Vagrant ssh 'private_key_path` file must exist - vagrant

I'm getting this error during vagrant up
There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:
SSH:
* `private_key_path` file must exist: insecure_key
How do I setup the private key in order to ssh into use vagrant ssh? I'm using Windows 7.
My vagrant file
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.define "phusion" do |v|
v.vm.provider "docker" do |d|
d.cmd = ["/sbin/my_init", "--enable-insecure-key"]
d.image = "phusion/baseimage"
d.name = 'dockerizedvm'
d.has_ssh = true
#d.force_host_vm = true
end
v.ssh.port = 22
v.ssh.username = 'root'
v.ssh.private_key_path = 'insecure_key'
v.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello"
#v.vm.synced_folder "./keys", "/vagrant"
end
end

So in my case I was using cygwin with windows, and I received:
* `private_key_path` file must exist:
C:\cygwin64\home\basic.user/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
After a few minutes of investigation I realized the VAGRANT_HOME environment variable was not ok, so exporting the right environment variable did the job:
VAGRANT_HOME=/cygdrive/c/Users/basic.user
export VAGRANT_HOME

insecure_key should be a file containing an SSH key. The file should be in the same folder where you vagrant up. The following is an alternative:
curl -o insecure_key -fSL https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker/raw/master/image/insecure_key
chmod 600 insecure_key
vagrant ssh

How to write to a file provisioning from Vagrantfile

Hi I'm trying to add a Directory Index directive to the default VirtualHost for Apache from the Vagrantfile. I'm wondering if there is a way to edit a file from the Vagrantfile (I'm usung inline SHELL). I know I could copy an entire VH file to the guest machine, but I want to know how to write into files if possible.
Thanks!
You can do that with ansible like this:
config.vm.provision "ansible_local" do |ansible|
ansible.verbose = "vv"
ansible.become = true # execute as root
ansible.playbook = "relative_path_to_ansible_file/playbook.yml"
end
or with a shell
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
s.inline = "echo $1"
s.args = "'hello, world!'"
end
end

My issue is that when I run this vagrantfile, I receive an error that states the following: default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying... and if I run in debug mode I just see a bunch of timeouts..
All that I am trying to do is rather than create a "vagrant" user, I want to create a user that is the same as the user on the host machine by using #{ENV['USER']} and have the user immediately be able to run vagrant ssh and if their host user is test.user, then the guest user will be test.user..
vagrant ssh-config was:
Host default
HostName 127.0.0.1
User aaron.west
Port 2200
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile /Users/aaron.west/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentityFile /Users/aaron.west/.ssh/id_rsa
LogLevel FATAL
all help is appreciated :)
I believe you'll have to create a new user on your Vagrant machine. As per the docs for the ssh.username setting, it doesn't sound like that setting actually creates a user. It only helps you to tell Vagrant what user to connect as, if the box was made with a username other than vagrant.
You probably need to shell out to useradd during provisioning.

Why is the default Vagrant shared folder empty?

The /vagrant directory is empty. It should contain the workspace where my Vagrantfile is located. I can cd /vagrant, but it's empty.

This happens when vagrant can't modify /etc/fstab and tries to mount the current working directory from the host. Make sure it has permissions to mount the directory.
Run this on the Vagrant guest VM, then logout.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
Run this on the host.
$ sudo vagrant reload
$ vagrant ssh
This issue happened to me after manually rebooting the VM (i.e. sudo reboot).
Restarting the machine from the host solved the problem for me:
$ vagrant halt
$ vagrant up
you need to define below line in the vagrantfile, . means current directory
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant"

Shell provisioning in a multi-machine vagrantfile

How do I provision VMs created in a multi-machine vagrant file. I want to execute separate shell provisioning scripts in each of the machines created. I am unable figure out how vagrant facilitates this.
$kitCoreScript = <<SCRIPT
set -e
set -x
mkdir kitCoreFolder
exit
SCRIPT
$agentScript = <<SCRIPT
set -e
set -x
mkdir agentFolder
exit
SCRIPT
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.ssh.private_key_path = "rack_rsa"
config.vm.define "kitcore" do | kitcore |
kitcore.vm.provider :rackspace do |rs|
rs.username = "username"
rs.api_key = "1232134rewf324e2qede132423"
rs.admin_password = "pass1"
rs.flavor = /1 GB Performance/
rs.image = /Ubuntu 12.04/
rs.rackspace_region = :dfw
rs.server_name = "kit-core"
rs.public_key_path = "rack_rsa.pub"
end
kitcore.provision :shell, :inline => $kitCoreScript
end
config.vm.define "agents" do |agents|
agents.vm.provider :rackspace do |rs|
rs.username = "username"
rs.api_key = "2314rwef45435342543r"
rs.admin_password = "pass1"
rs.flavor = /1 GB Performance/
rs.image = /Ubuntu 12.04/
rs.rackspace_region = :dfw
rs.server_name = "agnet"
rs.public_key_path = "rack_rsa.pub"
end
agent.provision :shell, :inline => $agentScript
end
end
Apparently upon running the above vagrant script I get the below error message from vagrant.
dev-setup-scripts vagrant up
There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:
Vagrant:

Any help is highly appreciated.
You need to replace:
kitcore.provision
by
kitcore.vm.provision
Do the same for the vm called agent.

