Run two vagrant boxes simultaniously

[tomjanssens]

At the moment it is not possible to run two vagrant boxes at the same time.

That’s because when running vagrant up (second step) vagrant tries to rename a temp folder located in user/VirtualBox VMs/ to joomlatools-box which already exists.

Note: you can solve this by just allowing the box to have a different name. We solved this for nooku-server box too. See: https://github.com/nooku/nooku-server/blob/develop/Vagrantfile.pkg#L30-L39 (see all commits that mention ticket #281)

+1 from me, would make the development process much simpler.

@stevenrombauts Something to add to the new box you are building?

Hi @johanjanssens , I thought this might be a solution to a problem I've been having of developing the next vagrant box features but still having a current version of the box on my system at the same time.

I discussed this with @stevenrombauts today and we came up with the idea of using a custom.yaml file:
https://github.com/joomlatools/joomlatools-vagrant/blob/master/config.custom.yaml-dist

to extend the Vagrantfile:
https://github.com/joomlatools/joomlatools-vagrant/blob/master/Vagrantfile#L25

Namely with a config item for box name:
https://github.com/joomlatools/joomlatools-vagrant/blob/master/Vagrantfile#L43

and box ip:
https://github.com/joomlatools/joomlatools-vagrant/blob/master/Vagrantfile#L38

This way two versions of the box can be run on the host system at the same time.

I agree with steven that the box is already configured for multiple sites. Did you have a different use case in mind @johanjanssens ?

[johanjanssens]

Nope. Don't need multiple boxes to run multiple sites, ideally we can run just one box, if that would be possible, if not possible offering support to run multiple boxes at the same time would still be a nice to have.
