Vagrant Machine + Ansible provisioning

Introduction

This repository allows you to setup your own Vagrant machine for local tests as well as provision & deploy the app on a remote server.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Provisioning: Ansible Tested with Vagrant v 1.8 (with local Ansible provisioning) Installation procedure has been verified starting from a Linux operating system, Ubuntu distro, the command examples are referred to that operating system, in case a different OS is used map the corresponding command or action.

OS: Windows 7/8/8.x/10 x86 x86_64

Linux requirements

• Install Virtualbox:

  sudo apt-get install virtualbox

• Install Vagrant:

  sudo apt-get install vagrant

• Install NFS:

  sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap

• Install Git

  sudo apt-get install git

• Install vagrant-hostmanager plugin

  On Ubuntu 16.04 there are a couple of prerequisites in order to be able to install the Vagrant plugin: sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

On Ubuntu 16.04 you will need to patch Ruby in order to make it work, check this question and follow the steps provided for the solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36811863/cant-install-vagrant-plugins-in-ubuntu-16-04

Windows requirements

• Download and install virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org)
• Download and install vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com)
• Download cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com)

• Install following cygwin modules:
  • binutils
  • curl
  • gmp
  • libgmp-devel
  • make
  • python (2.7.x)
  • python-crypto
  • python-openssl
  • python-setuptools
  • git (2.5.x)
  • nano
  • openssh
  • openssl
  • openssl-devel

if windows 8.x or 10: right-click on cigwin.bat -> properties -> advanced: thick "Run as administrator"

• From cygwin terminal Install Ansible:

  easy_install-2.7 pip

  pip install ansible

Installation and provision

• In your working directory clone the required repositories

  git clone https://bitbucket.org/zanichelli/vagrant_base

• Create ssh key (with name id_rsa_vagrant) if needed:

  ssh-keygen -t rsa

  cp id_rsa_vagrant.pub <repo_directory>/roles/webserver_provision/files/public-keys/.

• Go in the directory where you cloned the vagrant_base repository and start the machine provisioning from there. then wait until it completes.

  run vagrant up --provision

  The command provisions and starts the machine.

To start/stop machine

• To start the machine: vagrant up (use --provision if you need to verify the machine is up to date with the latest infrastructure and configuration changes)

• To stop the machine: vagrant halt

Notes

The ip address of your machine is: 172.16.16.16

When code is modified on the cloned repositories on the host machine, the virtual machine see automatically those changes because it maps those dirs.

Adding deploy configurations

Feel free to add deploy configuration for your projects adding ansible tasks to playbook.yml.

To run ansible for deploy apps use:

ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i inventory/<server-inventory> -t "deploy-<appname>-app" -v

in cygwin terminal from Windows or shell terminal in Linux
