This is required because the Chef Server almost always needs a node name to
interact. This will default to the hostname, but that's always going to be
`vagrant.vm`, which will collide easily.
This generates a random hostname with `vagrant-` as the prefix and stores the
result in the machine's data directory.
With this change, the existing host-based Ansible provisioner is
refactored to share a maximum of code with this new guest-based Ansible
provisioner.
At this stage of development, the existing unit tests are intentionally
modified as little as possible, to keep safe the existing funtionalities.
Other issues resolved by this changeset:
- Display a warning when running from a Windows host [GH-5292]
- Do not run `ansible-playbook` in verbose mode when the `verbose` option
is set to an empty string.
The current docker installer attempt to install the linux-image-extra-`uname -r` DEB package on Debian systems.
This package may not exist, for example on custom kernels (e.g., Linode servers).
If this happens, Vagrant halts the provisioning. However, this package is not really needed in newer Debian releases (such as Ubuntu 14.04).
This small patch checks if the linux-image-extra-`uname -r` package exists, and it will install it if it does. In either case, it will continue provisioning.
The benefits of the following "breaking change" are the following:
- default behaviour naturally fits with most common usage (i.e. always
connect with Vagrant SSH settings)
- the autogenerated inventory is more consistent by providing both the
SSH username and private key.
- no longer needed to explain how to override Ansible `remote_user` parameters
Important: With the `force_remote_user` option, people still can fall
back to the former behavior (prior to Vagrant 1.8.0), which means that
Vagrant integration capabilities are still quite open and flexible.
Starting with vagrant 1.7.3
(commit 1152b4e1df) we don't
save the command to be executed in the file anymore, but we send
it as a parameter, thus the back tick makes things worse.
puppet_server provisioner fails with Puppet Collection 1 with the
following error:
```bash
==> default: Running provisioner: puppet_server...
The `puppet` binary appears not to be in the PATH of the guest. This
could be because the PATH is not properly setup or perhaps Puppet is not
installed on this guest. Puppet provisioning can not continue without
Puppet properly installed.
