Vagrantfile in C > Users > Username?

[Willem-Siebe Spoelstra]

Hi all,

In my personal 'C partition' location : C > Users > my Username I see beside the .vagrant, .vagrant.d, .VirtualBox and VirtualBox VMs folders also a 'Vagrantfile'.

Is it normal there is a Vagrantfile on this location or did it end up there by myself?

I just don't understand why it is there since the Vagrantfile is something you place in every project folder.

Looking further I found out there are actually other places where Vagrantfiles can be: http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vagrantfile/index.html

• Vagrantfile packaged with the box that is to be used for a given machine.
• Vagrantfile in your Vagrant home directory (defaults to ~/.vagrant.d). This lets you specify some defaults for your system user.
• Vagrantfile from the project directory. This is the Vagrantfile that you'll be modifying most of the time.
• Multi-machine overrides if any.
• Provider-specific overrides, if any.
  

I don't see anywhere mentioned the Vagrantfile I have in my "C > Users > my Username" folder. 

And I don't see any vagrantfile in my 'vagrant home directory', because when I open the .vagrant.d folder I don't see a Vagrantfile there.

Hope somebody can clearify these questions for me.

Kind regards,

Willem-Siebe Spoelstra

Hello,

You can have:

- Global Vagrantfile
- Box/Template Vagrantfile
- Project Vagrantfile

when you do vagrant <command>, Vagrant read all of those, can generate
what will be all the action list.

Think ~/.vagrant.d as the global Vagrantfile. useful if you want some
configuration to be in ALL the boxes you want to create

Then, there is a vagrantfile in the
~/.vagrant.d/boxes/<box/version>/include that is a Vagrantfile with
extra bits you want to have when you distribute a box

Plus, the my_project/Vagrantfile is where you have your very own customizations

Let me know if this make sense and helps to clarify.

Alvaro.

Hi,

That makes sense because it matches the explenation on the website of Vagrant.

To be sure: the Vagrant file that should be placed in the ".vagrant.d" folder is not there by default right? Only when I create one myself. Because it's not visible there right now:

And please als confirm that my Vagrantfile in my C > Users > my Username folder should not be there, since Vagrant will not be looking there for a Vagrantfile right? I don't know how this vagrantfile ended up there, but that's also the reason why I ask here first if I can remove this:

Kind regards,

Willem

What's in that file? What's the content?

You can move it out, and see if anything breaks :D

but I think is fine to delete.

Nothing special, only the " config.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise32" " setting from the getting started guide. 

I think I maybe opened git bash one time in my C > Users > myUsername folder and did a vagrant init there.

Since this location is not mentioned in the Vagrant docs about the Vagrant file, I just delete it.

Thanks for the quick help.
