A Basic Vagrantfile

A Vagrantfile is a Ruby file that instructs Vagrant on how to create a new box. Here is a simple example:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "hashicorp/bionic64"
  config.vm.provision :shell, path: "bootstrap.sh"
end

Vagrant.configure("2") returns the Vagrant configuration object for the new box. In the block, we'll use the config alias to refer this object. We are going to use the version 2 of Vagrant API.

vm.box is the base box that we are going to use. It is Ubuntu BionicBeaver (18.04 LTS), 64 bits version, provided by HashiCorp. The schema for box names is simple: the maintainer account in Vagrant Cloud followed by the box name.

We use vm.provision to specify the name of the file that is going to be executed at box creation, to provision the machine. bootstrap.sh is the conventional name used in most cases.

bootstrap.sh
