You cannot rebuild Vagrantfile. But you can associate your folder with existing vm.

Short step-by-step (based on this link):

  1. create file named .vagrant
  2. run $ VBoxManage list vms in your terminal
  3. get id hash for desired machine.
  4. put into .vagrant this code: {"active":{"default":"YOUR-ID-HERE"}}
    So you'll get something like this: {"active":{"default":"ec426377-dbe6-4be7-4751-766956e44958"}}
  5. run $ vagrant init (this will create new Vagrantfile)
  6. run $ vagrant up (this will associate your desired folder with running vm)
  7. run $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key
  8. run $ ssh-copy-id -i .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key.pub -p 2222 [email protected], password: vagrant

I don't think there is a way to do that (create a Vagrantfile from an existing VM). From the perspective of Vagrant virtual machines being temporary in nature (build, use, destroy), you're best bet may be to recreate the Vagrantfile again and start over.

If there is something on the VM that you want or need, you could access it directly via VirtualBox, then copy over to the new VM as needed.
