Astral Launches pyx: A Python-Native Package Registry
Astral unveils pyx, a Python-native package registry in beta, designed to speed installs, enhance security, and integrate deeply with uv.
Provides a Ruby API to control Vagrant where Vagrant is installed via the Installer package on Mac OS X.
Currently a work-in-progress.
Vagrant was historically available as a gem, naturally providing a Ruby API to control Vagrant in other Ruby libraries and applications. However, since version 1.1.0, Vagrant is distributed exclusively using an Installer package. Derelict is a Ruby library that wraps the Vagrant binary, shelling out and parsing the results of each command.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem "derelict"
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install derelict
Some examples of common operations using Derelict:
require "derelict"
# Determine if there's a "default" VM defined in /path/to/project
Derelict.instance.connect("/path/to/project").vm(:default).exists?
require "derelict"
# Create an instance (represents a Vagrant installation)
instance = Derelict.instance("/path/to/vagrant")
instance = Derelict.instance # Defaults to /Applications/Vagrant
# Issue commands to the instance directly (not usually necessary)
result = instance.execute('--version') # Derelict::Executer object
print "success" if result.success? # if Vagrant's exit status was 0
print result.stdout # "Vagrant 1.3.3\n"
print result.status # 0
# Connect to a Vagrant project (containing a Vagrantfile)
connection = instance.connect("/path/to/project")
# Issue commands to the connection directly (runs from the project dir)
result = connection.execute(:up) # runs "vagrant up" in project dir
result.success? # Derelict::Executer object again
# Retrieve a particular VM from a connection (multi-machine support)
vm = connection.vm(:web) # "vm" is a Derelict::VirtualMachine
vm.exists? # does the connection define a "web" VM?
vm.state # current VM state (:running, :not_created...)
vm.running? # whether the VM is currently running or not
vm.up! # runs "vagrant up" for this VM only
vm.halt! # runs "vagrant halt" for this VM only
vm.destroy! # runs "vagrant destroy --force" for this VM
vm.reload! # runs "vagrant reload" for this VM only
vm.suspend! # runs "vagrant suspend" for this VM only
vm.resume! # runs "vagrant resume" for this VM only
