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

You can load the settings from YAML file. This is demonstrated in Drupal VM as below:

# Use config.yml for basic VM configuration.
require 'yaml'
dir = File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))
if !File.exist?("#{dir}/config.yml")
  raise 'Configuration file not found! Please copy example.config.yml to config.yml and try again.'
end
vconfig = YAML::load_file("#{dir}/config.yml")

So then you can create config.yml like:

vagrant_box: geerlingguy/ubuntu1404
vagrant_user: vagrant
vagrant_ip: 192.168.88.88

and in Vagrantfile you can use variables as:

config.vm.box = vconfig['vagrant_box']
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: vconfig['vagrant_ip']
