I am trying to set the vagrantfile for a machine I use and to run several scripts.

I have a folder called scripts, I have the main script called install.sh and I have four other subfolders (metasploitable, dockers, files, settings)I have read several documentation and posts on the Internet, cannot figure out what is happening!

It is either an error with permission or an error with the files not found. !

Notesl: All scripts were tested, and they work fine from within Linux.

It would be great if someone could help. Below are some of the attempts I made.

Thanks in advance

Attempt 1:

Vagrant file

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--usb", "on"]
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--usbehci", "on"]
  end

  # Provisioning to grant execute permissions to all .sh files in the scripts folder
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
    chmod +x /scripts/*.sh; pwd
  SHELL

  # Folder settings
  config.vm.synced_folder "./scripts", "/scripts/", :mount_options => ["dmode=777", "fmode=666"]

  config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
    s.path = "./scripts/start.sh"
  end

start.sh
hostnamectl set-hostname uow-vuln
echo -e "e[32m [+] Creating the test file e[0m"
touch test_file.txt
# Execute updates.sh script with absolute path
echo -e "e[32m [+]  executing updates.sh e[0m"
/scripts/settings/updates.sh
# Execute sshd.sh script with absolute path
echo -e "e[32m [+] executing sshd.sh script e[0m"
/scripts/metasploitable/sshd.sh

First error:

    default: /tmp/vagrant-shell: line 20: /scripts/metasploitable/sshd.sh: No such file or directory

Second attempt

Vagrant file

  # Provisioning to grant execute permissions to all .sh files in the scripts folder
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
    pwd
    read -p "Press Enter to continue..."
  SHELL
  # Folder settings
  config.vm.synced_folder "./scripts", "/scripts/", :mount_options => ["dmode=777", "fmode=666"]

  config.vm.synced_folder "./scripts/settings", "/scripts/settings/", :mount_options => ["dmode=777", "fmode=666"]
  config.vm.synced_folder "./scripts/metasploitable", "/scripts/metasploitable/", :mount_options => ["dmode=777", "fmode=666"]
  config.vm.synced_folder "./scripts/metasploitable", "/scripts/files/", :mount_options => ["dmode=777", "fmode=666"]
  config.vm.synced_folder "./scripts/dockers", "/scripts/dockers/", :mount_options => ["dmode=777", "fmode=666"]

  config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
    s.path = "./scripts/start.sh"
  end

Start.sh file

#!/bin/bash
echo -e "e[32m [+] Creating the test file e[0m"
touch test_file.txt
# Execute updates.sh script with absolute path
echo -e "e[32m [+]  executing updates.sh e[0m"
/scripts/settings/updates.sh
# Execute sshd.sh script 
echo -e "e[32m [+] executing sshd.sh script e[0m"
/scripts/metasploitable/sshd.sh
# created two simple scripts with only echo command. 
/scripts/settings/test1.sh
/scripts/metasploitable/test2.sh

Error

I even tried to add to start.sh

su vagrant

And many different attempts in between. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
