* Package name : vagrant-hostmanager Version : 1.8.8 Upstream Author : Shawn Dalen, Paulo Bittencourt, Seth Reeser, and contributors * URL : https://github.com/devopsgroup-io/vagrant-hostmanager/graphs/contributors * License : MPL-2.0 Programming Lang: Ruby Description : A plugin for Vagrant which manages entries in the hosts file for guests and, optionally, the host system >From the project description: vagrant-hostmanager is a Vagrant plugin that >manages the hosts file on guest machines (and optionally the host). Its goal >is to enable resolution of multi-machine environments deployed with a cloud >provider where IP addresses are not known in advance. Without using a plugin like this, host entries must be managed manually - especially when using dynamic IP allocation. Host entries in guests could be managed by provisioners in Vagrant files, or possibly some type of dnsmasq configurations. These options are either labour-intensive or complex. There are some other vagrant plugins that provide similar functionality, such as vagrant-hosts (https://github.com/oscar-stack/vagrant-hosts) which is limited to static IPs. From what I've seen, there are no packages presently in debian that offer similar I don't know ruby particularly well, nor the internals of vagrant plugins. I plan to maintain the package by following upstream releases. I will need a sponsor for the package. Thanks, Kienan
