Purpose

Provide reproducible environments for Anki development.

Currently provides only a virtual machine but will be extended to produce a Dockerfile as well.

This is an, as of yet, not incredibly well thought out Vagrantfile and Ansible playbook that provisions an Ubuntu VirtualBox with a lightweight Lubuntu desktop. This emerged as a byproduct of my interest in learning about Vagrant, VirtualBox, Ansible, and Anki development. The Vagrantfile uses Ansible for the following:

• Installs system dependencies required to install Anki from source
• Builds Anki from source
• Installs a few goodies for a better development experience

Please take a look at playbook.yml and Vagrantfile for details. YMMV!

Take a look at the lines I've commented out in Vagrantfile for examples on how to synchronize local folders into the VM.

Prerequisites

• Install VirtualBox, Vagrant, and Ansible.
• Clone Anki into this repo's parent directory, i.e., ../anki
  • This is important as the Vagrantfile and playbook assumes that is where Anki's source code will be.

Usage

• Run vagrant up --provision in this repo.
• Login as user vagrant and password vagrant

TODO

• Install other goodies into Anki's virtual environment
• include some test add-ons
• Install PyCharm?
• Replicate to produce a Dockerfile
