The "vagrant init" command is used to initialize the current directory to be
|
|
a Vagrant environment by creating an initial Vagrantfile.
|
|

|
# Init
|
|
|
|
**Command: `vagrant init [name [url]]`**
|
|
|
|
This initializes the current directory to be a Vagrant environment
|
|
by creating an initial [Vagrantfile](/docs/vagrantfile/) if
|
|
one does not already exist.
|
|
|
|
If a first argument is given, it will prepopulate the `config.vm.box`
|
|
setting in the created Vagrantfile.
|
|
|
|
If a second argument is given, it will prepopulate the `config.vm.box_url`
|
|
setting in the created Vagrantfile.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
* `--box-version` - (Optional) The box version or box version constraint to add
|
|
to the `Vagrantfile`.
|
|
|
|
* `--force` - If specified, this command will overwrite any existing
|
|
`Vagrantfile`.
|
|
|
|
* `--minimal` - If specified, a minimal Vagrantfile will be created. This
|
|
Vagrantfile does not contain the instructional comments that the normal
|
|
Vagrantfile contains.
|
|
|
|
* `--output FILE` - This will output the Vagrantfile to the given file.
|
|
If this is "-", the Vagrantfile will be sent to stdout.
|
|
|
|
* `--template FILE` - Provide a custom ERB template for generating the Vagrantfile.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Create a base Vagrantfile:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a minimal Vagrantfile (no comments or helpers):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ vagrant init -m hashicorp/precise64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a new Vagrantfile, overwriting the one at the current path:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ vagrant init -f hashicorp/precise64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a Vagrantfile with the specific box, from the specific box URL:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ vagrant init my-company-box https://boxes.company.com/my-company.box
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a Vagrantfile, locking the box to a version constraint:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ vagrant init --box-version '> 0.1.5' hashicorp/precise64
|
|
```
