Environment for riak_core_tutorial.

The environment requires VirtualBox (tested with version 4.3.10) and Vagrant (tested with version 1.6.3) with the following plugins:

• vagrant-omnibus that ensures the desired version of Chef is installed (tested with version 1.4.1);
• vagrant-librarian-chef that install Chef cookbooks using Librarian-Chef (tested with version 0.2.1).

To install the plugins follow the instructions below.

To install the environment run:

git clone https://github.com/mentels/riak_core_tutorial_env rct_env
cd rct_env
vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus
vagrant plugin install vagrant-librarian-chef
vagrant up

NOTE:

• installing the plugins is required only once;
• running vagrant up for the first time can take few minutes.

Then ssh into the virtual machine: vagrant ssh.

The code required for the tutorial sits in /home/vagrant/synced/. It can be edited from your machine because the local ./synced directory is synchronized with /home/vagrant/synced in the VM.

When you finish you can stop the VM by running vagrant halt or event destroy it with vagrant destroy (both from the host).
