Typing vagrant from the command line will display a list of all available commands.

Be sure that you are in the same directory as the Vagrantfile when running these commands!

# Starting a VM

• vagrant up -- starts vagrant environment (also provisions only on the FIRST vagrant up)
• vagrant provision -- forces reprovisioning of the vagrant machine
• vagrant reload -- The equivalent of vagrant halt followed by vagrant up
• vagrant reload --provision -- Restart the virtual machine and force provisioning

# Getting into a VM

• vagrant ssh -- connects to machine via SSH
• vagrant ssh boxname -- If you give your box a name in your Vagrantfile, you can ssh into it with boxname. Works from any directory.

# Stoping a VM

• vagrant halt -- stops the vagrant machine

# Cleaning up a VM

• vagrant destroy -- stops and deletes all traces of the vagrant machine
• `vagrant destroy -f -- same as above, without confirmation

Tips

• vagrant -v -- Get the vagrant version
• vagrant status -- outputs status of the vagrant machine1
• vagrant global-status -- outputs status of all vagrant machines
• vagrant suspend -- Suspends a virtual machine (remembers state)
• vagrant resume -- Resume a suspended machine (vagrant up works just fine for this as well)
• vagrant provision --debug -- Use the debug flag to increase the verbosity of the output
• vagrant push -- Yes, vagrant can be configured to deploy code!
• vagrant up --provision | tee provision.log -- Runs vagrant up, forces provisioning and logs all output to a file

Boxes

• vagrant box list -- See a list of all installed boxes on your computer
• vagrant box add -- Download a box image to your computer

# Plugins

• vagrant plugin hostsupdater : $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater to update your /etc/hosts file automatically each time you start/stop your vagrant box.

# Database administration

• If you want to inspect your VM database directly from your local pgadmin, check this out !
