Seven Databases in Seven Weeks, using Vagrant.

7dbsbox

This is a Vagrant box for experimenting with the databases described in the Pragmatic Studios book Seven Databases in Seven Weeks.

The default ports for the various databases will be forwarded to your local machine (the VM host), so that you transparently can connect to localhost.

1.5gb ram is set aside for the VM so that it can run all seven databases relatively comfortable. If this amount is too high for you, simply edit the value inside Vagrantfile and uncomment the databases you don't need in bootstrap.sh.

Instructions:

• Download and install Vagrant (only tested with 1.2.x)
• Clone this repo and run vagrant up from the root dir.

See specific instructions for the various databases below.
