Override Vagrant configuration settings locally (per-dev)

Question

I\'d like the question to be answered in general, but to illustrate it, here\'s a use case:

I\'m using Vagrant for a simple LMAP project. I use standalone Puppet for pro

I believe that's the exact use case that Nugrant plugin was created to solve. It allows each of your devs to have a .vagrantuser (which is a .gitignore-ed file) in YAML specifying custom configuration values then reference these values with ease in Vagrantfile.

In your case, a proxied developer would have their .vagrantuser file looking like this:

proxy: 'proxy.host:80'

And your Vagrantfile would look like this (pseudo code, I don't really know ruby):

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
    if config.user.has_key?('proxy')
      puppet.facter = { "proxy" => config.user.proxy }
    end
  end
end

You should bundle a sample/reference vagrantuser (i.e. vagrantuser.example) file for your devs to copy and adjust to their environment.
