Vagrant Masonry - Config Builder

Configure and manage your Vagrant environments using structured data.

Masonry is the craft of shaping rough pieces of rock into accurate geometrical shapes, at times simple, but some of considerable complexity, and then arranging the resulting stones to form structures.

This plugin provides an interface to the Vagrant configuration constructs in a logic free manner. You can format your input data to fit your needs and use vagrant-masonry to transform that into the needed Vagrant config.

This example loads all yaml files in the config directory and generates a Vagrant config based on that information. File names are arbitrary and chosen for clarity.

.
├── config
│   ├── roles.yaml
│   └── vms.yaml
└── Vagrantfile

For pure yaml configurations, use yaml loader:

require 'masonry'
Vagrant.configure('2', &ConfigBuilder.load(
  :yaml,
  :yamldir,
  File.expand_path('../config', __FILE__)
))

For yaml erb configurations, use yaml_erb loader:

require 'masonry'
Vagrant.configure('2', &ConfigBuilder.load(
  :yaml_erb,
  :yamldir,
  File.expand_path('../config', __FILE__)
))

The yaml_erb loader would allow configuration such as:

---

  puppet_apply:
    provisioners:
      - type: puppet
        manifests_path: 'tests'
        module_path: 'spec/fixtures/modules'
        manifest_file: <%= ENV['VAGRANT_MANIFEST'] || 'init.pp' %>
