Got my Vagrant freak on and I'm loving it but now I want more.... So the team is building boxes locally using VirtualBox as a provider using chef/vagrant source from a Git repo, yaay. But they want to be able to build multiple boxes on their laptops. I initially told them to simply re-clone the repo into a different directory and vagrant up from there and that worked as the VB provider will put a timestamp in the machine name and thus each machine from each directory will have a unique name in VirtualBox. But then the team wanted the version of our s/w in the name (as they build machines from many sources and wanted to know which was which in the VirtualBox GUI) so I added a "vb.name = $version" type entry which gives a nice name with a version number but also drops the timestamp and thus prevents them from building the same versioned machine in another directory as that machine will have the same name. So I added a nicety but broke what is to them, a feature.
So I guess really I'd like to be able to specify a machine name using the version of our s/w but the remainder of the machine name is random in some fashion (and persists across reboots). Am I asking too much? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Vagrant" group.
