Vagrant Grid5000 Provider

Gem Version

This is a Vagrant plugin that adds a provider for machines running on the Grid'5000 testbed to Vagrant.

This is still at an early state of development.

What works

  • vagrant up --provider=grid5000
  • vagrant status
  • vagrant ssh
  • vagrant destroy

What doesn't work

  • everything else

Installation

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-grid5000

Each provider needs at least one ''box''. This does not really make sense here, so we are providing a dummy one.

$ vagrant box add --name dummy https://github.com/lnussbaum/vagrant-grid5000/raw/master/dummy.box

Example Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  # Global configuration for Grid'5000 access
  config.vm.provider "grid5000" do |g5k|
    # cute_parameters = { :conf_file =>"config file path" }
    # For details about allowed parameters see
    # https://github.com/lnussbaum/vagrant-grid5000/blob/master/lib/vagrant-grid5000/config.rb

  end

  config.vm.define :my_g5k_box do |g5k|
    g5k.vm.box = "dummy"
  end
end

Development

To work on the vagrant-grid5000 plugin, clone this repository out, and use Bundler to get the dependencies:

$ bundle

You can test the plugin without installing it into your Vagrant environment by using the Vagrantfile in the top level of this directory and use bundler to execute Vagrant.

$ bundle exec vagrant up --provider=grid5000

etc.
