Usage as vagrant plug-in

The typical cycle that just rocks:

Note: chef (as puppet) is installed during the build

$ vagrant basebox define 'myubuntu' 'ubuntu-12.10-amd64'
$ vi definitions/myunbuntu/definition.rb
     --> tune vRAM ?
$ vi definitions/myunbuntu/postinstall.sh 
     --> change ssh public key ?
$ vagrant basebox  build 'myubuntu'
$ vagrant basebox  validate 'myubuntu'
$ vagrant basebox  export 'myubuntu'

$ vagrant box add 'myubuntu' 'myubuntu.box'
$ vagrant init 'mybuntu'
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

Other veewee commands

  • veewee vbox up 'myfirstbox' to start an existing vm with virtualbox, but outside from vagrant
  • veewee vbox list to list existing definitions
  • veewee vbox undefine 'myubuntu' to remove a definition

Troubleshooting the Installation on Mac OS X (10.7)

Context/History:

  • macox 10.7, with Xcode cl-tools will be updated from 4.3.x(?) to 4.5.2
  • when entering in 'veewee' folder, I receive a warning to invite me to install 1.9.2-p320 (note I had already two older build/version of 1.9.2, but veewee requires p320):
   ruby-1.8.7-p352 [ i686 ]
   ruby-1.9.2-p180 [ x86_64 ]
=> ruby-1.9.2-p320 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.9.3-p286 [ x86_64 ]
  • when running rvm -debug install 1.9.2, I get following warning: No binary rubies available for: osx/10.7/x86_64/ruby-1.9.2-p320. and thus rvm tries to install ruby from source... but it fails: because of a library conflict/duplicate : libiconv is standard installed from macosx in /usr/lib/libiconv.*, but I also have a version in /usr/local/lib/libiconv.*. There are some known problems around:
  • http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html
  • https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/442. A fix may consist to install the brew version, and override autoconf/configure/make parameters to force to use this library (or take the risk to brew link it)
  • I ran brew doctor, that stressed many warnings, where 2 things sound important to me:
  • the libiconv files were not installed/managed my a brew package...
  • recommend to install the latest Mac Command Line Tools from Apple, what I did BTW.
  • I backup the libiconv files and removed them from /usr/local/lib:
-rwxrwxr-x  1 gilles  gilles  2014520 27 oct  2009 libiconv.2.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 gilles  gilles       16  4 nov 01:03 libiconv.dylib -> libiconv.2.dylib
-rwxrwxr-x  1 gilles  gilles      908 27 oct  2009 libiconv.la

After I disabled this libaries and rebooted the mac, I could find the owner: gnupg + MacGPG2 plugin for Mail App. Actually brew doctor warns about MacGPG2 conflicting setup:

Warning: You may have installed MacGPG2 via the package installer.
Several other checks in this script will turn up problems, such as stray
dylibs in /usr/local and permissions issues with share and man in /usr/local/.

  • now the installation from source of ruby 1.9.2-p320 succeeds and I could enjoy peewee magic :-)
