vagrant

Local development with Vagrant

Setup

• [install virtual box] (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
• [install vagrant] (http://downloads.vagrantup.com/)
• setup a base box

Drop to the command line in the vagrant/package_creation folder and run

vagrant up

del package.box If package.box exists

vagrant package

copy package.box ..\boxes\ubuntu_dev.box /y

vagrant destroy -f

This will setup a base box that is similar to our Rightscale ubuntu image named ubuntu_dev.

Examples

To start an operations vm, drop to the command in the vagrant/operations folder and run

vagrant box remove ubuntu_dev If an ubuntu_dev box already exists from a previous package

vagrant up

To ssh in (from windows) use putty and connect to port 2222 against ip 127.0.0.1. Use the ppk file that is in the boxes folder.
