I have also now gotten MediaWiki-Vagrant working directly on the Parallels
provider:

The stock Ubuntu box for Parallels doesn't include Puppet, but there's a
Vagrant plugin for installing puppet which seems to work fine. (Didn't have
luck with the puphpe

But MediaWiki-Vagrant uses a "stock VM". Its Vagrantfile loads a

I did a quick test running vagrant with the lxc provider inside Ubuntu
14.10 in a Parallels VM on my Mac -- it works!
(Didn't yet try re-exporting the /vagrant dirs to the host Mac OS X system
but it should be doable using standard sharing tools.)
Downside currently is that it doesn't seem to supp

Awesome!
Is it possible to use a Linux VM as the actual LXC container on a Mac or
Windows host system, as with Vagrant's Docker provider?
This could allow consolidating multiple Vagrant instances on one VM, or

apps.
Well,
I've just tried it and it seems to be working well! I heard that some OSX

Thanks a ton, Bryan!
I know many users have been concerned with the hefty memory requirements
(not to mention VT-x requirements) of MW-Vagrant+VirtualBox, especially on
lower end hardware. This should be a huge help.
Labs users can definitely look to benefit from this feature as well (once

We have working support for installing MediaWiki-Vagrant in an LXC
container now!
See the instructions in support/README-lxc.md [0] for a description of
how to use it from a Ubuntu 14.04 host computer. Patches are welcome
giving alternate instructions for other distributions. Note that
