Greenplum Database Sandbox Builder

####Packer-Based Virtual Appliance Build Tool for the Greenplum Database

Requirements:

  • Packer
  • Virtual Box and/or VMware Fusion
  • Greenplum Database Binaries
  • Greenplum Command Center Binaries
  • MADLib Binaries
  • PL/R, PL/Perl, PL/Java Binaries
  • Apache Zepplin Binaries (tar ball)

Modifications Required:

  • Change the following entry in the gpdb-sandbox.json file to point to the absolute path of the directory where you have stored the binaries. Make sure and end the "source" entry with a /. This keeps the directory structure the tool is expecting intact.

    {
      "type": "file",   
      "source": "/Users/dbaskette/Software/GREENPLUM/",   
      "destination": "/tmp/bins/"  
}
  1. Install Packer
  2. Clone Repo
  3. Modify json to point to binary location
  4. execute: packer build -force gpdb-sandbox-multi.json or to build either vbox or vmware add "-only=vbox" or "-only=vmware"

This will generate the OVA which can then be imported into VirtualBox, and/or a zip file for use with VMware
