VAGRANT TEMPLATED PLUGIN

Vagrant Templated is Vagrant plugin that add a new vagrant action to start a new Project. You will be able to choose between templates and start with a project with a Vagrantfile (and Berksfile) with cookbooks and configurations already configured.

I started this gem because every time I start a new project, for production or just testing something, after the traditional vagrant init I had look in others projects looking for a specific configuration (for example, a Rails 5 project)

With vagrant:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-templated

To use the Vagranfile and Berksfile created, you will need chefdk, vagrant-berkshelf and vagrant-omnibus.

The new init action runs like this:

vagrant templated init <template> [version]

The templates available at this moment are:

• base
  • 1.0: apt and timezone update
• vagrant-plugin:
  • 1.9: base, rbenv, ruby 2.3 and bundler
• django:
  • 1.11: base, pyenv and python 2/3
• rails:
  • 5.1: base, rbenv, ruby 2.4, bundler, node and postgresql
• nodejs:
  • 6.11: base, nodenv and node 6.11

In both cases a Vagrantfile and a Berksfile will be generated where you executing the command. You should adapt these files to you projects, but it should work as a starting point.

After checking out the repo, you just should vagrant up and enter the matrix. Everything is at /vagrant.

Inside the box run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rake spec to run the tests. Run bundle exec vagrant templated init -h and help will arise.

• Add multiple choices for some components. For example, rails5 add postgresql by default, but it could be mysql or sqlite3 (that what I have used). Maybe it would better to add everything and leave everything commented but one default.
• Display ad hoc tips when new files are created
• Add tips as a command
