How to pass parameter on 'vagrant up' and have it in the scope of Vagrantfile?

I'm looking for a way to pass parameter to Chef cookbook like:

$ vagrant up some_parameter

And then use some_parameter inside one of the Chef cookbooks.

Solution

  • You cannot pass any parameter to vagrant. The only way is to use environment variables

    MY_VAR='my value' vagrant up

    And use ENV['MY_VAR'] in recipe.
