How to upgrade?

[codewisp]

With Docker's script, it's boot2docker stop — boot2docker download — boot2docker start. It says that the VM's hard drive isn't affected. What's the way to do this with Vagrant? Vagrant requires destroying the image in order to change the underlying image, no?

With the VM running :

vagrant box update
vagrant box reload

seems to work and maintain persisted things.

@dduportal Can you elaborate? I have a docker-proxy vagrantfile in my project that does some additional port forwarding. Example:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "mitchellh/boot2docker"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
    v.check_guest_additions = false
    v.functional_vboxsf     = false
    v.memory = 2048
    v.cpus = 2
  end

  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 2003, host: 2003
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8125, host: 8125

  # b2d doesn't support NFS
  config.nfs.functional = false
end

How would I upgrade this box to b2d v0.9.1? Currently my OSX docker client is failing with Error: client and server don't have same version (client : 1.11, server: 1.10).

I tried to update using your instructions above:

$ vagrant box update
WARNING: Could not load IOV methods. Check your GSSAPI C library for an update
WARNING: Could not load AEAD methods. Check your GSSAPI C library for an update
WARNING: Nokogiri was built against LibXML version 2.8.0, but has dynamically loaded 2.9.1

Confirmed, I'm still getting b2d v0.8.0:

$ vagrant ssh
