This is a simple example setup with Hobo and Vagrant. You will need to have Vagrant (http://www.vagrantup.com/) and a provider (Virtualbox, Vmware) installed.
First, start a Virtual Ubuntu 12.04 with ruby 2.0, the latest Hobo and sqlite (it will take some minutes):
git clone https://github.com/iox/vagranthobo.git
cd vagranthobo
vagrant up
Then create a Hobo app:
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant
hobo new mysuperapp --setup
cd mysuperapp
rails s
And of course visit http://localhost:3000 :)
By default this recipe will use Sqlite as a database. If you wish to use postgresql, edit the Vagrantfile like this:
puppet.manifest_file = "manifest_postgresql.pp"
The puppet recipe is executed on machine creation (first time you run vagrant up). If it was already created and you want to keep it, run vagrant provision to run the new recipe and install postgresql.
And finally, when creating the Hobo app, do it like this:
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant
hobo new mysuperapp --setup --database=postgresql
Now edit config/database.yml, and replace all the contents with:
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: utf8
database: mysuperapp_development
pool: 5
template: template0
test:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: utf8
database: mysuperapp_test
pool: 5
template: template0
production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: utf8
database: mysuperapp_production
pool: 5
template: template0
And finish the setup in the console:
cd mysuperapp
rake db:setup
hobo g migration
rails s

Before we ran
hobo new mysuperapp --setup, we moved to the /vagrant folder. This is a shared directory that can be accessed from outside the Virtual Machine, so you can edit the files with your favourite editor :). -
If you work with a Linux machine, you might want to try Vagrant LXC. It's another Vagrant provider that uses "Linux Containers", a very powerful Linux Kernel feature. It's amazingly fast, you won't feel that you using a Virtual Machine. After installing Vagrant LXC, edit the Vagrantfile and uncomment the lines for Vagrant LXC.
