Ask HN: What's the Next Vagrant?

1 ポイント投稿者 nightmonkey2 年前2 コメント

Howdy. I've been a happy user of Vagrant since I first saw it demo'd at DevOpsDays in 2011. Now, with the BSL license fork, I don't have a good replacement. Do you? I know I can work with a VM without it (which is my primary use case - Vagrant supports a lot more than that), but the elegance and codeability of Vagrant is what I seek.

Or, is there a OpenTofu/OpenBao-like project going on for Vagrant today? Thanks in advance, HN! :)

Docker Compose is probably the right approach for developing a 12-factor app.

Vagrant is primarily for two things:

1) Isolated dev environments (cross platform/stack) (and/or easier onboarding) 2) A way to run services apps depend on (databases, job runners, cache etc).

I am going to suggest one of the Nix based tools that do those things:

  - https://devenv.sh/ (I use this at work)
  - https://www.jetpack.io/devbox

There are one or two more as well.
