Configuration

The Vagrant projecxt can be uses as-is; there are a couple of parameters you have to set up installation.

How to configure

There are several ways to set parameters:

1. Update the Vagrantfile. This is straightforward; the downside is that you will loose changes when you update this repository.
2. Use environment variables. Might be difficult to remember the parameters used when the VM was instantiated.
3. Use the .env / .env.local files (requires vagrant-env plugin). Configure your VPN connection by editing the .env file; or better copy .env to .env.local and edit the latter one, it won't be overridden when you update this repository and it won't mark your git tree as changed (you won't accidentally commit your local configuration!)

Parameters are considered in the following order (first one wins):

1. Environment variables
2. .env.local (if vagrant-env plugin is installed)
3. .env (if vagrant-env plugin is installed)
4. Vagrantfile definitions

VPN connection parameters

• VPN_GATEWAY: VPN gateway
• VPN_PROTOCOL: VPN connection protocol
• VPN_USER: VPN username
• VPN_PASSWORD: VPN user password

Optional plugins

When installed, this Vagrant project will make use of the following third party Vagrant plugins:

• vagrant-env: loads environment variables from .env files
• vagrant-exec: allow in userfriendly way run scripts in Vagrant VM

To install Vagrant plugins run:

vagrant plugin install <name>...
