Overview

This project is a Vagrant box that is provisioned for software development. It is a Linux-based system and has many of the tools needed by a developer already installed. The provisioning mechanism is based on Ansible and allows for user-specific customizations to be applied.

Prerequisites

• Vagrant installed and working

• VirtualBox installed and working

• Virtualization support enabled in your BIOS

• a working internet connection

• Your corporate VPN running (if you want to apply some work-specific plays)

❗	if you don’t enable virtualization support in your BIOS, VirtualBox will not run correctly.

Building

All the components of the environment live in repositories on the internet so there is nothing to build.

💡

Some people have experienced issues when rebuilding a box due to flaky networks, online assets moving to different locations or installation processes changing. When you need your box, you need your box and you don’t have the time to troubleshoot an installation issue. To combat this problem, we’ve decided to change the build model and bake in much of the software into the base image. The trade-off we’ve made to ensure quick and stable rebuilds is a larger initial download. All boxes are currently housed in HashiCorp’s Vagrant Cloud repository.

Installation

Use Git to clone this project, go into the project folder, type vagrant up and go get a cup of coffee. The construction time of the box greatly depends on your internet speeds.

Tips and Tricks

Where is my JDK?

Recent changes to the JDK release schedule have resulted in numerous versions of the JDK available for download, making it difficult to select a version that will meet your needs. We now use SDK Man! to manage JVM installation. The ~/bin folder contains a script that will help you list out the available JVMs and how to install them. The key is to select the proper JVM identifier from the list and use it when invoking the installation command. The JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME environment variables already point to the location that SDK Man! installs the JDK.

I Want To Customize My Box But I’m Not Comfortable With Ansible Yet

The articles How to manage your workstation configuration with Ansible, Manage your workstation with Ansible: Automating configuration and Manage your workstation with Ansible: Configure desktop settings provide a nice recipe you can follow. The author suggests using local.yml as your playbook’s name but our integration expects playbook.yml. Other than that, you should be able to follow the recipe and customize the box to your liking.

Using Snap To Install Applications

💡	Look in the ~/bin folder for scripts that install IDEs and other tools via Snap.

Due to the ever increasing image size, some applications no longer come pre-installed. Those applications, however, can be easily installed via Snap. You can think of a Snap as a Docker image for GUI applications. You can find the popular applications in the Snap Store:

• MicroK8s

• Visual Studio Code

• Atom

• Skype

• Slack

• Chromium

• Firefox

• Brave

• Eclipse

• RubyMine

• PyCharm

• DataGrip

• PhpStorm

• IDEA

• GoLand

• GIMP

Upgrading

Sometimes the Vagrant file changes which can cause some subtle issues, such as creating an orphaned virtual machine. The safest upgrade procedure is the following:

1. vagrant destroy to remove the existing box

2. git pull to download the new files

3. vagrant box outdated to see if newer version of the box is available

4. vagrant box update --box <boxname> to pull down the current version of the box

5. vagrant up to build the new box

RAM and CPU Settings

If you examine the vagrantfile file, you will see that the virtual machine is configured to use 6GB of RAM and 2 CPUs. Feel free to change these values to match your computer’s hardware.

Low Disk Space

If an environment is used long enough, it is likely to run out of disk space. The two main culprits are kernel updates filling up the /boot partition and Docker images filling up the /var/lib/docker partition. You have at least 3 options:

• throw away the environment and start fresh

• clean up the old kernels via sudo apt-get autoremove

• clean up Docker containers via docker rm --volumes --force $(docker ps --all --quiet)

• clean up Docker images, after cleaning up the containers, via docker rmi --force $(docker images --quiet)

Verifying The Setup

Log into the system with a username of vagrant and password of vagrant.

Installed Infrastructure

Docker containers running common infrastructure are installed in /home/vagrant/bin/servers. Look at the docker-compose.yml file to see what services are currently available to use. Run the start.sh script to install and run the servers. You can also start up a single server, eg docker-compose up -d mongodb.

Docker-based IDEs

We’ve deprecated the use of Docker-based IDEs. We’ve found that projects that produce and consume Docker images can be challenging when running from within a container. If Docker in Docker ever becomes mainstream, we’ll look into switching back. See Using Snap To Install Applications for a better alternative.

Applying Your Company Specific Customizations

The system will look for an environment variable named CORPORATE_PLAYS. If the shell running Vagrant specifies the variable such that it points to an Ansible project on GitHub, the plays will be run and the changes applied. For example export CORPORATE_PLAYS=kurron/ansible-pull-transparent.git will result in this playbook getting run. If the environment variable does not exist, the custom provisioning step is not run.

