vagrant-env

Vagrant ENV Plugin

This is a Vagrant plugin to load environment variables from .env into ENV. For more on how and why we use this plugin, please see http://kn0t.ch/vagrant-env-intro

Usage

Install using standard Vagrant plugin installation methods.

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-env

After installing, add your application configuration to your .env file in the root of your project

$ echo BOX_NAME=foo > .env

And then make a Vagrantfile that looks like the following, make sure to add config.env.enable and fill in your information where necessary.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.env.enable
  config.vm.box = ENV['BOX_NAME']
end

You may also add export in front of each line so you can source the file in bash:

export AWS_ACCESS_ID=YOURACCESSIDGOESHERE
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_ID=YOURSECRETKEYGOESHERE

Should I commit my .env file?

It is recommended that you store development-only settings in your .env file, and commit it to your repository. Make sure that all your credentials for your development environment are different from your other deployments. This makes it easy for other developers to get started on your project, without compromising your credentials for other environments.
