Overview

This is the base class for a provider for the V2 API. A provider is responsible for creating compute resources to match the needs of a Vagrant-configured system.

Constructor Details

#initialize(machine) ⇒ Provider

Initialize the provider to represent the given machine.

Parameters:

  • machine (Vagrant::Machine) —

    The machine that this provider is responsible for.

Class Method Details

.installed? ⇒ Boolean

This is called early, before a machine is instantiated, to check if this provider is installed. This should return true or false.

If the provider is not installed and Vagrant determines it is able to install this provider, then it will do so. Installation is done by calling Environment.install_provider.

If Environment.can_install_provider? returns false, then an error will be shown to the user.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def self.installed?
  # By default return true for backwards compat so all providers
  # continue to work.
  true
end

.usable?(raise_error = false) ⇒ Boolean

This is called early, before a machine is instantiated, to check if this provider is usable. This should return true or false.

If raise_error is true, then instead of returning false, this should raise an error with a helpful message about why this provider cannot be used.

Parameters:

  • raise_error (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    If true, raise exception if not usable.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

  true
end

Instance Method Details

#_initialize(name, machine) ⇒ Object

This is an internal initialize function that should never be overridden. It is used to initialize some common internal state that is used in a provider.

  initialize_capabilities!(
    name.to_sym,
    { name.to_sym => [Class.new, nil] },
    Vagrant.plugin("2").manager.provider_capabilities,
    machine,
  )
end

#action(name) ⇒ Object

This should return an action callable for the given name.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    Name of the action.

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    A callable action sequence object, whether it is a proc, object, etc.

end

#machine_id_changed ⇒ Object

This method is called if the underlying machine ID changes. Providers can use this method to load in new data for the actual backing machine or to realize that the machine is now gone (the ID can become nil). No parameters are given, since the underlying machine is simply the machine instance given to this object. And no return value is necessary.

def machine_id_changed
end

#ssh_info ⇒ Hash

This should return a hash of information that explains how to SSH into the machine. If the machine is not at a point where SSH is even possible, then nil should be returned.

The general structure of this returned hash should be the following:

{
  host: "1.2.3.4",
  port: "22",
  username: "mitchellh",
  private_key_path: "/path/to/my/key"
}

Note: Vagrant only supports private key based authentication, mainly for the reason that there is no easy way to exec into an ssh prompt with a password, whereas we can pass a private key via commandline.

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    SSH information. For the structure of this hash read the accompanying documentation for this method.

#state ⇒ MachineState

This should return the state of the machine within this provider. The state must be an instance of MachineState. Please read the documentation of that class for more information.