Applying Your Personal Customizations

The system will look for an environment variable named USER_PLAYS. If the shell running Vagrant specifies the variable such that it points to an Ansible project on GitHub, the plays will be run and the changes applied. For example export USER_PLAYS=myaccount/my-custom-tweaks.git will result in the playbook getting run. If the environment variable does not exist, the custom provisioning step is not run.

Customizations: Linux Example

1. create and/or edit ~/.bash_profile

2. add the two variables and save the file

3. open a new shell

4. echo $CORPORATE_PLAYS to verify the new variable has been properly set

5. echo $USER_PLAYS to verify the new variable has been properly set

6. you may have to log out and back in again for the variables to take affect

export CORPORATE_PLAYS=kurron/ansible-pull-transparent.git
export USER_PLAYS=foo/custom-tweaks.git

Customizations: Windows 10 Example

1. In Search, search for and then select: System (Control Panel)

2. Click the Advanced system settings link.

3. Click Environment Variables.

4. In User variables for …​ add CORPORATE_PLAYS variable, pointing it to your plays on GitHub

5. In User variables for …​ add USER_PLAYS variable, pointing it to your plays on GitHub

6. In Search, search for and then select: Command (Command Prompt)

7. echo %CORPORATE_PLAYS% to verify that your new variable has been properly set

8. echo %USER_PLAYS% to verify that your new variable has been properly set

Gather Docker Container Metrics

sudo csysdig -pcontainer will fire up the sysdig tool. Use F2 to switch to the container view and see how each container is using system resources. Explore some examples of how to use Sysdig and see how can aid in troubleshooting.

Sub-Projects

💡	We’ve moved away from using ansible-pull and to using Ansible Roles, which give us a better mechanism for reusing provisioning logic. You can find a list of available roles in my Ansible Galaxy account. More are sure to be included over time.

Installed Software (partial list)

• current JDK

• SDKMAN! to manage various JVM tools, including Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, Java, VisualVM, Vert.x, Grails, Gradle, sbt, Maven, Ant and Leiningen

• NodeJS and npm

• Packer

• Terraform

• AWS CLI

• Docker

• Docker Compose

• Docker Machine

• various JetBrains IDEs

• httpie - a more friendly alternative to cURL and wget

Troubleshooting

My Favorite App Is Missing!

Due to ever increasing image size, some applications no longer come pre-installed. See Using Snap To Install Applications for more details.

My Customization Script No Longer Works!

The custom Ansible playbooks are now launched using the normal user account instead of the root account. You should check your playbook to ensure that Become: True are on the plays that require them. Another place to check is the Ansible code itself. The newest release has moved beyond deprecation and has removed some constructs. I noticed it with some of my plays that use iteration.

Vagrant Box Does Not Come Up

If you find that when you are building a new box that it does not come up, try going into the Settings→USB section of your box in the VirtuabBox UI and disabling the USB controller. If you want USB support, make sure you have installed VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.

You should also double check that you have enabled virtualization support in your BIOS.

Partial Failure

Sometimes networks fail or mirror sites go down. If you experience a failure, you can attempt to resume the construction by issuing vagrant provision at the command line. Vagrant will attempt to start over, but will skip any provisions that have already taken place.

Cannot Acquire Repository Lock

💡	We’ve altered some of the installation logic to perform the retry logic described below automatically so you probably don’t have to worry about this scenario any longer.

One of the first steps is to update the APT repositories via apt-get update which every once in a while can fail. What appears to happen in those cases is that the Ubuntu GUI has already acquired the lock and is running the update on its own. The solution is to wait a bit and then reset the environment so that provisioning can continue. This issue will manifest in "Ansible is not installed" errors.

1. vagrant ssh

2. sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock to remove the lock file

3. sudo apt-get update — repeat this step until you can successfully acquired the lock and update

4. sudo rm /var/ansible-install

5. exit

6. vagrant provision should resume the provisioning of the box

My Git settings are all wrong!

You need to specify a custom Git configuration file. The best way to do that is to create and apply your own customizations.

I’m running Windows 7 and Vagrant hangs!

You need to install a current version of Windows Management Framework and then reboot your machine. Apparently, there is a compatibility issue older PowerShell and newer Vagrant versions.

When updating my box, I get a metadata error!

Some people have seen the following error:

$ vagrant box update
==> xedhat: Box 'kurron/maipo-xedhat' not installed, can't check for updates.
==> xubuntu: Checking for updates to 'kurron/xenial-xubuntu'
    xubuntu: Latest installed version: 5.1.29
    xubuntu: Version constraints:
    xubuntu: Provider: virtualbox
There was an error while downloading the metadata for this box.
The error message is shown below:

The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

The solution is to vagrant destroy xubuntu followed by vagrant box remove kurron/xenial-xubuntu. The update should work properly now.
