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
Just add a Vagrant::Boxen::Provisioner
to your Vagrantfile:
require 'vagrant-boxen'
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
# ... other settings ...
config.vm.provision Vagrant::Boxen::Provisioner do |boxen|
# Install redis and memcached with defaults
boxen.install :redis, :memcached
# or specify configuration options for the module
boxen.redis {
port '1234'
memory '1gb'
}
end
end
While the modules provided might work on most linux distributions, I'm developing against an 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 generate a puppet manifest based on the configured modules that will get
passed to a Vagrant::Provisioners::Puppet
configured to use the bundled puppet modules.
