Hi Tommy

Excellent share !!!!! Thanks for sharing this. I would look at that vagrant file and see what directions can be taken.

Thanks and Regards

This is my second attempt to reply since #1 never showed up. Apologies
in advance if it eventually turns into a duplicate.

There is already a public base box for Vagrant which does something similar:

https://vagrantcloud.com/tanderberg/boxes/hypergrid-to-go

Not quite the same thing though. This one comes with the Diva distro
already installed plus a sizable database, so it may be more useful for
content developers than for hacking on OpenSim itself.

It also handles networking differently. The box runs NetworkManager to
set up its own interfaces; the example Vagrantfile at

https://github.com/tanderberg/htg-vagrant

just gives the box a bridged connection, but the actual setup is done by
NetworkManager (there is a very slight bit of hackery to keep Vagrant
from interfering with it). Out of the box (ha!) OpenSim is set to
localhost; to actually make it use the bridged interface you need to
select that interface in the included configuration wizard.

Fun case of "great minds think alike" nevertheless. :)
