How to add Vagrant box and Virtual box machine (which is not installed via vagrant) to the same NAT network? - vagrant

I have a kali linux vagrant box installed, and I want it to connect to the same NAT Network with my vuln.hub lab (which is not installed via vagrant, just imported to VirtualBox). Apparently I do not see option for making NAT-Network mode enabled.
I tried the following but It won't work :/
config.vm.network:natnetwork "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"
Sorry If It is some basic question, just figuring the way for 3hours. And my default created NAT is isolated from vuln.hub
Thanks in advance guys!

Ubuntu - vagrant access from another computer

I have recently learned how to setup a virtual machine using vagrant (virtualbox), and I know how to access it from a web browser via the local adress such as 192.168.x.x:9292 since 9292 is the default gate. But I would like to access the server from another computer locally.
My question is if I could access it via cmd as I connect to it on my own with the command vagrant ssh but from another computer via a command like vagrant ssh 192.168.x.x?
As far as I understand you have to use external programs or setup something inside the vagrant environment? Is there a simple way to access the server or is it password protected? If I setup a website I can access that for example from another local machine but can I access files on the server (from another computer)?
I found how to connect to another computer locally by entering the vagrant environment, vagrant up --> vagrant ssh. And connected to another computer by typing in ssh vagrant#192.168.x.x where 192.168.x.x is the local address to the computer. The vagrant asks for a password and you type in the default password which I believe is vagrant and then you are connected to the other vagrant instance.
Assuming you have virtualbox provider for Vagrant you can achieve this by doing bridging the VBox network interface with Host.
Use this in Vagratfile (for public/private)
For Public
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.network "public_network",
use_dhcp_assigned_default_route: true
end
For Private
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.network "private_network", type: "dhcp"
end
above code will create IP in the range of Host network and using this you can access the file server from another machine.

Networking/Filesystem Issues in Creating a Vagrant/Virtualbox Environment Setup on New Host Machine

