Re: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki-Vagrant now has support for install in Linux Containers (LXC)

I have also now gotten MediaWiki-Vagrant working directly on the Parallels provider: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/198280/ 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

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

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 Vagrant

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 sharing a VM between Vagrant and a Linux GUI used for testing or specialty apps.

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 the
