#Install notes#

On linux: (Tested on fedora 21/22).

You will need: *vagrant and its dependencies *ansible and its dependencies *virtualbox (virtualbox extensions are not a requirement) *open-ssh *bash

If you are a fan of cows install package: cowsay. Ansible logs will look like:

 ___________________________________________
< NOTIFIED: postgres | start postgresql-9.4 >

For Cygwin: See the cygwin directory for additional install notes.

1 Set default provider in ~/.bashrc. Otherwise it will try to build for libvirt.

export VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=virtualbox

Alternative: ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] = 'virtualbox' in vagrantfile.

2.1 Setup ssh configuration. The whole setup assumes you create a local login vagrant on the build host. Then setup .ssh (ssh-keygen -t rsa) and copy the keys delivered in the PKI directory over the generated keys. Setting up a new vagrant user can be an issue in none personal hosted environments.

An alternative is to create a standard VM once (use vagrant up ) to get an insecure private key file. Then you could use vagrant ssh-config to generate a template for .ssh/config.

An example for my login:

Paste this into ~/.ssh/config (change home path!)

  Host 192.168.10.16
  HostName build_master
  User vagrant
  Port 22
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  IdentityFile /home/roland/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  LogLevel FATAL

  Host 192.168.10.18
  HostName target
  User vagrant
  Port 22
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  IdentityFile /home/roland/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  LogLevel FATAL

  Host 192.168.10.20
  HostName test
  User vagrant
  Port 22
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  IdentityFile /home/roland/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  LogLevel FATAL

2.2 Add the servers to /etc/hosts on the build host:

192.168.10.16		dev
192.168.10.18		target
192.168.10.20		test
192.168.10.40		windows

3 Optionally: change MEMSIZE in the vagrantfile.

You can increase memory in virtualbox later when needed, but if you have more RAM increasing may speed up the build process. Suggested value: 8192 on a 16G+ system.

4 Run make interactive or make.sh (logs to a file).

make

5 Troubleshooting:

Sometimes you will have to manually remove the directory for the virtualbox machine directory after build failures.

When provisioning fails try manual steps first like: vagrant provision dev

Check /var/log/boot.log inside the virtual servers for startup errors.

Increase log level:

Vagrant: export VAGRANT_LOG=info Ansible: see ansible.cfg file
