Creating a Vagrant cluster with chef-metal - any special configuration required around ssh port forwarding?

Chris_Patti · August 17, 2014, 10:58pm

Hello all!

I have a very simple chef metal script:

require ‘chef_metal’

machine ‘skycrank-gearbox’ do
tag 'master’
recipe "skycrank-gearbox::default"
converge true
end

machine ‘skycrank01’ do
tag 'gear’
converge true
end

machine ‘skycrank02’ do
tag 'gear’
converge true
end

My CHEF_DRIVER is set thusly:

export CHEF_DRIVER=“vagrant:/Users/cpatti/Vagrants”

And my ~/.chef/knife.rb contains the following vagrant/machine options:

machine_options :vagrant_options => { ‘vm.box’ => ‘chef/ubuntu-14.04’,
‘vm.box_url’ => ‘
https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/ubuntu-14.04/version/1/provider/virtualbox.box
’
}

(I also tried just using vm.box => ‘precise64’ FWIW that yielded no change)

Every time I try to run this, it seems to go along nicely for a bit, then I
get:

================================================================================
Error executing action converge on resource ‘machine_batch[default]’

================================================================================

Net::SSH::Exception

machine_batch_default_name) do
83: action resource.action
84: machines [ previous, resource ]
85: end
86: batch.from_recipe self

Can anyone give me some clues as to what I’m doing wrong here please? I’m
stuck.

Thanks!

And +1, I've been meaning to ping someone about this. I'm always
seeing the same problems. Also happens on digital ocean droplets, so
doesn't seem to just be vagrant related.

Hi Chris,

I don't have a real answer for this, but I think my colleague solved
this problem. Maybe by using private networking?

github.com

pniederlag/t3stacks/blob/fa5f56510ddec30f2a7ea6b2ff027e040eec00fa/cookbooks/t3stacks/recipes/default.rb#L37-L64


      
          machine name do
              action [:converge]
              converge true
              chef_environment = "pre-production"
              # @todo handle other options like cpu/ram
              add_machine_options :vagrant_options => {
                'vm.hostname' => config[:hostname],
                }, :vagrant_config => <<-EOM
                config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "#{config[:ipaddress]}"
                config.vm.provider 'virtualbox' do |v|
                    v.customize [
                      'modifyvm', :id,
                      '--name', "#{config[:hostname]}"
                    ]
                end
              EOM
              # @todo attribute precedence? profiles for dev and live?
              config[:attributes].each do |attribute_name, attribute_config|
                attribute attribute_name, attribute_config
              end

This file has been truncated. show original

Does that help?

Lamont and anyone else who's encountered this - I filed an issue on the
chef-metal Github repo. Maybe pop over there and add your +1 to the
permanent record?

github.com/chef-boneyard/chef-provisioning

Creating clusters in Vagrant with chef-metal yields a Net::SSH::Exception

Others on the chef mailing list have encountered this, and the only work around …people have found is a rather complex implementation around using private networks.

I'm going to switch gears and try modeling this cluster in Rackspace, they
have some good docs so hopefully they've smoothed away some of the rough
edges

Folks, I spoke with the author on Twitter, and he suggested I use the
master branch of chef-metal. That did indeed allow me to build the cluster

now I can't get 'metal execute' to work - but - progress!

Can anyone give me some clues as to what I'm doing wrong here please?
I'm stuck.

yeah, metal execute needs work to get it back up to speed. I'll get that
fixed before I release the version with the fix.

Folks, I spoke with the author on Twitter, and he suggested I use the
master branch of chef-metal. That did indeed allow me to build the cluster

now I can't get 'metal execute' to work - but - progress!

Lamont and anyone else who's encountered this - I filed an issue on the
chef-metal Github repo. Maybe pop over there and add your +1 to the
permanent record?

Creating clusters in Vagrant with chef-metal yields a Net::SSH::Exception · Issue #123 · chef-boneyard/chef-provisioning · GitHub

Also I found the following in the chef-metal Chefconf talk, and tried
adding it, to no avail:

require 'chef_metal'
require 'chef_metal_vagrant'

vagrant_cluster '/Users/cpatti/Vagrants'

vagrant_box 'chef/ubuntu-14.04' do
url '
https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/ubuntu-14.04/version/1/provider/virtualbox.box
'
end

machine 'skycrank-gearbox' do
tag 'master'
recipe "skycrank-gearbox::default"
converge true
end

machine 'skycrank01' do
tag 'gear'
converge true
end

machine 'skycrank02' do
tag 'gear'
converge true
end

I'm going to switch gears and try modeling this cluster in Rackspace,
they have some good docs so hopefully they've smoothed away some of the
rough edges

the same problems. Also happens on digital ocean droplets, so doesn't seem
to just be vagrant related.

Hello all!

My CHEF_DRIVER is set thusly:

export CHEF_DRIVER="vagrant:/Users/cpatti/Vagrants"

And my ~/.chef/knife.rb contains the following vagrant/machine options:

machine_options :vagrant_options => { 'vm.box' => 'chef/ubuntu-14.04',
'vm.box_url' =>
'https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/ubuntu-14.04/version/1/
provider/virtualbox.box'
}

(I also tried just using vm.box => 'precise64' FWIW that yielded no
change)

Every time I try to run this, it seems to go along nicely for a bit,
then I get:
