Command: vagrant up [name|id]

This command creates and configures guest machines according to your Vagrantfile.

This is the single most important command in Vagrant, since it is how any Vagrant machine is created. Anyone using Vagrant must use this command on a day-to-day basis.

»Options

  • name - Name of machine defined in Vagrantfile

  • id - Machine id found with vagrant global-status. Using id allows you to call vagrant up id from any directory.

  • --[no-]destroy-on-error - Destroy the newly created machine if a fatal, unexpected error occurs. This will only happen on the first vagrant up. By default this is set.

  • --[no-]install-provider - If the requested provider is not installed, Vagrant will attempt to automatically install it if it can. By default this is enabled.

  • --[no-]parallel - Bring multiple machines up in parallel if the provider supports it. Please consult the provider documentation to see if this feature is supported.

  • --provider x - Bring the machine up with the given provider. By default this is "virtualbox".

  • --[no-]provision - Force, or prevent, the provisioners to run.

  • --provision-with x,y,z - This will only run the given provisioners. For example, if you have a :shell and :chef_solo provisioner and run vagrant provision --provision-with shell, only the shell provisioner will be run.
