clarification re: networking

Open techieshark opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, since multipass works on Apple Silicon (M1), this looks useful.

But the readme says:

Vagrant networking is not supported due multipass doesn't allow to manage network

Could you clarify what that means and if it is still true?

multipass launch --help shows (with multipass version 1.9.1):

   --network <spec>     Add a network interface to the instance, where <spec> is
                       in the "key=value,key=value" format, with the following
                       keys available:
                        name: the network to connect to (required), use the
                       networks command for a list of possible values, or use
                       'bridged' to use the interface configured via `multipass
                       set local.bridged-network`.
                        mode: auto|manual (default: auto)
                        mac: hardware address (default: random).
                       You can also use a shortcut of "<name>" to mean
                       "name=<name>".
  --bridged            Adds one `--network bridged` network.

Hello When I wrote this plugin multipass didn't provide this feature. So for the moment it's always true.

Thanks @Fred78290 . Given the multipass options above, is it your understanding that it should be possible to get multipass network management working with Vagrant?

Is it this line that would need updating? https://github.com/Fred78290/vagrant-multipass/blob/010f182fa828f060f5fad348c1a70039df433cc2/lib/vagrant-multipass/action.rb#L136
