Vagrant on chopping block

[Philip Durbin]

I added a Vagrant environment way back in the DVN 3 days but it's become a bit of a maintenance burden.

We're in the middle of bumping the version of Payara, Java, and Solr. Each time, we go back to the Vagrant scripts and tweak them.

These days I've switched to Docker and I don't even have Vagrant installed on my three year old laptop. I think I've convinced myself to just delete Vagrant stuff from the code base.

I'm writing mostly to give a heads up. If anyone out there wants to maintain the Vagrant code, maybe it can be moved to another repo? If you have an opinion about Vagrant, please let me know.

Thanks,

Phil

p.s. Here's our current writeup of Vagrant: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.14/developers/tools.html#vagrant

As implied above, these days we're encouraging Docker instead: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.14/container/dev-usage.html
