Add the following to the file /etc/yum.repos.d/puppet.repo:
[puppetlabs]
name=Puppet Labs Packages
baseurl=http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/$releasever/products/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://yum.puppetlabs.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppetlabs
Add the following package to the system:
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
First, install some required packages:
yum install gcc bzip2 make kernel-devel-`uname -r`
From the menu: Devices → Install Guest Additions...
sudo mount -o ro -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
sudo sh /mnt/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Will complain about X related drivers we didn’t install. Should be fine. If you need to recompile, run this within the VM /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup and then vagrant reload
- groupadd admin
- useradd -G admin vagrant
- passwd vagrant # choose "vagrant" as the password
Run visudo and make the following changes:
Add the following lines at the bottom:
# Vagrant user should be able to sudo
%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
Comment out the following line:
# Defaults requiretty # (otherwise ssh <command> doesn't work)
Add the variable "PATH" to the "Defaults env_keep" list, otherwise sudo cleans the path, and loses ruby, which ohai needs.
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Add /usr/sbin and /sbin to the path:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin' >> ~vagrant/.bashrc
