Vagrant development box

This box is a starting point for new projects. This box has been tested on OSX, it should work on Linux and it might work on Windows.

Prerequisites

These are things you need to install once on your machine to use this box.

Then run:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

Starting a new project

To start a new project run:

python setup.py --directory <project-directory> [--remote <new repo url>]

Only one project member needs to do this.

If you have personal configuration needs or tools you need installed that are not used by the project. e.g: custom dotfiles. Create a ~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile and call provisioning to install your config/tools.

Your project might need to expose servers to the host OS (so that you can open websites in a brower etc). To forward a port open the ./Vagrantfile a line like this:

config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: <port nr>, host: <port nr>

Each project menber can now clone the new repo

git clone <repo url>

Starting the box

vagrant up dev
vagrant ssh dev
cd /vagrant

This will place you inside the directory shared with the host OS.

Stopping the box

vagrant halt dev

This will shutdown the virtual machine.

Software

SaltStack is used to install software to change what is installed have a look at the documentation. For a quicker provisioning process you should remove software that you do not need in your project.

The main file to include or exclude software is ./salt/roots/salt/top.sls.

After adding new software to the saltstack configuration run:

vagrant provision

Test environment on Azure

You need to create certificates before you can start and stop the test environment.

Manage certificates

Generate keys

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout .azure/myPrivateKey.key -out .azure/myCert.pem
chmod 600 .azure/myPrivateKey.key
openssl x509 -outform der -in .azure/myCert.pem -out .azure/myCert.cer

Combine .azure/myCert.pem and .azure/myPrivateKey.key and transform into .azure/myCertPfx.pem.

openssl pkcs12 -export -in .azure/myCert.pem -inkey .azure/myPrivateKey.key -out .azure/myCert.pfx
openssl pkcs12 -in .azure/myCert.pfx -out .azure/myCertPfx.pem -nodes

Upload .azure/myCert.cer to https://manage.windowsazure.com/#Workspace/AdminTasks/ListManagementCertificates. .azure/myCertPfx.pem and .azure\myPrivateKey.key are used in the Vagrantfile.

The .azure should be shared by all project members.

Edit ./Vagrantfile

Set your password to the box and your subscription_id

password = '#########' # min 8 characters. should contain a lower case letter, an uppercase letter, a number and a special character
azure.subscription_id = '####################################'

Starting the box

vagrant up azure --provider=azure
vagrant ssh azure
cd /vagrant

This will place you inside the directory shared with the host OS.

Stopping the box

vagrant halt azure
