Development Environment Setup

[yogeen patel]

Hi everyone,

I am new in the vagrant. I want to automate the my environment setup, so that whenever new team member join or I change the machine. I just need to one click and all set. Now after some research I found the vagrant is one of the solution for that. But in all the resources they create the virtual environment setup.

Did I miss anything to understand ? Can any one help me to guide one click setup for my new machine using vagrant ?

Thanks,
Yogeen Loriya

What do you mean by "all set"? Do you mean that that new team member now has
a Vagrant machine of their own to work in, which is the same as the one you
are already working in?

Well, Vagrant is a development environment - it will give you virtual machines
according to a build recipe (which may be your own, or may be one you use from
a library), but it's not a configuration management system like puppet, ansible
or chef are.

Well yes, that's what Vagrant is for. What do you want it to do instead?

What operating system do you want to run Vagrant under?

Have you followed the guides at

https://www.vagrantup.com/intro/getting-started/
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/

to get Vagrant installed and running on your system?

Help us understand a bit better what you are trying (or hoping) to use vagrant
to achieve.

What do you mean by "all set"?  Do you mean that that new team member now has
a Vagrant machine of their own to work in, which is the same as the one you
are already working in?

            All set means whole environment setup on local machine not in virtual environment

Well, Vagrant is a development environment - it will give you virtual machines
according to a build recipe (which may be your own, or may be one you use from
a library), but it's not a configuration management system like puppet, ansible
or chef are.

                So it'll setup the vagrant environment setup as per my build recipe on virtual machine. correct me if i'm wrong.

Well yes, that's what Vagrant is for.  What do you want it to do instead?

                Instead of that i want to setup whole development environment on my new machine.

Hi Antony,

I have made good experience with using Vagrant + Chef to automate developer VMs, then export it as an .ova image for distributing it to the team, e.g. as in here:
https://github.com/Zuehlke/java-developer-vm

Step-by-step instructions:

HTH, Torben
