...
After some experimenting, I settled on Vagrant, and came up with the following Vagrantfile:
- A list of all the major distros
- Using dedicated RFC1918 addresses
- Adds my SSH public key
- Default to 512M RAM and 1 CPU
- Easy to add custom provisioning shellcode
combined that with some dedicated RFC1918 addresses, and corresponding names.
There are 3 items involved:
Vagrant config
This is done in one Vagrantfile and looks like this:
| Code Block | ||||

DNS
Add this to your /etc/hosts file:
| Code Block |
|---|
#==== Vagrant distros
192.168.77.71 wheezy
192.168.77.72 jessie
192.168.77.73 stretch
192.168.77.74 trusty
192.168.77.75 xenial
192.168.77.76 bionic
192.168.77.77 centos6
192.168.77.78 centos7
192.168.77.79 rhel6
192.168.77.80 rhel7
#==== |
SSH configuration
Add this to your .ssh/config file:
| Code Block |
|---|
# Vagrant distros
Host wheezy jessie stretch trusty xenial bionic centos6 centos7 rhel6 rhel7
User vagrant
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no |
At this moment you should be able to simply do:
| Code Block |
|---|
vagrant up centos7
ssh centos7 |
And if you installed some HTTP service, simply go to http://centos7/
When you're done:
| Code Block |
|---|
vagrant destroy centos7 |
Happy testing!
