minion-vm

Vagrantfile and Dockerfiles to make developing against Mozilla Minion far easier.

minion-vm automatically installs the following Minion components:

Configuring minion-vm

Prior to installation, it is necessary to edit backend.sh to change the default administrator's email address and name:

MINION_ADMINISTRATOR_EMAIL="youremail@yourorganization.org"
MINION_ADMINISTRATOR_NAME="Your Name"

Configuring Vagrant

Edit the BACKEND_SRC, FRONTEND_SRC, and APT_CACHE_SRC variables in Vagrantfile to point to their locations on your local system
Edit the IP addresses in Vagrantfile and vagrant-hosts.sh if you want your private network to use something besides 192.168.50.49 and 192.168.50.50

Running Vagrant

$ vagrant up

That's it! The Minion frontend should now be accessible at http://192.168.50.50:8080, or whatever you set the IP address to.

You can also ssh into your new Minion instances with vagrant ssh minion-frontend and vagrant ssh minion-backend.

Configuring Docker

$ docker build -t 'mozilla/minion-backend'  -f Dockerfile-backend  .
$ docker build -t 'mozilla/minion-frontend' -f Dockerfile-frontend .

Running Docker

$ docker run -d --name 'minion-backend' 'mozilla/minion-backend'
$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name 'minion-frontend' \
    --link minion-backend:minion-backend 'mozilla/minion-frontend'

The Minion frontend should now be accessible over HTTP at the IP address of the system running Docker, on port 8080.

You can also get a shell on your new Minion instances with docker exec -i -t minion-frontend /bin/bash and docker exec -i -t minion-backend /bin/bash.
