Use islandora/8 to pull a fully built box from vagrant cloud

[dannylamb]

GitHub Issue: Islandora/documentation#1494

What does this Pull Request do?

I'm uploading a box to vagrant cloud as islandora/8. This PR points to this box by default, so that when people hit vagrant up, it will download a fully built box and "just work", as opposed to try and provision with ansible. If you decare the islandora_distro variable to be either centos/7 or ubuntu/bionic64, you'll get the usual dev build.

How should this be tested?

I'll comment on this issue when the upload to vagrant cloud has finished. Once that's done, pull in this PR and vagrant up. Vagrant should download the islandora/8 box and boot up, without provisioning.

Make sure you can vagrant ssh into the box and give it a whirl.

It's the 1.1.0 build, FYI.

Just started the process and it's pulling https://vagrantcloud.com/islandora/boxes/8/versions/1.1.0/providers/virtualbox.box
I'd review this but I don't have permissions to approve on the repo

@DonRichards I'm re-uploading a new box. That one is fine and should totally work, but you can't vagrant ssh into it. I added Vagrant's "insecure key" to the box that's getting uploaded now and will let you know when it's done.

I'll also see what it takes to get you to approve.

[dannylamb]

@DonRichards I sent you an invite to the islandora-devops org. You should have approval permissions once you accept.

Odd problem
Something is hard coded in the VM "/home/daniel/Code/Environments/islandora-playbook/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-cloudimg-console.log"

ah dangit, we have the same issue when we pass around ova's

[dannylamb]

@DonRichards I uploaded a new version of the base box overnight and removed the serial port / logging stuff that I know causes the issue you ran into. Want to try it again? You'll have to delete or update the old base box in order to get the newest one.

I'll put my finding here as well

# This line is a suggestion but doesn't impact this. Increases the timeout to 30 minutes.
config.vm.boot_timeout = 1800


config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    ...
     # These 2 are needed to disable the serial port
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--uart1", "0x3F8", "4"]
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--uartmode1", "disconnected" ]

[DonRichards]

I ran the following

$ vagrant destroy -f
$ vagrant box remove islandora/8
$ git pull
# switch to PR-179
$ time vagrant up

....
   vagrant up  4.88s user 1.88s system 13% cpu 50.410 total

It took 50 seconds to build. And looks good.

[DonRichards]

Works as expected.

I'd like to see instructions on how to build a dev box ("If you decare the islandora_distro variable to be either centos/7 or ubuntu/bionic64, you'll get the usual dev build.") in the README. Building a 1.1.0 box by default is awesome but devs might not want that. I am happy to open a PR.
