How to run nginx.service after /vagrant is mounted

What I want to do?

I'm trying to make nginx load configurations from /vagrant mounted by vagrant automatically.

So I edited nginx.service to make it boot after shared folder mounted, but it not works.

Certainly nginx has been booted after virtualbox-guest-utils.service, however, it seems to be booted before vagrant.mount (/vagrant). Because nginx couldn't load configurations from /vagrant and it works after running command systemctl restart nginx.service manually.

How to run .service unit after auto generated .mount unit started?

Environment

  • Vagrant 1.8.1
  • Ubuntu Server 15.10 (ubuntu/wily64)
  • VirtualBox 5.0.14

systemctl cat nginx.service

Pattern 1 : Not work

# /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service
# Stop dance for nginx
# =======================
#
# ExecStop sends SIGSTOP (graceful stop) to the nginx process.
# If, after 5s (--retry QUIT/5) nginx is still running, systemd takes control
# and sends SIGTERM (fast shutdown) to the main process.
# After another 5s (TimeoutStopSec=5), and if nginx is alive, systemd sends
# SIGKILL to all the remaining processes in the process group (KillMode=mixed).
#
# nginx signals reference doc:
# http://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html

Summarization previous answers and comments in terms of Ansible (if used for provision):

- name: Copy Nginx Systemd unit to /etc/
  copy:
    src: /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service
    dest: /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service
    remote_src: yes

- name: Change Nginx Systemd unit
  lineinfile:
    path: /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service
    regexp: '^WantedBy='
    line: 'WantedBy={{ vagrant_mount_unit }}'
    state: present

- name: Systemd daemon reload
  systemd:
    daemon_reload: yes

- name: Disable Nginx
  service:
    name: nginx
    enabled: no

- name: Enable Nginx
  service:
    name: nginx
    enabled: yes

Replace {{ vagrant_mount_unit }} by Vagrant mount unit name. It depends from mount point, e.g. if mount point is /home/vagrant/app, unit name would be home-vagrant-app.mount.

I wanted to drop my own answer here as it did seem each answer has parts of a correct answer and some details can be found in comments only.

In this example I have 2 file system mounts in /var/www/mymount1 and /var/www/mymount2

This part of my Vagrantfile:

config.vm.provision "shell", path: "docs/vagrant/init-vagrant.sh"
config.vm.synced_folder "mymount1", "/var/www/mymount1", type: "nfs"
config.vm.synced_folder "mymount2", "/var/www/mymount2", type: "nfs"

I am placing the script below in /docs/vagrant/init-vagrant.sh as its my provisioner file.

# Copy nginx systemd script and make edits in /etc/systemd/system, as updates might change the original in /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service
cp /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service /etc/systemd/system/
# These tell that nginx should not be started before file system mounts are available
echo WantedBy=var-www-mymount1.mount >> /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service
echo WantedBy=var-www-mymount2.mount >> /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service

# Update service symlinks
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl disable nginx.service
systemctl enable nginx.service
