dev-env

This is our automated installation for our development VM images. We are going to be installing the newest version of Fedora Workstation into a virtualbox image, which is then exported to a vagrant box for development purposes.

How to run:

• Step 1: Make sure you generated a private and public key pair using scripts/make_local_ssh.sh
• Step 2: Make sure you've installed both vagrant and packer.
  • brew install packer
  • Download vagrant from their website
  • Download VirtualBox from their website
• Step 3: Run packer build -var-file=public/vars.json -var-file=private/vars.json -force fedora_29.json to build the virtualbox image.
  • Right now, this keeps the virtualbox image mounted in virtualbox-- change keep_input_artifact from true to false, and keep_registered from true to false.
  • Feel free to supply values as you wish by adding -var 'key=value' onto that command. Read more about user variables on the packer website
• Step 4: cd into the vagrant directory, and call the following:
  • vagrant box add conf-dev.box
  • vagrant up
  • vagrant ssh

That's it! Nice and simple!
