Vagrant Ansible for java and node js develop

Background

The box install a number of open source tools to work properly:

• Nodejs - For JavaScript develop
• Java JDK8 - For Java develop
• Docker - For Java develop
• SonarQube - Static Analyses for java project
• JQ For json commandline viewer

Clone Repository

To clone repository you need to add --recursive that import all submodules related.

  git clone --recursive  https://github.com/OElabed/vagrant-ansible.git

Getting Started

This README file is inside a folder that contains a Vagrantfile (hereafter this folder shall be called the [vagrant_root]), which tells Vagrant how to set up your virtual machine in VirtualBox.

To use the vagrant file, you will need to have done the following:

1. Download and Install VirtualBox
2. Download and Install Vagrant
3. Install Ansible
4. Open a shell prompt (Terminal app on a Mac) and cd into the folder containing the Vagrantfile

Once all of that is done, you can simply type in vagrant up, and Vagrant will create a new VM, install the base box, and configure it.

Once the new VM is up and running (after vagrant up is complete and you're back at the command prompt), you can log into it via SSH if you'd like by typing in vagrant ssh. Otherwise, the next steps are below.

Setting up your hosts file

You need to modify your host machine's hosts file (Mac/Linux: /etc/hosts; Windows: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts), adding the line below:

192.168.45.10  develop.vm

If you'd like additional assistance editing your hosts file, please read How do I modify my hosts file? from Rackspace.

Vagrant provision with Ansible

Vagrant allows you to configure and use reproducible work environments on top of various virtualization and cloud platforms. It also has integration with Ansible as a provisioner for these virtual machines, and the two tools work together well.
