# vagrant-boxes

### Getting Started

Download and install both [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)

and [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads).

### Commands

```bash

vagrant up

```

```bash

vagrant provision

```

```bash

vagrant destroy

```

```bash

vagrant halt

```

```bash

vagrant ssh

```

### Why Vagrant over Docker?

Vagrant and docker both essentially do the same thing, that is provision

an isolated development environment with the ability to quickly start and

destroy them.

**Simplicity**: For monoliths, Vagrant is great since you'll have a deal with

a much smaller subset of commands and problems than you do with docker. It's

as simple as downloading vagrant and virtualbox and running vagrant up and

vagrant ssh.

### Why Docker over Vagrant?

**Lightweight**: Docker containers however are much smaller than vagrant boxes, and mimic the

exact build used for production since they are shared and reusable post-build.

**Composability**: However, Docker is more complex to use and requires having around 5+ verbose

commands just to start using it. While it can be difficult to coordinate multiple

Docker containers on a development machine, it's the best viable solution

for coordinating micro-services and service-oriented architectures.

## Notes

- Try to always use the latest version of virtualbox.

- You may run into issues with port forwarding and virtual host versions.

- Google your solution.
