Vagrant with Xen/KVM

[Lucas S.]

It will be possible, in next releases, use vagrant with xen or kvm,
instead of vbox?

What about the boxes, is there any repository to find them? I'm
looking for configured boxes with LAMP and django stacks.

I think there was an issue open for lxc may be see if my memory is
correct and subscribe to the issue.

I don't know myself if in next release but I've read about plans for it. Maybe someone else here can comment on this one?

You can find list of base boxes on vagrant's github wiki:
https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/wiki/Available-Vagrant-Boxes

to provision them you can find tons of chef cookbooks here:
https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks (apache2, mysql, php, ...)

here I've found something for django:
https://github.com/ericholscher/chef-django-example

but with some searching I believe you can find more...

Good luck!

I think Mitchell has been looking at libvert which would allow for
this, but it's a sizable change.

You can find lots of base boxes on http://www.vagrantbox.es/
(disclaimer: I maintain the site).

Personally I tend to favour plain OS base boxes, then using Chef or
Puppet to provision the relevant services. The main reason is that
their isn't really one LAMP stack, and their certainly isn't one
django stack.

Here are links to puppet/chef manifests/recipes for Django for instance:

https://github.com/easel/puppet-django-stack
http://www.opscode.com/blog/2011/05/23/deploy-django-cms-with-chef/
https://gist.github.com/701221
http://ericholscher.com/blog/2010/nov/8/building-django-app-server-chef/

All look good, all are subtly different. Gunicorn vs mod_wsgi, to
nginx or not?, memcached?, varnish?, mysql vs postgresql

If you really want a basebox with your particular stack I'd recommend
taking a basebox, installing what you require via chef/puppet, then
packaging up the resulting box with veewee.

Yes, this will be possible.

More details on this: The current plan is to work on performance and minor features to a 1.0 release (soon). This will be a stable release that people can hang on to for awhile. After 1.0, I plan on radically changing things, which will help support multiple hypervisors, as well as generally make things easier to install, easier to maintain, etc. I hope to have 1.0 out before the end of summer (September).

The undertaking involved in supporting multiple hypervisors was just too much and too uncertain to mix into Vagrant right now, and would introduce a vast amount of instability, which I'd like to hold off on as we are already at 0.7.

I'm setting out this and next week to get  libvirt into fog library.

So that might ease future vagrant integrations. FYI. fog is a cloud abstraction library in ruby and now already has virtualbox too.

Hi Mitchell,

Are there still plans for this?  I'm looking for a tool to easily spin up new VMs in a production environment, preferably on Xen.

Thanks,
Bradford

I haven't seen working plugins for KVM or Xen, although I'd like KVM (could assist in making it if Vagrant core is getting ready to accept an alternative plugin over VirtualBox).

But I have seen work getting prepared to support more than just VirtualBox :-)

Here is the core merge that pulls VirtualBox basically out into a plugin: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/commit/391dc392675c73518ebf04252d824fe916e8860b

Thanks in advance.

In the meantime you might want to use - https://github.com/jedi4ever/mccloud

It has ec2, kvm and vagrant support.
