The cycle for a dev environment with virtual machine: build→ provision→destroy

build

Let's follow an example. Let's say that:

git repository is located at /home/pburgos/Development/Repositories/bitbucket/almasw
acs binary is located at /home/pburgos/.acsenv/versions/COMMON-2020JUN/dist
acs_working is located at /home/pburgos/.acsenv/versions/COMMON-2020JUN/working

Code Block

language	bash
title	vagrant up

vagrant --acs_repo=/home/pburgos/Development/Repositories/bitbucket/almasw --acs_binary=/home/pburgos/.acsenv/versions/COMMON-2020JUN/dist --acs_working=/home/pburgos/.acsenv/versions/COMMON-2020JUN/working up acs01

This command will retrieve Centos7 box, and configure the mount points as nfs shares. It will ask for the administrator password to setup the NFS.

If a public_ip was specified for the machine in boxes_config.yml, then the user will be prompted to select the network interface to bridge to:

Code Block

language	bash

vagrant --acs_repo=/Users/pburgos/Development/Repositories/bitbucket/almasw --acs_binary=/Users/pburgos/.acsenv/versions/COMMON-2020JUN/dist --acs_working=/Users/pburgos/.acsenv/versions/COMMON-2020JUN/working up acs01

provision

destroy

You can destroy you VM to create a new one. These can happed when a different acs_binaries is needed.

Let's say I want to destroy acs01. First I verified the status of that machine

Code Block
❯ vagrant status Current machine states: acs01 running (virtualbox) acs02 not created (virtualbox)

To destroy acs01 VM we issue:

Code Block

❯ vagrant destroy acs01
    acs01: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'acs01' VM? [y/N] y
==> acs01: Forcing shutdown of VM...
==> acs01: Destroying VM and associated drives...
==> acs01: Pruning invalid NFS exports. Administrator privileges will be required...

Let's verified it was destroyed:
