Can anyone guide me to how do I include variables in my VagrantFile? I am trying to inject configs into the Vagrantfile from an external file so that I can distribute the config to my colleagues without having them to hardcode configs directly on the Vagrantfile.
I had thought that since it was Ruby based I could just include a Ruby file but I get an error Message: unintialized constant MyVars
My VagrantFile simplified
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
require 'vagrant.rb'
include MyVars
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# Web
config.vm.define :joe do |joe|
joe.vm.box = "precise64_4.2.12"
joe.vm.hostname = WEBVMNAME
joe.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.140.141"
# Port Forwarding
joe.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 22, host: 2201
joe.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
# Bootstrap Bash Script
joe.vm.provision :shell, :path => "bootstrap.sh"
end
end
And vagrant.rb contains
module MyVars
WEBVMNAME = "rex"
end
Do note that I am also a newbie at Ruby so I am not sure as well if its just the syntax I got wrong?
Edit: Updated code I am using
VAGRANT_HOME can be set to change the directory where Vagrant stores global state. By default, this is set to ~/. vagrant.
The Vagrantfile is a Ruby file used to configure Vagrant on a per-project basis. The main function of the Vagrantfile is to described the virtual machines required for a project as well as how to configure and provision these machines.
I use the approach of https://puphpet.com, I create a file config.yaml in the same directory of the Vagrantfile and...
In my Vagrantfile:
# encoding: utf-8
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
require 'yaml'
current_dir = File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))
configs = YAML.load_file("#{current_dir}/config.yaml")
vagrant_config = configs['configs'][configs['configs']['use']]
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
config.vm.network 'public_network', ip: vagrant_config['public_ip']
...
In my config.yaml:
---
configs:
use: 'home'
office:
public_ip: '192.168.2.117'
<more variables>...
home:
public_ip: '192.168.1.117'
<more variables>...
Use require_relative
:
require_relative 'vagrant.rb'
include MyVars
