Pre-requisites

Bootstrapping

Vagrant provides easy to configure, reproducible, and portable work environments built on top of industry-standard technology and controlled by a single consistent workflow to help maximize the productivity and flexibility of you and your team.

We use Vagrant to setup a base Debian development machine that we use to bootstrap the rest of the project.

To launch a new development VM, just invoke vagrant from the debian folder.

vagrant init ffuenf/debian-7.4.0-amd64
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
vagrant up

SSH access

You can connect to the machine via SSH with vagrant ssh.

If you are running on Windows, then you'll need to install some SSH tools since the OS does not provide it out-of-the-box. Run the Cygwin setup and install the openssh package.

Provisioning

Docker needs a more recent kernel than Debian Wheezy provides, let's install a more recent one:

sudo sh -c "echo deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wheezy-backports.list"
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install -y linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64

We also need to install some native build tools to be able to re-build the VirtualBox guest additions the next time we launch the machine (thanks to the vagrant-vbguest Vagrant plugin we installed before).

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

After that's installed, simply vagrant reload your machine and the VirtualBox extras should automatically work.

Now we can install Docker from the official repo:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 36A1D7869245C8950F966E92D8576A8BA88D21E9
sudo sh -c "echo deb http://get.docker.io/ubuntu docker main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list"
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y lxc-docker

After the shell is up, we can finally provision it with some Lua dev tools.

sudo apt-get install -y lua5.1 lua-filesystem
