Yeah this is bread and butter for config management tools. You'd either use a template for the config or the lineinfile module for Ansible.

Your template would have something like this:

PermitRootLogin {{ root_login_enabled }}

In it and then you can control which servers allow root login with the root_login_enabled variable.

Got it working. Apparently I missed this step

apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libvirt-dev zlib1g-dev ruby-dev

I don't remember doing that, but maybe I did? Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

What if you do a reinstall? apt --reinstall vagrant-libvirt?

vagrant plugin list

No plugins installed.

So I'm kind of shooting in the dark. Is there a plugins directory under ~/.vagrant.d/?

If there is what happens if you delete it?

what if you do a vagrant plugin list

Do you have a /usr/share/vagrant-plugins/plugins.d/vagrant-libvirt.json file?

Did you do both vagrant and libvirt-vagrant through apt?

yes

Ok I'll look at my laptop when I get back.

Did you do both vagrant and libvirt-vagrant through apt?

I just install it with apt. I haven't tried this way in a long time.

Also, what if an incorrect command screws something up? Then you lose your ability to check history for troubleshooting. You should never be deleting any history.

I use zsh with autocomplete so I rely on history pretty heavily
