The host specified in `config.managed.server` is not reachable.

[rchekaluk]

Able to "vagrant up" (link) but issuing either "vagrant ssh" or "vagrant provision" returns this error:

==> default: Warning! The ManagedServers provider doesn't support any of the Vagrant
==> default: high-level network configurations (`config.vm.network`). They
==> default: will be silently ignored.
==> default: The host specified in `config.managed.server` is not reachable.

Very simple Vagrantfile per README.md :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "tknerr/managed-server-dummy"

  config.vm.provider :managed do |managed, override|
    managed.server                = "REDACTED.DOMAIN.COM"
    override.ssh.username         = 'REDACTED-USERNAME'
    override.ssh.private_key_path = '/home/REDACTED-USERNAME/.ssh/id_rsa'

  end
end

Yet, the server is reachable:

$ ping REDACTED.DOMAIN.COM
PING REDACTED.DOMAIN.COM (1.2.3.4) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from REDACTED.DOMAIN.COM (1.2.3.4): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.548 ms

64 bytes from REDACTED.DOMAIN.COM (1.2.3.4): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.844 ms

Versions:

$ vagrant --version
Vagrant 1.6.5

$ vagrant plugin list
vagrant-login (1.0.1, system)
vagrant-managed-servers (0.3.0)
vagrant-share (1.1.2, system)

Am I doing something wrong? What gives?

Is it possible to have the plugin provide some kind of --debug or --verbose option that can reveal greater detail about the specific network operation that failed?

[tknerr]

Yes the error message is not very precise atm, it can currently mean
anything between:

• host not reachable
• host reachable, but ssh port not open
• host reachable, ssh port open, but auth failed

From your description it looks like the host is reachable though.

Can you try logging in to the vm via the supplied ssh credentials in
addition to pinging?

Any PRs on improving that are heartily welcome. This is indeed quite
confusing currently...

In fact I already wanted to do this some time ago, but I never finished it so it's commented out now:
https://github.com/tknerr/vagrant-managed-servers/blob/master/lib/vagrant-managed-servers/action/read_state.rb#L23-41

Would be a good base to start though...

[rchekaluk]

I spent a few hours looking at your draft code, but I don't have any experience with Vagrant internals so it's going slow.

I don't follow the intent or usage of methods action_read_state, read_state, or state. Using the vagrant-managed-server development process, I cannot invoke:

$ bundle exec vagrant read_state my_server

Can you either give some guidance, or finish up this feature yourself?

I was wondering if it's possible to expose existing Vagrant errors that occur during a connection attempt?

[tknerr]

Hi @rchekaluk,

right, bundle exec vagrant read_state my_server will not work, but bundle exec vagrant up fake_managed_server should work.

You can also have a look what happens when you run bundle exec rake acceptance:
https://github.com/tknerr/vagrant-managed-servers/blob/master/Rakefile#L14-23

The intent of the read_state related methods are to read the state from the managed server, i.e. it currently only checks whether it can connect via ssh with the given credentials. The resulting state will be either :running or :not_reachable. The state (or rather a translation of it) is what is shown when you run vagrant status.

Hope that gets you further a bit. I would love to finish that, but right now my time does not allow for it. Maybe mid february I might get a chance though.
