Base Virtual Machine

This repository contains the base structure a virtual machine using Vagrant.

It includes, among others:

• Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty x64) as server, running as VirtualBox VM.
• Apache
• PHP 5.5.16
• MySQL 5.6
• Python 3.4 and 2.7

Requirements:

To execute the VM you must have installed Vagrant and VirtualBox.

Note: For more information see the vagrant documentation

Shared Folders:

By default the entire folder specified on synced_folder property on the configuration file is available on the guest machine,

Configuration:

Rename the config-sample.yaml file to config.yaml. On this file you can set some properties to customize the virtual machine.

#Virtual machine's IP
ip: 192.168.44.10

#Ram quantity intended to the VM
memory: 2048

#Puts your code in this directory
synced_folder: '~/code'

#Virtual machine hostname
hostname: 'basemachine'

Provision:

The provision.sh file contains all scripts to be executed after lifting the VM. An example of this file is create a empty file on the home directory or install apache server.

#Example:
mkdir ~/empty_dir
sudo apt-get install apache2

MySQL client:

Using MySQLWorkbench setup a new Connection, using the connection method called Standard TCP/IP over SSH then fill the inputs with this information

• SSH Hostname: 192.168.44.10:22 (check in your vagrant file)
• SSH Username: vagrant
• SSH Password: vagrant
• MySQL Hostname: 127.0.0.1 (by default)
• MySQL Server Port: 3306 (by default)
• Username: root (by default)
• Password: (blank by default)

You can connect directly to the database using the guess IP (192.168.44.10), but you must configure MySQL to do that.

Installation:

1. Clone this repo in some path: git clone [email protected]:mfuentesg/vagrant_base_machine.git

2. Up VM: vagrant up
