vagrant-sad

Vagrant Search and Destroy, AKA "I'm v sad that Vagrant ate my box".

Using Vagrant for CI risks leaving a lot of stuff behind (both as running VMs and data on disk), this repo contains some solutions to making that more manageable.

It's intended mainly as a glue layer between Gitlab-CI and Vagrant when VirtualBox VMs are in use.

Dependencies

• Vagrant
• VirtualBox
• bash (not posix shell, I actually mean bash)

Scripts

clean-up-vbox-vms

This is a safety net, it's assumed that you're setting up your CI jobs to at least try to clean up after themselves, but if they don't you can execute this from cron intermittently to catch failed clean ups.

Cleans up old Virtual Box VMs.

Usage:

$ max_run_age=N max_off_age=N ./clean-up-vbox-vms

e.g to power off VMs that have been running more than 1 hour:

$ max_run_age=3600 ./clean-up-vbox-vms

to remove VMs that have been hanging around on disk (not running) for more than 1 day:

$ max_off_age=86400 ./clean-up-vbox-vms

Note: it's assumed that max_off_age will only be used when a smaller max_run_age is supplied.