Override Vagrant configuration settings locally (per-dev)

I'd like the question to be answered in general, but to illustrate it, here's a use case:
I'm using Vagrant for a simple LMAP project. I use standalone Puppet for provisioning. Now, there might be some developers who sit behind a proxy and they would need some additional configuration to be made to the VM. I have things working on the Puppet side: I can pass the proxy IP (if any) as a fact to puppet in the Vagrantfile and Puppet reacts accordingly if it's set.
The only issue I have is: how can developers specify/override this setting for their development environment without having to change the Vagrantfile (which is under version control and must remain dev-environment-neutral)?
If would be awesome if people could override some Vagrant settings in a file called e.g. Vagrantfile.local, which I would exclude via .gitignore.
Since a Vagrantfile is just Ruby, I tried the following:
# Also load per-dev custom vagrant config
custom_vagrantfile = 'Vagrantfile.local'
load custom_vagrantfile if File.exist?(custom_vagrantfile)
The file inclusion basically works, but it looks like in the included file, I'm not in the same Vagrant context anymore...
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
puppet.facter = { "proxy" => "proxy.host:80" }
end
end
... also "resets" all other puppet config values I made in the main Vagrantfile, which makes me think I'm heading in the wrong direction here. I should note that I'm a total noob at Ruby ;)
Can anyone give me a hint or even a working solution for how per-dev customization could be done here in general?
The Vagrantfile is just Ruby, so YAML is another option.
For example, in the Vagrantfile I do this:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
require 'yaml'
settings = YAML.load_file 'vagrant.yml'
db_ip_address = settings['db']['ip_address']
api_ip_address = settings['api']['ip_address']
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ffuenf/ubuntu-13.10-server-amd64"
config.vm.box_url = "https://vagrantcloud.com/ffuenf/ubuntu-13.10-server-amd64/version/4/provider/virtualbox.box"
config.vm.define "db" do |db|
db.vm.synced_folder settings['db']['artifacts_dir']['host'], settings['db']['artifacts_dir']['guest']
db.vm.network "private_network", ip: db_ip_address
... other stuff ...
end
config.vm.define "api" do |api|
api.vm.synced_folder settings['api']['artifacts_dir']['host'], settings['api']['artifacts_dir']['guest']
api.vm.network "private_network", ip: api_ip_address
api.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: settings['api']['forwarded_port']['guest'], host: settings['api']['forwarded_port']['host']
end
end
Then I have a vagrant.yml file (I just made up the name; you can use whatever name you like) for the developer-specific configuration:
db:
ip_address: 192.168.4.14
artifacts_dir:
host: /Users/willie/myapp/db-scripts
guest: /opt/myapp/db
api:
ip_address: 192.168.4.15
forwarded_port:
host: 9080
guest: 8080
artifacts_dir:
host: /Users/willie/myapp/artifacts
guest: /opt/myapp/api
I would suggest using environment variables to dynamically change the behavior of the Vagrantfile without editing the file itself.
To give a real world example, here's how you could use an Ubuntu base box by default but have an environment variable define an alternative Linux distribution:
if ENV['OPERATINGSYSTEM']
if ENV['OPERATINGSYSTEM'].downcase == 'redhat'
os_name = 'centos'
config.vm.box = 'centos'
config.vm.box_url = 'https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7225008/Vagrant/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal.box'
else
raise(Exception, "undefined operatingsystem: #{ENV['OPERATINGSYSTEM']}")
end
else
os_name = 'precise64'
config.vm.box = 'precise64'
config.vm.box_url = 'http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box'
end
This example comes from https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-openstack_dev_env
If you are prepared to define settings that are applied to all your vagrant boxes it's worth noting that, "Vagrant actually loads a series of Vagrantfiles, merging the settings as it goes." (ref https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vagrantfile/)
So I have the following defined in ~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile to increase the amount of RAM for my Vagrant boxes:
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.memory = 2048
end
end
Here's an idea. It may be "ugly" and "wrong", but, at least, it works :)
# file2.rb, this is your per-dev configuration file
puts "included external file which uses outer var: #{foo}"
# file1.rb, this would be your Vagrantfile
puts 'first'
foo = 'bar'
external = File.read 'file2.rb'
eval external
puts 'second'
Let's run that
$ ruby file1.rb
first
included external file which uses outer var: bar
second
Adapting to your example, file2.rb would contain only usage of config without defining it (config will be provided from outer context)
config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
puppet.facter = { "proxy" => "proxy.host:80" }
end
And your Vagrant file may look like this:
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
external = File.read 'Vagrantfile.local'
eval external
# proceed with general settings here
config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
puppet.facter = { "proxy" => "proxy.host:80" }
end
end
Update (another, "data-driven" approach)
# Vagranfile.local
config_values[:puppet][:facter][:proxy] = 'proxy.host:80'
