Rails Vagrant box
Recently, I had a pleasure to work with @kinnaj.
He is a designer and uses Photoshop on Windows.
We were going to work on a Rails project together.
You noticed it right. Windows + Rails = :sweat:
Among all the solutions I thought (including cloud IDE) vagrant was the smoothest.
Building a suitable box is not a problem, but I wanted it to be automated and available inside of our repo.
- So, I forked rails/rails-dev-box repo;
- Removed MySQL 8fe6b0e;
- Made
postgres
user trusted cb1384b; - Updated ruby version to
2.1.2
4b32caf; - Added aliismayilov/rails-dev-box as a submodule to our Rails project.
Here is the modified part of Vagrantfile from the project:
# ...
# Use 1GB RAM instead of default < 512MB.
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "1024"]
end
# specify puppet manifest and module files location
config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
puppet.manifests_path = 'rails-dev-box/puppet/manifests'
puppet.module_path = 'rails-dev-box/puppet/modules'
end
# ...
Now my collegue had to install VirtualBox and Vagrant.
Run the following commands to be inside of a working vagrant box with Rails+PostgresSQL+Memcached.
> vagrant up
> vagrant ssh
$ cd /vagrant
