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.

==> default: [2017-01-03T07:36:04+00:00] INFO: HTTP Request Returned 404 Not Found: Parent not found: chefzero://localhost:8889/nodes

==> default: -------------------
==> default: The server returned a HTTP 404. This usually indicates that your chef_server_url is incorrect.

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.

NFS Client Settings : -

Install NFS client by issing apt-get install nfs-client

Create any directory (you will put this directory under Location property in XLR conf files). Now issue below command to mount the NFS share. Ofcourse, change the location to the new directory you just created ;-)

mount -t nfs 10.10.50.10:/home/vagrant/nfs-artifacts /home/shashank/nfs-share/
