Rimuhosting Vagrant Provider

vagrant-rimuhosting is a provider plugin for Vagrant that supports the management of Rimuhosting VPS's.

Current Features include:

• create and destroy VPS's
• power on and off VPS's
• rebuild a VPS (destroys and ups with same IP address)
• provision a VPS
• move a VPS to a different host server
• setup a SSH public key for authentication
• create a new user account during VPS creation

Install the provider plugin using the Vagrant command-line interface:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-rimu

Once the provider has been installed, you will need to configure your project to use it.

The most basic Vagrantfile to create a VPS on Rimu is shown below (with the optional options commented out):

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|

  config.vm.provider :rimu do |provider, override|
    override.ssh.insert_key = true
    override.ssh.private_key_path = '~/.ssh/id_rsa'

    provider.api_key = 'YOUR RIMU API KEY'
    provider.host_name = 'rimu.example.com'
    # provider.distro_code = 'centos6.64'
    # provider.data_centre = 'DCDALLAS'
    # provider.memory_mb = 1024
    # provider.disk_space_mb = 40000
    # provider.disk_space_2_mb = 40000
    # provider.vps_type = 'REGULAR'
    # provider.root_password = 'zxcvbnm'
    # provider.control_panel = 'webmin'
    # provider.vps_to_clone = 999
    # provider.extra_ip_reason = 'TLS/SSL for example.com and example.net'
    # provider.num_ips = 2
    # provider.private_ips = true
    # provider.billing_id = 9999
    # provider.host_server_id = 9999
    # provider.minimal_init = true
  end
end

Configuration Requirements

• You must specify the override.ssh.private_key_path option to enable authentication.
• You must specify your Rimu API Key. This can be found/generated in the RIMU control panel.
• You must specify the provider.host_name option, and it should be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

After creating your project's Vagrantfile with the required configuration attributes described above, you may create a new VPS with the following command:

$ vagrant up --provider=rimu

This command will create a new VPS, setup your SSH key for authentication, create a new user account, and run the provisioners you have configured.

Supported Commands

The provider supports the following Vagrant sub-commands:

• vagrant destroy - Destroys the Rimu VPS.
• vagrant rebuild - Destroys the Rimu VPS and recreates it with the same IP address which was previously assigned.
• vagrant halt - Powers off the Rimu VPS.
• vagrant reload - Reboots the Rimu VPS.
• vagrant provision - Runs the configured provisioners and rsyncs any specified config.vm.synced_folder folders.
• vagrant status - Outputs the status (active, off, not created) for the Rimu VPS.
• vagrant ssh - Logs into the Rimu VPS using the configured user account.
