Cannot attach VBox drive before Puppet Provisioning for Docker

[Francis Chan]

I'm constructing 1..N nodes for a Mesos test bed but I need to mount a secondary drive for the Docker to each node because CentOS is by default using the loopback device.

When I loop each node I have attach the drive so I can run Puppet to configure it for Docker prior to starting the Docker service.  The problem is that the vm.provider section seems to always have to be at the end of the vm.define.  Anywhere else results in a "block (2 levels) in <top (required)>...", in this example, it says "registry" is undefined.

Vagrant = 1.74

VBox = 5.0.1r (using this cause I had to upgrade to Win10)

Ignore the size of the drive, right now just trying to figure this part out.

I'm just running "vagrant status" to let it parse the file.

This works:

    (1..3).each do |i|

        config.vm.define "registry#{i}" do |registry|

            registry.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello"

            registry.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb_config|

                second_disk = File.join(ENV["VAGRANT_HOME"], "/registrydisk#{i}2.vdi" ).gsub(%r{\\}) { "/" }

                puts second_disk

                unless File.exist?(second_disk)

                    vb_config.customize ['createhd', '--filename', second_disk, '--size', 100 * 1024]

                end

                    vb_config.customize ['storageattach', :id, '--storagectl', 'IDE Controller', '--port', 1, '--device', 0, '--type', 'hdd', '--medium', second_disk]

                end

            end

        end

    end

This does not:

    (1..3).each do |i|

        config.vm.define "registry#{i}" do |registry|

            registry.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello"

            registry.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb_config|

                second_disk = File.join(ENV["VAGRANT_HOME"], "/registrydisk#{i}2.vdi" ).gsub(%r{\\}) { "/" }

                puts second_disk

                unless File.exist?(second_disk)

                    vb_config.customize ['createhd', '--filename', second_disk, '--size', 100 * 1024]

                end

                    vb_config.customize ['storageattach', :id, '--storagectl', 'IDE Controller', '--port', 1, '--device', 0, '--type', 'hdd', '--medium', second_disk]

                end

            end

            registry.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello again"

        end

    end

Hello,

as |i| is defined outside of |registry| you can try to use a global
virtualbox value


Something like this:


(1..3).each do |i|

config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb_config|

second_disk = File.join(ENV["VAGRANT_HOME"],
"/registrydisk#{i}2.vdi" ).gsub(%r{\\}) { "/" }
puts second_disk
unless File.exist?(second_disk)
vb_config.customize ['createhd', '--filename', second_disk,
'--size', 100 * 1024]
end
vb_config.customize ['storageattach', :id, '--storagectl',
'IDE Controller', '--port', 1, '--device', 0, '--type', 'hdd',
'--medium', second_disk]
end

config.vm.define "registry#{i}" do |registry|
registry.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello"

end
end
end
