Vagrant-persistent-storage (0.0.49, global) Vagrant has a raft of plugins for extending functionality and I'm going to make use of a few here for disk resizing, adding a data disk to the VM, and being able to register it automatically with subscription-manager: vagrant plugin list You're running an up-to-date version of Vagrant! I took the opportunity to upgrade this as well: vagrant version I moved the binary to /usr/local/bin which is on my $PATH. Due to the update, I had to reboot my Mac, but the installation process will inform you if required. This was problematic with older versions of virtualbox, now has seems to be sorted. I'm running MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1 which now mandates kernel extensions are signed. As I hadn't used it for a while, I took the opportunity to update my version: vboxmanage -version If you don't have virtualbox, then download it.

This was my use case for the platform.įirstly, let's create a directory where we can store various information: mkdir ~/rhel-builds I wanted to create a RHEL8 VM where I could try out the latest osbuild tooling for creating RHEL images from blueprints for various platforms. Along with a few plugins we don't need anything else. Secondly, we need something able to define and orchestrate our VM. I use a Mac for my day-to-day duties, so it would be nice to be able to do things locally where I can.įirstly, we need a hypervisor able to provide the underlying virtualisation. Luckily, there are some excellent tools we can use for this. So it would be nice to be able to fire up a VM on demand, with minimal effort. I don't want to maintain a number of servers just for this. I'm often asked a quick RHEL question, which entails me trying something out to provide the best answers.
