Vagrant VM Readme

Purpose

Welcome to the custom Vagrant box tailored to provide a clean and efficient development environment. This box is designed with a focus on simplicity and is configured to meet my specific needs. While it may not include every tool you require, it serves as an excellent foundation for further customization.

Environment Details

This box has been built and tested on Vmware Workstation 17.

Ansible Configuration

The box has been meticulously configured using a combination of Vagrant and Ansible. All Ansible playbooks used in this configuration can be found in the $HOME\ansible directory for your reference.

I am slowly working on getting 100% test coverage using Molecule - also included in $HOME\ansible .

Extra Configuration

TMUX

If using tmux, be sure to install plugins with TPM:

tmux
prefix (ctrl+space) + I

• The leader/prefix has been set to ctrl+space

Powerlevel10k

If needing to configure p10k, run following:

powerlevel10k configure

Change default shell

Bash

chsh -s $(which bash)

zsh

chsh -s $(which zsh)

• Takes effect after logging out and back in again.

Known Issues:

Disk Size Mismatch

Despite specifying a disk size of 64GB during the packer install of bento, the filesystem ends up being 32GB with the VMWare image showing as 64GB. To address this, the Vagrant user has the option to manually expand the disk to its full 64GB capacity.

Please note that attempts to perform this operation during the original provisioning resulted in timeouts, likely due to the substantial write operation involved in expanding the disk at high speeds. For a smoother experience, it's recommended to perform this expansion manually:

sudo lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

Missing Ansible collections

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general --force

Disk Size Mismatch

Despite specifying a disk size of 64GB during the packer install of bento, the filesystem ends up being 32GB with the VMWare image showing as 64GB. To address this, the Vagrant user has the option to manually expand the disk to its full 64GB capacity.

Please note that attempts to perform this operation during the original provisioning resulted in timeouts, likely due to the substantial write operation involved in expanding the disk at high speeds. For a smoother experience, it's recommended to perform this expansion manually:

sudo lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

Happy coding!