# Vargantfile
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
config_values = {
puppet: {
facter: {
proxy: nil
},
manifests_file: 'my_manifest.pp'
}
}
external = File.read 'Vagrantfile.local'
eval external # this should overwrite proxy config
# proceed with general settings here
config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
if config_values[:puppet][:facter][:proxy]
puppet.facter = { "proxy" => config_values[:puppet][:facter][:proxy] }
end
puppet.manifests_file = config_values[:puppet][:manifests_file]
end
end
I believe that's the exact use case that Nugrant plugin was created to solve. It allows each of your devs to have a .vagrantuser (which is a .gitignore-ed file) in YAML specifying custom configuration values then reference these values with ease in Vagrantfile.
In your case, a proxied developer would have their .vagrantuser file looking like this:
proxy: 'proxy.host:80'
And your Vagrantfile would look like this (pseudo code, I don't really know ruby):
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
if config.user.has_key?('proxy')
puppet.facter = { "proxy" => config.user.proxy }
end
end
end
You should bundle a sample/reference vagrantuser (i.e. vagrantuser.example) file for your devs to copy and adjust to their environment.
To extend on #Willie Wheeler 's answer. My setup is:
Root
|-- defaults.yml
|-- env.yml
|-- Vagrantfile
Vagrantfile
# Load local env config
require 'yaml'
dir = File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))
# defaults
settings = YAML::load_file("#{dir}/defaults.yml")
if File.exist?("#{dir}/env.yml")
env_settings = YAML::load_file("#{dir}/env.yml")
settings.merge!(env_settings)
end
...
# Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
vb.memory = settings["vb"]["memory"]
defaults.yml
vb:
memory: 1024
env.yml
vb:
memory: 204
This will merge whatever defaults you have with your per-dev config. Also it is clear to developers what values they can actually change
Consider using vagrant-proxyconf plugin. It allows to set proxy for all Vagrant VMs globally.
Another solution is to run external shell script during provisioning. I use separate config.vm.provision section at the beginning of Vagrantfile to do it:
# reset: true below is needed to reset the connection to the VM so that new
# environment variables set in /etc/environment will be picked up in next
# provisioning steps
config.vm.provision "shell", reset: true, inline: <<-SHELL
if [ -f /vagrant/Vagrantfile-settings.sh ]
then
/vagrant/Vagrantfile-settings.sh
fi
SHELL
Then just put a Vagrantfile-settings.sh file next to Vagrantfile, add it to .gitignore (or whatever) and put any script inside, for example to set proxy for interactive terminal, all daemons and docker containers:
# Proxy for interactive terminals
echo "http_proxy=http://PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT" >> /etc/environment
echo "https_proxy=http://PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT" >> /etc/environment
echo "no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost" >> /etc/environment
# Proxy for daemons (e.g. Docker deamon - used to pull images, apt - run from default daily cron job)
mkdir /etc/systemd/system.conf.d
echo [Manager] > /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/01-http-proxy.conf
echo "DefaultEnvironment=\"http_proxy=PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT\"" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/01-http-proxy.conf
echo "DefaultEnvironment=\"https_proxy=PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT\"" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/01-http-proxy.conf
echo "DefaultEnvironment=\"no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost\"" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/01-http-proxy.conf
echo "# Docker requires upper-case http proxy environment variables..." >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/01-http-proxy.conf
echo "DefaultEnvironment=\"HTTP_PROXY=http://PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT2\"" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/01-http-proxy.conf
echo "DefaultEnvironment=\"HTTPS_PROXY=http://PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT\"" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/01-http-proxy.conf
echo "DefaultEnvironment=\"NO_PROXY=127.0.0.1,localhost\"" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/01-http-proxy.conf
# Proxy for docker containers started with `docker run`
mkdir /home/vagrant/.docker
cat <<EOF > /home/vagrant/.docker/config.json
{
"proxies": {
"default": {
"httpProxy": "http:/PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT",
"httpsProxy": "http://PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT",
"noProxy": "127.0.0.1,localhost"
}
}
}
EOF
chown -R vagrant:vagrant /home/vagrant/.docker
You can load the settings from YAML file. This is demonstrated in Drupal VM as below:
# Use config.yml for basic VM configuration.
require 'yaml'
dir = File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))
if !File.exist?("#{dir}/config.yml")
raise 'Configuration file not found! Please copy example.config.yml to config.yml and try again.'
end
vconfig = YAML::load_file("#{dir}/config.yml")
So then you can create config.yml like:
vagrant_box: geerlingguy/ubuntu1404
vagrant_user: vagrant
vagrant_ip: 192.168.88.88
and in Vagrantfile you can use variables as:
config.vm.box = vconfig['vagrant_box']
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: vconfig['vagrant_ip']
