Vagrant is a great software that allows people to use various providers, provisioners, sync options, and more. But that often comes short if we write our project’s Vagrantfile just for default VirtualBox. Since I prefer to use libvirt provider and NFS I tend to write Vagrantfile that only support those (as they are just for myself). But lately I was writing a Vagrantfile for upcoming Fedora Developer Portal and wanted to support both Fedora users running our packages with libvirt as a default provider and everyone else as well.
