vagrant-save

This is a simple plugin to export boxes into .box files using vagrant-export and pushes that file to a boxserver instance.

Like with any other vagrant plugin:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-save

Have a boxserver instance running and set the property config.vm.box_server_url to its address in your vagrant file. So your Vagrantfile contains the following statements:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # This must be set
  config.vm.box_server_url = "http://localhost:8001"
end

Then just run

vagrant save

to release a new version of your box.

By default, it increases the bugfix version number by one. So an installed 1.0.0 becomes 1.0.1. You can specify the version yourself using the parameter -v|--version, like this:

vagrant save -v 1.2.0

The parameter must always have all three digits and must be greater than the installed version.

You may want to clean up the boxserver by deleting old versions. The -k|--keep parameter sets how many versions to keep. The versions are sorted in descending order, older than the newest X will be deleted:

# Keeping the last six versions
vagrant save -k 6

# No cleanup
vagrant save --no-clean

The default value for --keep is 2. Cleanup is enabled by default but can be disabled using --no-clean.
