Installs Vagrant 1.1+ and manages vagrant plugins w/ a custom resource.

• Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/

This cookbook is not intended to be used for vagrant "1.0" (gem install) versions. A recipe is provided for removing the gem, see Recipes.

Tested on Chef 11:

• Debian 6
• CentOS 6.3

May work on other Debian/RHEL family distributions with or without modification.

Support exists for Windows and OS X but this has not yet been tested.

The URL and Checksum attributes must be set, see Attributes

Because Vagrant is installed as a native system package, Chef must run as a privileged user (e.g., root).

The following attributes must be set.

• node['vagrant']['url'] - URL to the Vagrant installation package.
• node['vagrant']['checksum'] - SHA256 checksum of the Vagrant installation package.

If the node is Windows, the MSI version must be set. This is used by the windows_package resource to determine if the package is installed.

• node['vagrant']['msi_version'] - Version string of the installed MSI "package" on Windows.

The following attribute is optional.

• node['vagrant']['plugins'] - An array of plugins. The elements in the array can be a string or a hash. String elements should be the names of plugins to install. Hash elements should have two keys, "name" and "version", for the plugin name and its version to install. This is used by the vagrant_plugin resource in the default recipe.

This cookbook includes the vagrant_plugin resource, for managing vagrant plugins.

• :install: installs the specified plugin. Default.
• :uninstall: uninstalls the specified plugin
• :remove: uninstalls the specified plugin

• :plugin_name: name attribute, the name of the plugin, e.g. "vagrant-omnibus".
• :version: version of the plugin to installed, must be specified as a string, e.g., "1.0.2"

vagrant_plugin "vagrant-omnibus"

vagrant_plugin "vagrant-berkshelf"
  version "1.2.0"
end

The default recipe includes the platform-family specific recipe to install Vagrant. It then iterates over the node['vagrant']['plugins'] attribute to install any required vagrant plugins.

These are the platform family recipes included by the default recipe. The fedora recipe will include rhel.

This recipe will attempt to uninstall the vagrant gem with the gem_package and chef_gem resources. Meaning, it will use the gem binary in the PATH of the shell executing Chef to uninstall, and then use Chef's built-in RubyGems to uninstall. If you have a customized Ruby environment, such as with rbenv or rvm (or other), you may need to manually remove and clean up anything leftover, such as running rbenv rehash. Likewise, if you have multiple copies of the vagrant gem installed, you'll need to clean up all versions. This recipe won't support such craziness :-).

Set the url and checksum attributes on the node. Do this in a role, or a "wrapper" cookbook.

Then include the default recipe on the node's run list.

To specify plugins for installation in the default recipe, specify an array for the node['vagrant']['plugins'] attribute. For example, to install the vagrant-omnibus plugin (any version) and version "1.2.0" of the vagrant-berkshelf plugin:

node.set['vagrant']['plugins'] = [
  "vagrant-omnibus",
  {"name" => "vagrant-berkshelf", "version" => "1.2.0"}
]

See the attribute description above.