Recently, my work laptop died, and I'm trying to get my project setup on a different laptop that was in my garage. My project lives inside of a trusty64 Ubuntu vagrant box using Oracle's Virtualbox software. However, I'm running into a bunch of issues trying to get the vagrant setup to work on this laptop. I also have the project running on my home desktop, and it all works there just fine.
This laptop is a Gateway NE56R12u from 2012 with 8 GB of RAM. It has a 64-bit dual-core processor running Windows 10 Professional (I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on this laptop as well doing a dual-boot, it is having the same exact errors using the Ubuntu operating system as it is having using Windows 10) My home desktop (that everything works on just fine) is also Windows 10 Professional. I'm using Vagrant 2.0.0 and VirtualBox 5.1.28 on both Windows 10 machines. They are booting the same project on the same branch.
When looking at the Virtualbox GUI on the laptop, it is only showing 32-bit options for boxes, which seems to be due to a lack of available hardware acceleration (I did not find any acceleration options in the BIOS). The Virtualbox GUI throws an error that says due to missing acceleration properties, the box will not be able to detect that I have a 64-bit processor. The acceleration tab is inaccessible. So I've switched to trying to use a 32-bit 'trusty' box.
However, I am still having problems and am unable to use a virtual machine. The problems appear to be with network connections and connecting to my filesystem.
When I type in vagrant up it starts normally:
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'ubuntu/trusty32'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'ubuntu/trusty32' is up to date...
==> default: Setting the name of the VM: directoryName_default_1509067920271_59622
==> default: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration...
default: Adapter 1: nat
==> default: Forwarding ports...
default: 3000 (guest) => 3000 (host) (adapter 1)
default: 22 (guest) => 2222 (host) (adapter 1)
==> default: Running 'pre-boot' VM customizations...
==> default: Booting VM...
==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
default: SSH username: vagrant
default: SSH auth method: private key
but then hangs there until time-out.
going into the Virtualbox GUI and watching the device boot, I watch it hang here:
waiting 10 seconds for network device
waiting 120 seconds for network device
then it says it gave up waiting for network device and continues. Eventually, it gets and hangs here:
Waiting for network configuration...
Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration...
Booting system without full network configuration
then it quickly finishes booting and switches to a Vagrant login screen where I can successfully log in. When logged in, there are no files from my filesystem present. The command line where I started the boot process still has not changed at this point. It waits for the full time-out from the Vagrantfile and then throws the error that it timed out. I am not able to ssh in.
What I've done so far:
I have checked that the network adapter for the virtual machine is enabled. I have PAE set to on in my Vagrantfile because otherwise it is automatically set to off and throws a fatal error during boot (I tried turning pae, hwvirtex, vtxvpid, and vtxux all to off in my Vagrantfile). I made sure it only has one processor set. I have tried every network adapter setting available within the Virtualbox settings and there is no change. I have run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off as an administrator on the command line. I've destroyed the .vagrant.d file folder, the .VirtualBox folder, and the VirtualBoxVMs folders from ~/user. I've tried different networking options such as public network and a private network with the local ip address.
Note: after running bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off my virtual machines no longer show in the Virtualbox GUI. However, the first time I deleted the .folder's after running that command, my machine successfully booted the box for the first time and everything was working correctly with it. However, the next day when I used vagrant up from the halted machine, it no longer worked again. Sometimes, instead of timing out, Vagrant gives the error that the machine went into the invalid state of 'unknown' state or 'paused' state. This behavior, however, is not consistent.
I've also re-installed Virtualbox and Vagrant, tried Virtualbox version 5.1.30 and version 5.2 (which I immediately learned is not compatible with Vagrant, which is interesting). At one point, upon a fresh install of Virtualbox it worked once and then it was immediately broken again after halting. Reinstalling again does not make it work. I tried using the hashicorp/precise32 box, and while that is created, boots, and is ssh accessible with access to my filesystem it does not seem to support node or versions of npm after version 1.1.14 and npm install fails. The ubuntu/xenial32 box always has a stderr while trying to boot on the command line. I can not get the logs because the VMs themselves do not show up in the Virtualbox GUI. I ran bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto as having it set to off did not help solve my problem, but the Virtualbox GUI still does not show my VMs. Having vb.gui set to true in the Vagrantfile does not change this and the GUI does not show.
This is an error message I've gotten from the Virtualbox GUI many, many times:
The VM session was aborted.
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {7844aa05-b02e-4cdd-a04f-ade4a762e6b7}
My Vagrantfile:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty32"
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 3000, host: 3000
config.vm.boot_timeout = 500
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/v-root", "1"]
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--pae", "on"]
end
config.vm.provision :shell, :path => "scripts/init_environment.sh"
end
I don't know what's wrong. It's technically worked twice, so I feel there must be a software and not a hardware problem? I can get a different box to work fine on this computer, but that box doesn't work for my project. This project has been setup on 3 other computers successfully with 0 issues (2 of them Windows 10, one Mac OSX), though none of those machines required a 32-bit box. Any ideas are greatly appreciated, I just need this to work so I can work on the go! Many of my errors are not consistent. The next thing I'm thinking about trying is taking out the Ubuntu dual-boot...
Edit:
I will also note that I put vb.memory = "1024" into my Vagrantfile and the Virtualbox still uses 512 MB of base memory according to Virtualbox. Also, I got the VM's to show in the Virtualbox software again, and grabbed a logfile .
The issue for me seemed to be that the virtual machine had shut down previously with some orphaned child nodes (I have no idea what that means). But, I did find this article explaining how to save a broken system and reboot from disc (which the article explains where you can download this).

