[vagrant-up] Homestead slow boot?

Discussion:

Christopher Alevizopoulos

2018-10-26 11:59:13 UTC

Hello,

I'm using Vagrant with VMWare, I installed VMWare Fusion Pro v11.0.0
(10120384) on macOS 10.14 (18A391),
then installed Vagrant v2.2.0 and vagrant-vmware-desktop 2.0.0, after that
the license was also successfully added and I followed the instructions in
the Laravel documentation to install Homestead.

Up until now homestead seems to work fine but the time it takes to boot
(>2min) seems to me very slow and I'm wondering if something is wrong. When
I boot homestead it takes a-lot of time to move past the "*Verifying vmnet
devices are healthy...*" message and then it also gets stuck after the "*Forwarding
ports...*" message.

Once, when I tried to halt the VM I got the following error:

Vagrant encountered an error while attempting to inspect VMware

for current version information:

Failed attempting to check VMware version

then I tried to halt the machine again and it was successfully halted.

I was using vagrant with VirtualBox before I bought the plugin to boost
performance, and in my old setup VirtualBox Homestead would boot alot
faster on a older MAC, I was expecting Homestead to boot alot faster with
the new setup and this behaviour makes me worry that I might have problems
with my installation, maybe some incompatibility with the Mojave OS.

Has anyone experienced something similar with their setup?

Thank you for your time
Chris

I'm attaching a vagrant info log.

Hi Alvaro,

I will try that when I get some time on my hands.

I'm still unable to find why booting has been so slow, and I still get
random errors that resolve themselves like the following:

Vagrant encountered an error while attempting to prune unused

port forward entries:

Failed to delete port forward

my best guess: ist OSX Mojave related, I was unable to find any solution so
far and I will probably go back to using Virtual Box.

I opened a ticket with support and if I get a response I will post it here
for future reference.

hello.

I can't comment on if VMWre should be faster then Virtualbox, or why is not.

I personally use Virtualbox and runs fine.

If you can run commands with time, we can compare times.

here goes what I mean.

I installed a Homestead box running from Virtual Box in parallel with
Homestead running from Fusion, then I timed vagrant up as you suggested

Virtual Box:
real 0m32.602s
user 0m4.619s
sys 0m1.937s

Fusion:
real 2m16.893s
user 0m4.396s
sys 0m0.599s

Virtual Box is the winner, not only does it load faster, but it runs
smoother as well, I don't get the random self resolving errors I have with
Fusion.

Despite what they say in the Laravel website, that Fusion shares files
faster with your host, the time it takes to boot makes me want to use
Virtual Box anyway, when I change something in my box I have to take a
coffee break for Fusion to reboot.

It's been three days since I opened a ticket with support and I have
received no answer, I can't wait for them any more, also If you go the the
vagrant website It's hard to find any mention about support (I bet if I
compare it with Parallels that will trigger a response!).

With my experience so far, if you consider buying the Vagrant VMWare tool,
don't buy it unless you see or read about it working smoothly on your
setup. In my case, the open source solution feels reliable and supported
(virtual box), and the paid tool (Fusion with Vagrant VMWare plugin) feels
like I wasted my time and money.

Alvaro hi

I really appreciate the offer but I prefer to keep it, I'm now using
Virtual Box with vagrant, that is also developed by Hashicorp, it works
great and I'm grateful for that.

But support for the VMWare plugin should be more accessible from the
Vagrant website, the client should not feel alone with his product.

Thank you
Christopher

I installed a Homestead box running from Virtual Box in parallel with
Homestead running from Fusion, then I timed vagrant up as you suggested
real 0m32.602s
user 0m4.619s
sys 0m1.937s
real 2m16.893s
user 0m4.396s
sys 0m0.599s
Virtual Box is the winner, not only does it load faster, but it runs
smoother as well, I don't get the random self resolving errors I have with
Fusion.
Despite what they say in the Laravel website, that Fusion shares files
faster with your host, the time it takes to boot makes me want to use
Virtual Box anyway, when I change something in my box I have to take a
coffee break for Fusion to reboot.
It's been three days since I opened a ticket with support and I have
received no answer, I can't wait for them any more, also If you go the the
vagrant website It's hard to find any mention about support (I bet if I
compare it with Parallels that will trigger a response!).
With my experience so far, if you consider buying the Vagrant VMWare
tool, don't buy it unless you see or read about it working smoothly on your
setup. In my case, the open source solution feels reliable and supported
(virtual box), and the paid tool (Fusion with Vagrant VMWare plugin) feels
like I wasted my time and money.

So I installed vagrant 2.2.0, vmware utility 1.0.5 and upgraded the plugins,
but homestead is still booting slow.
Then I tried the hashicorp/precise64 box, and its also taking more than
2 minutes to boot

Hi Alvaro,
I will try that when I get some time on my hands.
I'm still unable to find why booting has been so slow, and I still get
Vagrant encountered an error while attempting to prune unused
Failed to delete port forward
my best guess: ist OSX Mojave related, I was unable to find any
solution so far and I will probably go back to using Virtual Box.
I opened a ticket with support and if I get a response I will post it
here for future reference.

hello
if you are familiar installing homestead, i would suggest if you can
try with a different box.

Hello,
I'm using Vagrant with VMWare, I installed VMWare Fusion Pro v11.0.0
(10120384) on macOS 10.14 (18A391),
then installed Vagrant v2.2.0 and vagrant-vmware-desktop 2.0.0,
after that the license was also successfully added and I followed the
instructions in the Laravel documentation to install Homestead.
Up until now homestead seems to work fine but the time it takes to
boot (>2min) seems to me very slow and I'm wondering if something is wrong.
When I boot homestead it takes a-lot of time to move past the "*Verifying
vmnet devices are healthy...*" message and then it also gets stuck
after the "*Forwarding ports...*" message.
Vagrant encountered an error while attempting to inspect VMware
Failed attempting to check VMware version
then I tried to halt the machine again and it was successfully halted.
I was using vagrant with VirtualBox before I bought the plugin to
boost performance, and in my old setup VirtualBox Homestead would boot alot
faster on a older MAC, I was expecting Homestead to boot alot faster with
the new setup and this behaviour makes me worry that I might have problems
with my installation, maybe some incompatibility with the Mojave OS.
Has anyone experienced something similar with their setup?
Thank you for your time
Chris
I'm attaching a vagrant info log.
