## 🔑 Prerequisites
Before you start, ensure you have the following installed:
- [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads)
- [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
- Basic understanding of Linux and virtualization
---
## 🏗️ Architecture
This project uses Vagrant to automate VM provisioning with the following configurations:
- **OS**: CentOS Stream 9
- **Networking**: Private network with IP `192.168.56.14`
- **Resources**: 1600MB RAM, 2 CPU cores
- **SSH Configuration**: Custom SSH key setup
- **Provisioning (optional)**: Install and configure Apache web server
---
## 🛠️ Setup & Installation
### 1⃣ Initialize Vagrant:
```bash
vagrant init eurolinux-vagrant/centos-stream-9
```
## 🐾 Vagrant Setup 🖥️
Below is the `Vagrantfile` configuration used:
```ruby
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# Use the CentOS Stream 9 box
config.vm.box = "eurolinux-vagrant/centos-stream-9"
# Private network for host-only access (you can modify the IP)
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.56.14"
# Synced folder from host to guest
# config.vm.synced_folder "D:\\scripts\\shellscripts", "/opt/scripts", type: "virtualbox"
# VirtualBox provider-specific configurations
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
# Allocate memory and CPUs
vb.memory = "1600"
vb.cpus = 2
vb.gui = false # Run the VM in headless mode (without GUI)
end
# Disable the default insecure SSH key and use newly generated keys
config.ssh.insert_key = false
# Ensure SSH keys are properly configured
config.ssh.private_key_path = "~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key"
# Provision the VM with necessary updates and package installations
#config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
# Update and install necessary packages
# You can comment below commands to just have a simple Centos standard VM
sudo dnf -y update
sudo dnf -y install httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
#SHELL
end
```
### 2⃣ Start the Virtual Machine:
```bash
vagrant up
```
### 3⃣ Check VM Status:
```bash
vagrant status
```
### 4⃣ SSH into the VM:
```bash
vagrant ssh
```
### 5⃣ Check Network Configuration:
```bash
ip addr show
```
### 6⃣ Exit the VM:
```bash
exit
```
### 🧹 Cleaning Up Resources
To remove the VM and free up system resources, run the following commands in order:
### 1⃣ Destroy the Virtual Machine:
```bash
vagrant destroy
```
### 2⃣ Remove Unused Vagrant Instances:
```bash
vagrant global-status --prune
```