Vagrant cannot vagrant up the box packaged from ubuntu xenial64 16.04

I have a custom vagrant box based on the offcial box ubuntu 16.04.
I simplly run like this to get the packaged box.
vagrant init ubuntu/xenial64; vagrant up --provider virtualbox
vagrant up
vagrant ssh # enter the virtual machine and do some custom change on it
vagrant halt
vagrant package --vagrantfile Vagrantfile --output custom_ubuntu1604.box
and then i copy the file custom_ubuntu1604.box to another directory, i use the box like this:
vagrant box add ubuntu1604base custom_ubuntu1604.box
vagrant init ubuntu1604base
vagrant up # at this point the machine will be stopped at "Started Journal Servie"
my new virtualbox machine base on the new packaged box will stop at:
the screenshot
And finally it timed out:
Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that
Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within the
configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.
If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that Vagrant
had when attempting to connect to the machine. These errors are
usually good hints as to what may be wrong.
If you're using a custom box, make sure that networking is properly
working and you're able to connect to the machine. It is a common
problem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes. Verify
that authentication configurations are also setup properly, as well.
If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase
the timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value.
Try to set config.vm.boot_timeout in Vagrantfile more than default e.x.600. From my experience I found out it take a long time at the first time to connecting guest machine.
For example
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"
config.vm.provider "virtualbox"
config.vm.boot_timeout = 600
end

How can I configure private network in vagrant box

Setup:
On my laptop, I have windows 10 pro install. On that, I have installed latest virtualbox 5.1.2, latest vagrant 1.9.1 and latest packer 0.12.1. My laptop is highend and with strong configuration. I am on wifi.
Purpose:
I want to have three vagrant boxes running Windows 2012 r2 so that I can install SQL server on one, and two different web applications on others.
Success:
Till now I have managed to create vagrant boxes without any hassles. If I use forwarded port method, I am even able to rdp into those machines.
Failure:
My plan is to configure private network for these machines so that they can have their own ip addresses and can communicate with each other. But so far I am unable to achieve so. The private network settings as recommeded on vagrantup.com and other websites do not seem to work for me somehow, as I am sure I am doing some mistake somewhere.
can somebody please help me on how to go about this? I have searched a lot on this site also and gone through many suggestions but none seem to help.
Below is my vagrant file that I am using.
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "xxxx.box"
config.vm.communicator = "winrm"
config.vm.hostname = "xxxserver"
# Admin user name and password
config.winrm.username = "vagrant"
config.winrm.password = "vagrant"
config.vm.guest = :windows
config.windows.halt_timeout = 600
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4"
end
And below is the error message that I get when I run vagrant rdp
*
==> default: Detecting RDP info... RDP connection information for this machine could not be detected. This is typically caused when we can't
find the IP or port to connect to for RDP. Please verify you're
forwarding an RDP port and that your machine is accessible.
*
But if I replace
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4"
with
config.vm.network "forwarded_port" , host: 33390 , guest: 3389
and then reload the box then vagrant rdp works fine and I am able to loginto it. I want to use static ips for my vms.
Kindly guide..
thanks.
I also use a private_network with a static ip. Only adding (not replacing) the line config.vm.network "forwarded_port" , host: 33390 , guest: 3389 works.
$ vagrant rdp
==> fe: Detecting RDP info...
fe: Address: 127.0.0.1:33389`enter code here`
fe: Username: vagrant
==> fe: Vagrant will now launch your RDP client with the connection parameters

Vagrant access guest machine from host (windows)

I installed a vagrant virtual machine in Windows, it's working fine, I am trying to connect to the guest machine from windows, but as soon as I uncomment some thing in Vagrantfile like :
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"
OR
config.vm.network "public_network"
when reloading vagrant, I got this error :
The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it
to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the
'poweroff' state. Please verify everything is configured
properly and try again.
If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it,
it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the
GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve.
For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run `vagrant up` while the
VirtualBox GUI is open.
The primary issue for this error is that the provider you're using
is not properly configured. This is very rarely a Vagrant issue.
I know this does not make sense but I just open VirtualBox and with right-click goes to Settings of created vagrant machine image and diable Audio and it is working after save and run vagrant up
I never encountered that error personally, having never used vagrant on windows. This issue has been discussed here.
