I am very new to vagrant. Just started working on it. 
I wanted to know what does this mean - "nightly vagrant box that has all custom services prepackaged".
I have some custom java service which I need to deploy in my box. 
 Basically is this  vagrant provisioning ? Does it mean creating a setup.sh file containing all custom service and used in vagrant file?

Thanks,

Alvaro Miranda Aguilera

Hi,
Basically I was asked to do - getting basically a nightly vagrant box that has all "custom services" prepackaged. So this would involve using "custom script"  to build and deploy "custom service" to a local dc and then doing a vagrant save.

Not sure what does this mean.

I think the best is get the person sharing this task with you to write down the goals and the success criteria.

Otherwise you will end doing a lot of loops and he may never be happy.

This is what I understand.

You are being ask to create a process that the result will be a Vagrant box.

Because they told you to use "vagrant save" that tells me the they *may* be referring to vagrant package to create a new vagrant box.

So, assuming what I understand is correct the workflow they are telling you is.

- Create a Vagrant project that have all the dependencies, etc your company use
- Run that every night
- create a vagrant box every night
- put that box into the company web server


when you are there, I will suggest move the task into packer that is a more fit tool to create vagrant boxes, but to get you started, start doing what they are suggesting.

but get them to show you more, and guide you.

If you want to learn vagrant, happy to help you started:

- Install virtualbox
- Install latest vagrant from downloads in vagrantup.com

then do:

mkdir precise64
cd precise64
vagrant init -m hashicorp/precise64
vagrant up

done, your fist vagrant is created

Then read:


And play here:

Good luck!

Feel free to came back any time you have questions :D

Hello,

I think we can start from the basics.

- Install vagrant version 1.8+
- Install virtualbox

Then do this:

mkdir precise64
cd precise64
vagrant init -m hashicorp/precise64
vagrant up

That will create a guest VM using a box hosted in atlas.

Whats a box? a VM template in a particular format that vagrant understand.

The box in atlas is here:
https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/boxes/precise64

After you start this VM, you can see the guest running and the base box was added to your computer.

vagrant box list

From here, you have 2 paths, update the guest VM and when you are happy with the results, package it and create a new one
or
create a packer project and create a new VM

Let me know where more clarification is needed and happy to help.


If you don't have an atlas account, please create one here:
https://atlas.hashicorp.com/account/new

And then perform the following tutorial:
https://atlas.hashicorp.com/tutorial/packer-vagrant

And we can take it from there.

Alvaro.

Hi,

Thanks a lots, I was able to create VM box. 
Next step for me
a) Clone a git repo 
b) Install custom "install.sh" file"
c) Execute a particular code which basically created all logs file and other stuffs. 

So how to do git clone and execute code in my provision file. ".sh file" 

Thanks,

Hello


I think you want to create your own repo and add code to learn, then you can add external code

Please clarify what you mean by clone repo, I assume you know how to use Git.
Please confirm.

config.vm.provision "shell", path: "provision/<script>"
