manageiq-vagrant-dev

Vagrantfile and scripts to start a developer environment for ManageIQ Vagrant.

Introduction

The script is currently designed in the following way:

  • Your should clone the environment into an empty directory with all the scripts in it (i.e. ~/Vagrant/manageiq-vagrant-dev)
  • The script makes some suppositions
    • Vagrant is installed
    • Ansible is installed in your host machine
    • Virtualbox is installed

The process

The Vagrant file will create a VM using fedora25-cloud as a basis and proceed to configure it for development:

  • Configure the VM with 6 GB and 2 CPU
  • Open port 3000 for UI management
  • Open port 4000 for API management
  • Copy the contents of ~/workspace/manageiq to /manageiq inside the appliance
  • Install python (needed by Ansible) so the Ansible playbook.yml can be run
  • Configure the OS and install everything needed for development
  • Configure the database, start and enable it and add the user needed
  • Configure rbenv and install ruby 2.3.1
  • Verify if reboot is necessary and then reboot the machine

Limitations

It won't run bin/setup to download the gems and run the database migration, so you can test them. It won't execute bin/rails evm:start to start the service that you will find in localhost:3000 Synchronization is only done once because the strategy is rsync (you need to call vagrant rsync to resynchronize)

Adapting the Vagrantfile

  • You can add additional folders to be synchronized
  • It is possible to use other synchronization strategies. Many of them allow bidirectional synchronization so you can see your changes in real time
  • You can change the resources in the VM
