I started playing with a setup based on that Tao of Mac post on Sunday but I didn't get to the point of having a fully working solution yet. With a little more experimentation I hope to have a Vagrantfile and base box that you could drop in $HOME or a similar common directory that boots a Linux VM that is all setup to run vagrant-lxc inside it. In the short term I'll probably focus more on the labs-vagrant replacement use case in my spare time however so feel free to beat me to the more general solution. :) Bryan -- Bryan Davis Wikimedia Foundation <bd...@wikimedia.org> [[m:User:BDavis_(WMF)]] Sr Software Engineer Boise, ID USA irc: bd808 v:415.839.6885 x6855 _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
