🧪How to Build a Linux Lab Using Vagrant

  • Vagrant is a tool that automates the creation and management of virtual machines for setting up Linux study labs.
  • Vagrant requires a provider like VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V, or Docker to create VMs.
  • To begin, download and install VirtualBox and Vagrant.
  • Open PowerShell as an administrator and navigate to the desired folder to create the VM.
  • Two options to create the VM: Use 'vagrant init centos/7' for a pre-configured CentOS 7 box or 'vagrant init' for manual setup.
  • Running 'vagrant up' starts the VM, while 'vagrant ssh' allows access to the VM.
  • Various Linux distributions are available to try using Vagrant, such as Ubuntu, Debian, and generic Linux options.
  • Additional commands like 'vagrant halt', 'vagrant suspend', 'vagrant resume', 'vagrant reload', and 'vagrant destroy' help manage the VM.
  • Consider using PuTTY or MobaXterm for SSH access to the VM for stability and convenience.
  • For detailed Vagrantfile customization, a quick search can provide tailored solutions.
  • Community-created Vagrant boxes offer a wide range of Linux distros for study and testing purposes.
