Private, versioned Vagrant boxes hosted via LFS in GitLab. Inspired by vagrant-s3auth.

From the command line:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-gitlabauth

First generate private token in GitLab Profile Setting page of your account (e.g. profile/account, see https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/README.html#private-tokens for more details).

vagrant-gitlabauth will then automatically use environment variable PRIVATE_TOKEN as private_token query parameter and essentially authenticate following requests:

gitlab://git.private/group/project/raw/master/box
gitlab://git.private/group/project/raw/master/metadata
gitlabs://git.private/group/project/raw/master/box
gitlabs://git.private/group/project/raw/master/metadata

Hints:

• Make sure you use --cacert, --cert or similar parameters when working with self-signed SSL certificates (e.g. vagrant box add --insecure gitlabs://git.private/group/project/raw/master/box)

Add following to your Vagrantfile:

['vagrant-gitlabauth'].each do |plugin_name|
  unless Vagrant.has_plugin?(plugin_name)
    # Attempt to install missing plugin
    system("vagrant plugin install #{plugin_name}") || exit!
    # Relaunch Vagrant so the plugin is detected. Exit with the same status code.
    exit system('vagrant', *ARGV)
  end
end
