Editing Setting Up Vagrant Environment
Vagrant designed to run through multiple platforms including currently Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RedHat and Fedora, in this document we will handle how to configure and run OpenDSA-server virtual development environment through Vagrant from scratch to up and running, on Ubuntu environments.
To configure Vagrant inside Ubuntu environment, we should to follow the following sections
· Installing Vagrant
· Create Vagrant Machine Folders
· Creating New Virtual Machine
· Downloading Virtual Machine Configuration Script Shell
· Configuring Permissions for Virtual Machine Configuration Script Shell
First thing, you need to install vagrant packages from advanced packaging tool apt-get.
This will require you to enter your password, enter it and confirm to download.

Folders could be created based on your choice; in our case, we will create the following folder in the home folder:
Vagrant -> Projects -> OpenDSA
|
administrator@host01:~$ mkdir Vagrant administrator@host01:~$ mkdir Vagrant/Projects administrator@host01:~$ mkdir Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA administrator@host01:~$ cd ~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ |
We should create new virtual machine for our usage based on the trusty64 box, to do so we will download vagrantfile in the folder already created for this virtual machine OpenDSA, we should initialize the virtual machine there.
|
administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenDSA/OpenDSA-server/NewKA/Vagrantfile A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on `vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant. administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ ls Vagrantfile |
Vagrantfile will contain any custom settings you want to add on the virtual machine like amount of memory, networking, shared folders, settings … Anything specified here will override the defaults.
We need to download this file to execute it inside the newly created virtual machine, currently we have file version OpenDSA-server-Provisioning.sh, and we will download it directly inside the virtual machine folder in the host so it will be already shared inside our guest virtual machine.
|
administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenDSA/OpenDSA-server/NewKA/OpenDSA-server-Provisioning.sh |
Before executing the configuration script shell, it requires giving it proper permissions; else, we will face many errors during script execution, we need specifically the permission to execute or run the file as a program, this permission will be given through the following command.
|
administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ chmod +x OpenDSA-server-Provisioning.sh |
Now is the time to run the created virtual machine for first time.
|
administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox'provider... [default] Importing base box 'trusty64'... [default] Matching MAC address for NAT networking... [default] Setting the name of the VM... [default] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports... [default] Creating shared folders metadata... [default] Clearing any previously set network interfaces... [default] Preparing network interfaces based on configuration... [default] Forwarding ports...

[default] Configuring and enabling network interfaces... [default] Mounting shared folders... [default] -- /vagrant |
By default it forward the port 22 (ssh) to port 2222 and mounts the shared folder where the virtual machine located OpenDSA to /vagrant in the virtual machine.
Let’s start to use our new virtual machine, first we need to connect through ssh, it will open a ssh console to the virtual.
|
administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ vagrant ssh Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic-pae i686) * Documentation:https://help.ubuntu.com/ Welcome to your Vagrant-built virtual machine. Last login: Fri Sep 14 06:22:31 2012 from 10.0.2.2 vagrant@trusty64:~$ |
To close ssh just type exit as below, you might to type it twice
|
vagrant@trusty64:~$ exit logout There are stopped jobs. vagrant@trusty64:~$ exit logout Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed. administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ |
We need to configure virtual machine to make it ready for course work; this will be through running the configuration script inside the newly created virtual machine, it will just ask you about your account’s password to be used during configuration and just wait to finish, it will take some time to finish.
|
vagrant@trusty64:~$ /vagrant/OpenDSA-server-Provisioning.sh Enter password to be used for sudo commands:vagrant |
Now you can access OpenDSA-server through http://192.168.33.10:8080/
After you finish your working, you need either to suspend and resume your virtual machine or turn it off; you can use one of the following commands upon your choice.
|
administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ vagrant suspend administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ vagrant resume administrator@host01:~/Vagrant/Projects/OpenDSA$ vagrant halt |
