Incorrect IP address range

[matthew-lxr]

Hello,

I am getting the following error, which I am unable to override.

The IP address configured for the host-only network is not within the
allowed ranges. Please update the address used to be within the allowed
ranges and run the command again.

  Address: 10.10.10.10
  Ranges: 192.168.56.0/21

Valid ranges can be modified in the /etc/vbox/networks.conf file. For
more information including valid format see:

  https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_hostonly

From what I understand the need to be changed or ST2 needs to run on a different IP address.

Thanks for the report.

Yeah, looks like it's not recommended anymore to have that IP range for Virtualbox per https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_hostonly

On Linux, macOS and Solaris Oracle VM VirtualBox will only allow IP addresses in 192.168.56.0/21 range to be assigned to host-only adapters.

If you're interested, you can submit a PR to change the IP (to something like 192.168.56.56) so other folks won't have this issue in the future. The code is here:

packer-st2/Vagrantfile.template

Lines 42 to 45 in 28f2bb3

	# Expose access to StackStorm via IP
	config.vm.network :private_network,
	ip: "10.10.10.10",
	netmask: "255.255.255.252"

As a workaround, you can add 10.10.10.10 to your /etc/vbox/networks.conf to make it work per Virtualbox instructions.

Alternatively, you can just access the stackstorm web UI via https://127.0.0.1:9000/

Okay, I will take a look at doing the PR. I am not sure how I update /etc/vbox/networks.conf when the box will not start.

The Virtualbox as a service should be running. It's just a st2 box that's not starting. networks.conf setting applies to Virtualbox itself.

You can update /etc/vbox/networks.conf with

      * 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16
      * 2001::/64

restart Virtualbox service and try to run vagrant up for stackstorm box again.

Ah, thank you for the information.

I have submitted #69
It was not clear how to contribute and the build seems to be failing due to the packer provider cancelling.
