Scripts to quickly spin up a dual node Consul cluster for development using Vagrant.
Note: Initial code borrowed from: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/tree/master/demo/vagrant-cluster
To get started from a terminal:
$ git clone https://github.com/chadlung/vagrant-consul.git
$ cd vagrant-consul
$ vagrant box add dhoppe/ubuntu-14.04.3-amd64
$ vagrant up
Once the two VMs are up and running you can log into consul-node1 by running:
$ vagrant ssh consul-node1
Now that your on consul-node1 run this command to start Consul:
$ consul agent -server -bootstrap-expect 1 -data-dir /tmp/consul -ui-dir /usr/share/consul/ui -client 0.0.0.0 -node=consul-agent1 -bind=192.168.33.10 &
In another terminal window (or tab) log into consul-node2 by running:
$ vagrant ssh consul-node2
Now that your on the consul-node2 run this command to start Consul:
$ consul agent -data-dir /tmp/consul -node=consul-agent2 -bind=192.168.33.11 &
To join the cluster from consul-node2 run:
$ consul join 192.168.33.10
To verify the cluster members by running (on either VM):
$ consul members
To shutdown Consul run (on each VM):
$ consul leave
The two Consul VMs will be running with IPs: 192.168.33.10 and 192.168.33.11.
The WebUI will be available at: http://192.168.33.10:8500/ui
