Generic dev box

Notes

• Notes and playbooks shall improve. But for now, be content with monthly/weekly virtualbox builds

Needs playbooks improvement:

• Needs to upgrade golang to latest version to install direnv properly
• Needs to upgrade postgres to 9.4 to enable jsonb for first-circle-app
• Needs to download first circle repo and prepare everything via the playbooks
• Remove digitalocean

Preparation

Download Vagrant 1.9.3 Download VirtualBox 5.1.16 r113841

Copy the config:

cp box.yml{.sample,}

Edit the box.yml to pick your own settings for the virtual machine. vagrant up to start the VM.

ssh-add /path/to/your/private_key
ssh-copy-id -i /path/to/your/public_key.pub vagrant@ip.of.vagrant.box

vagrant user's password is vagrant.

Hosts file

Copy hosts.sample to hosts:

cp hosts{.sample,}

Then edit the file to point to the IP of the virtual machine. Later, when running the playbooks, we will specify what group to use.
