

Is there any quicker way to download the vagrant boxes? may be torrent or via browser?

Please advise.

Kind Regards,

Jim

Thanks

vagrant can use:

config.vm.box = "name"

config.vm.box_url = "url"

and you could use a local path for boxes you have already donloaded

say file:///path/mybox.box

or you can add a box locally like

vagrant box --name <name>  file

where file can be local path or some url that curl read.. i think http/https/ftp (??)

so if you distribute/download boxes from torrent, you can just point to the local file

Alvaro,

I think you didn't got my point.

C:\OnlyOnMyPC\Vagrant-VM's\windows2012server>vagrant box add opentable/win-2012r

2-standard-amd64-nocm https://atlas.hashicorp.com/opentable/boxes/win-2012r2-sta

ndard-amd64-nocm

==> box: Loading metadata for box 'https://atlas.hashicorp.com/opentable/boxes/w

in-2012r2-standard-amd64-nocm'

This box can work with multiple providers! The providers that it

can work with are listed below. Please review the list and choose

the provider you will be working with.

1) virtualbox

2) vmware_desktop

Enter your choice: 1

==> box: Adding box 'opentable/win-2012r2-standard-amd64-nocm' (v1.0.0) for prov

ider: virtualbox

    box: Downloading: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/opentable/boxes/win-2012r2-sta

ndard-amd64-nocm/versions/1.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box

==> box: Box download is resuming from prior download progress

    box: Progress: 0% (Rate: 51131/s, Estimated time remaining: 4:45:27))

Does this explain the problem?

Not sure who closed this ticket,

Hello.

The box is:

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/opentable/boxes/win-2012r2-standard-amd64-nocm

If you read the info it says "external" that means the box is not hosted in atlas, so it goes redirected to some other server.

Why is slow? question to the owner of the box.

it seems the box is hosted in AWS, but not sure why is slow from where you are located.

ie

https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ot-vagrantcloud/windows/windows-2012R2-serverstandard-amd64/windows-2012R2-serverstandard-amd64_virtualbox.box

As for the ticket, this particular box is not hosted in atlas, so not sure what is the expectation.

Thanks

Alvaro.

[Jim Jim]

Well, the expectation of consumer would be 'to be able to download the vagrant image' without much time. I believe there should be a internal atlas public repository for all images?

Cheers

Jim
