Vagrant Setup

Prerequisites

Explicit Need Only

Vagrant VMs are ONLY used to test cases which cannot be tested in containers (kernel, firmware, proc, systemd, networking, etc) these should never be default test cases.

Install

source {VENV}/bin/activate
pamac install vagrant
pip install molecule-plugins[Vagrant]
Reference:

Set alternative storage location (optional)

Developing on vagrant will thrash disk especially when running molecule with large (multi-GB) reads and writes. Relocate high-use directories to a disk that can handle high wear. Prefer to config change as this enables quick use without configuration changes.

Move and link user directories to an alternative location (1)

  1. Consider moving and linking entire .cache directory.
# delete or move existing cache data.
ls -s /mnt/cache/local/share/containers ${HOME}/.local/share/containers
