VagrantImages

A very simple Vagrant box that hosts both HAProxy & NFS to be used by XL-Release :-)

To launch this box, follow below steps : -

1. Download the zipped file on your machine, cd into that directory, remove the Vagrantfile & then issue vagrant init command. This will create a .vagrant directory inside this parent directory & initialise vagrant.
2. Copy back the Vagrantfile from this repository to your current directory. Then issue vagrant up command which will download the Ubuntu 14.04 basebox, start it & then call Chef script that will setup HAProxy alongwith NFS.
3. Now issue vagrant ssh command to check the newly built box.

Caveats : -

Edit the haproxy.cfg & /etc/exports file to reflect your own XLR setup, like host names, IP addresses & directory names.

Known Issues : -

Vagrant will throw below error if your vagrant version is < 1.8.4.

To fix it, remove your old installation of vagrant using rm -rf /opt/vagrant & rm -rf /usr/local/bin/vagrant commands. Afterwards, install the latest version. I have tested it on my current version of 1.8.4.
