7 min readTo reduce the size of a Vagrant VM image, one can start by cleaning up unnecessary files and packages in the virtual machine. This can include removing old logs, caches, and temporary files that are taking up space. Additionally, uninstalling unnecessary software or packages can help decrease the overall size of the VM image.Another way to reduce the size of the Vagrant VM image is to compact the disk. This can be done by zeroing out unused space on the disk and then shrinking the disk image.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to stream data into a file in Elixir: {:ok, file} = File.open("output.txt", [:write]) Enum.each(1..100, fn num -> IO.binwrite(file, to_string(num) <> "\n") end) File.

4 min readTo use YAML files with Vagrant, you can define your virtual machine configurations in a separate YAML file instead of writing them directly in the Vagrantfile. This can make your Vagrantfile cleaner and more organized.To use a YAML file with Vagrant, you need to create a new YAML file (e.g., config.yml) and define your virtual machine configurations in this file using appropriate YAML syntax. You can include configurations such as box, hostname, network settings, provisioners, etc.

4 min readThe "sh" function in Groovy is used to execute shell commands directly from the Groovy script. It allows for interacting with the command line, running external programs, and performing system operations. The "sh" function takes a String parameter containing the command to be executed and returns the output of the command as a String. This function is often used when a Groovy script needs to run system commands or perform actions that require using the shell.

7 min readTo create an .exe file from an Elixir project, you can use tools like Exrm or Distillery. These tools allow you to generate a release package that includes all necessary dependencies and configurations in a standalone executable file.First, you need to add the chosen tool (Exrm or Distillery) to your project's dependencies in the mix.exs file. Then, you will need to configure the tool to build the release for the desired platform (e.g. Windows).

6 min readTo use Ansible with Vagrant locally, you first need to ensure that both Ansible and Vagrant are installed on your machine. You can then create a Vagrantfile to define the virtual machine configuration and provisioning. Within the Vagrantfile, you can specify the Ansible provisioner, which allows you to run Ansible playbooks to configure the virtual machine.You will also need to create an Ansible playbook to define the tasks that you want to run on the virtual machine.
