vagrant tutorial

A set of examples of how to use Vagrant.

getting started

---

You'll need a few things to get started.

1. You'll need to clone this repo.
2. You'll need a fairly recent version of Virtualbox. >=4.2.0
3. You'll need a fairly recent version of Vagrant. >=1.5.1

Once you've installed Virtualbox and Vagrant you can test your setup by:

1. changing into this repo and running vagrant up. Note the first run will take a lot longer as it has to download the base image you'll be using for the rest of this tutorial.
2. You can ssh into the box with vagrant ssh and test networking ping google.com You can test passwordless sudo with sudo id.
3. You'll need one more thing downloaded and installed for some of these exercises: vagrant plugin install vagrant-hosts
4. Lastly you can exit out of the ssh session and free up your resources with vagrant destroy -f

In this there are a couple of Vagrant files to show you some of the basics. These will get you from a clean image to working with configuration management, specifically puppet in this case. There is also an example program that we can test, setup an init script and package.
