Vagrant::Boxen

Inspired by Rails Wizard and GitHub's Boxen, this gem attempts to lower the "entry barrier" of getting a manageable Vagrant machine targetted for development up and running without the need to learn Puppet or Chef.

Installation

If you use the gem version of Vagrant, use:

$ gem install vagrant-boxen

otherwise, use:

$ vagrant gem install vagrant-boxen

Usage

For now, the only module available is memcached and you can set it up on your Vagrantfile with:

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  # ... other settings ...
  config.vm.provision Vagrant::Boxen::Provisioner do |boxen|
    boxen.memcached!
  end
end

While the modules provided might work on most linux distributions, I'm testing it all the time on a Ubuntu 12.10 64bits box based on https://github.com/downloads/roderik/VagrantQuantal64Box/quantal64.box

How does it work?

Under the hood, Vagrant::Boxen::Provisioner will take care of generating the puppet manifest that will get passed to an instance of Vagrant::Provisioners::Puppet and will be applied to the guest machine.
