Hivemind Plugin for Vagrant

Use Vagrant without ever configuring a Vagrantfile!

A Vagrant plugin for users who want to use Vagrant, but don't want to be bothered with Vagrant configuration. This is ideal for developers who just want something up and running in seconds.

Features

Create VM's with the least amount of knowledge

Hivemind provides the simplest of options for defining a VM: hostname, RAM allocation, and VM type.

Use the leanest base boxes

Make use of properly crafted base boxes with disk space optimization in mind. There's a box for your every need: server boxes or desktop boxes.

Networking is simple

The VM's are automatically connected in a private network and hostnames are resolvable using a simple mapping.

Installation

An existing installation of VirtualBox and Vagrant is required.

Run the following command to install the plugin:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hivemind

Quickstart

Initialize the working directory: the Hive!

$ vagrant hivemind init

Create a VM in the working directory: a Drone in the Hive!

$ vagrant hivemind spawn -n drone001

Start a VM in the working directory: get the Drone to work!

$ vagrant hivemind up -n drone001

For a list of available stuff:

$ vagrant hivemind --help

Configuration

Didn't I just say there's nothing to configure? No Vagrantfile, no Ruby config, no properties file!
