Bootstrap instructions not working

[MartyLake]

Hi !

Tried to start this project, but it seems that the bootstrap instructions are missing something:

$ sudo apt install vagrant virtualbox
... //install goes ok

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'tasksched' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:

SSH:
* The following settings shouldn't exist: insert_key, password

vm:
* The box 'https://files.devuan.org/devuan_jessie/virtual/devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_vagrant.box' could not be found.

Hi,

I personally don't use the Vagrantfile, I think it's easier to install it on your host instead of running in a VM (assuming you are running linux). However, @evilham should be able to help.

Glad to see somebody is using this :-)

:-D Apparently it's not vm.box but vm.box_url. For some reason it just worked for me.

Can you try the 19-evilham-vagrantfix branch?

Thanks for the swift answer ! One of the error is gone, the other is still there:

~/tmp/tasksched$ git checkout 19-evilham-vagrantfix
// OK

~/tmp/tasksched$ vagrant up

[tasksched] Box 'devuan' was not found. Fetching box from specified URL for
the provider 'virtualbox'. Note that if the URL does not have
a box for this provider, you should interrupt Vagrant now and add
the box yourself. Otherwise Vagrant will attempt to download the
full box prior to discovering this error.

That's a bit weird, it should be a valid setting according to the documentation:
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/vagrantfile/ssh_settings.html

In any case, try the patched file and if asked for a password use toor.

@evilham thanks for your help!

@MartyLake Just a note: using Vagrant for this is a bit of a special case, and not the recommended way to use (or develop!) this project. I have reworked the "how to use" section of the README, in case it was confusing -- see the new shiny https://github.com/AnotherKamila/tasksched/blob/master/README.md#how-to-use . Of course, if you do have a reason to use Vagrant, ignore me -- hopefully @evilham will be able to figure out the problem.

BTW, could your problem maybe be caused by having an old version of Vagrant? (I don't use it, just guessing.)

[evilham]

Fair point :-D I thought that was clear, but it is much more so now ^^.

Closing and merging, if there are still issues do re-open it :).
