Vagrant NFS synced_folders

After upgrading to Fedora 25 yesterday, Vagrant 1.8.5 in the updates repo was unusable with VirtualBox for 2 reasons:

1. The newest centos/7 box didn’t use vbox guest additions for shared folders, forcing the use of NFS
2. Vagrant issue 8138 which is not fixed in the newest RPM from Vagrant means I had to install from source.

This required two workarounds in my Vagrantfile:

1. The setting config.vm.synced_folder requires the ‘type: "nfs"’ parameter.
2. The config.vm.provision section required the ‘chef.synced_folder_type = "nfs"’ parameter.

This looks like the following now:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11

...
  config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.10.10.12"
  config.vm.synced_folder "django3", "/django3", type: "nfs"

  config.berkshelf.enabled = true

  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.synced_folder_type = "nfs"
    chef.cookbooks_path = "cookbooks"
    chef.roles_path = "roles"
...
