Re: vargant questions

Hi,

ok the one with production is a tricky one :)

I never would run Virtualbox in production but yes looks like there are
some people doing that.

Well, maybe I start with a list of add-ons, I must say I was more
focused on development and not on production, because I was thinking
about improving the vagrant experience.

Plugins:

https://github.com/dotless-de/vagrant-vbguest

https://github.com/cogitatio/vagrant-hostsupdater

https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-notify

https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-cachier

https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-pristine

I for example use all the time: vagrant-hostsupdater, vagrant-vbguest
and vagrant-cachier.

But as I said I was focusing on development and for me this speeds up my
setups and my workflow, also I use always the latest stable vagrant
version and do not use the outdated version from Debian or Ubuntu, which
I guess lots of people are still doing :)

Further there a some settings which you can change in grub, because
sometimes grub hangs.

The version of Virtualbox: since Ubuntu 14.04 it moved to |multiverse so
people have to enable that, but it is also now the 4.3 branch which is
good ! Apparently |Debian Stable still comes with an really old version
[4.1.x] you can run 4.3 without any problem btw.

The same goes for vagrant, Debian is using a really old version
[1.0.3-1] Ubuntu is using 1.4.3-1 and the official stable version is
1.6.5 which is running fine on Debian and Ubuntu.

Do we have already an idea how we want to tackle this ? Or do we say we
want a setup of vagrant which is also running on this old versions,
which will be a less cool experience :)

Cheers,

Sven
