About

This is a Vagrant environment which installs racktables for development purposes.

Right now this is work in progress and many things can change.

Known limitations

• tested with vagrant 1.9.7 and 2.0.1 with LXC and Libvirt provider
• vagrant box tested under Ubuntu 16.04 with Apache 2.4 and php-fpm 7.0
• REALLY dumb credentials, what did you expect from development setup? ;)
• ansible playbook uploads racktables app to virtual machine, does not use vagrant auto mounted directories

Requirements

• locally installed Vagrant
• locally installed Ansible 2.2.1.x

Initial start

1. check out this repo to vagrant-racktables recursively:

git clone --recursive http://... vagrant-racktables

2. Start up virtual machine:

vagrant up

3. Go to web interface, fill in entries for user/pass, and to process creation of the racktables secret.php and db install.
4. When requested by installer (in step 4) run vagrant provisioner to set permissions on secret.php

vagrant provision --provision-with=app

5. Continue install finalization, it should redirect you to the login form
6. Log in to application.

Destroy and recreate vm

Delete vm with all data:

vagrant destroy -f

Tricks

Wipe without vm destruction

Wipe racktables secret.php without destroying vm:

ansible-playbook -i .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory -e racktables_reinstall=true play_racktables.yml

.. but notice that db scripts may fail.

Ansible vars

See group_vars/ directory.
