Website/vagrant

This Vagrant setup is still Work in Progress and not ready to use as is.

Disroot Website Development Environment using Vagrant

requirements

1. vagrant 2.2.6 for install on Debian run commands:

   wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.2.6/vagrant_2.2.6_x86_64.deb
   

   sudo dpkg -i vagrant_2.2.6_x86_64.deb
   

   sudo apt install -f
   

2. virtuabox
   for install on Debian Jessie run command:

   sudo apt install virtualbox-6.0
   

   for install on Debian Buster run command:

   sudo echo 'deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch contrib' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
   

   wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
   wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
   

   sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install virtualbox-6.0
   

3. vagrant plugins vagrant-vbguest:
   for install on Debian run commands:

   vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
   

4. git

   sudo apt install git
   

Installation

1. Clone disroot-website repo to disroot-website project folder

   git clone https://git.fosscommunity.in/disroot/disroot-website.git ~/disroot-website
   

2. Add the local domain name for the hub to your host machine's /etc/hosts file.

   echo "192.168.33.12 disroot.lan" >> /etc/hosts
   

3. Launch Vagrant to build the virtual machine (VM). This will take several minutes.

   cd ~/disroot-website/vagrant
   vagrant up disroot_lan
   

Congratulations, you should now have a fully functioning apache+GRAV server running locally in a Virtualbox-hosted VM managed by Vagrant. Next time you want to run vagrant simply run command cd ~/disroot-website/vagrant vagrant up disroot_lan

Enable SSH access

To make your development workflow more efficient, you may wish to use an SSH connection to rapidly synchronize the files you are developing in your local (host machine) development environment.

1. On your host machine, copy your public key.

   user@host:~$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.public
   	ssh-rsa eLX1UQbJHUCHf2V3K7YlMP0YmIT+50rlEsWre1eobApKb0Ac/WbvssX/Gh/ user@host
   

2. Use vagrant ssh disroot_lan to log in to the virtual machine.

   user@host:~$ cd ~/disroot-website/vagrant
   user@host:hubzilla-vagrant$ vagrant ssh disroot_lan
   

3. Switch to root and add your host user public key.

   vagrant@stretch:~$ sudo -i
   root@jessie:~# ssh-keygen
   		Generating public/private rsa key pair.
   		Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):
   		Created directory '/root/.ssh'.
   		Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
   		Enter same passphrase again:
   		Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
   		Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
   		The key fingerprint is:
   		b4:e3:00:40:4f:c5:af:27:05:09:d4:70:29:ac:f8:51 root@jessie
   		The key's randomart image is:
   		+---[RSA 2048]----+
   		| .oo=*oo         |
   		|   +E.*          |
   		| . oo. o.        |
   		|. o  . .o.       |
   		| . .  .oS        |
   		|  .   oo..       |
   		|       o.        |
   		|                 |
   		|                 |
   		+-----------------+
   root@stretch:~# echo "ssh-rsa eLX1UQbJHUCHf2V3K7YlMP0YmIT+50rlEsWre1eobApKb0Ac/WbvssX/Gh/ user@host" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
   

4. From your host machine, you may now SSH into the virtual machine using

   ssh root@disroot.lan
