Is there a way to change ssh settings (namely config.ssh.host) AFTER provisioning?
Is it possible to refer any settings inside trigger or provision sections (especially guest box IP and full guest virtualbox name)?
Goal: use vagrant ssh to access box via host-only interface and switch off NAT interface temporarily.
Currenlt workaround flow: comment ssh-related lines, run vagrant up, uncomment ssh lines, run vagrant reload
It would be nice to do it with just vagrant up and automate things a bit.
Without comment/uncomment routine:
Vagrantfile:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
s.inline = <<-SHELL
apt -y install build-essential python3
SHELL
end
config.vm.define "sample" do |sample|
config.vm.hostname = "samplehost"
sample.vm.box = "ubuntu/mantic64"
sample.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.56.56"
sample.ssh.host = "192.168.56.56"
sample.ssh.port = 22
end
end
Expected:
vagrant up provisions and starts server
Actual:
Startup fails after timeout with console output:
