This is an example of using Vagrant, Docker and Jenkins to build isolated and repeatable development environments for JHipster application.

Before we get started download and install these required tools:

Requirement

Geting started

After installing Vagrant it will be automatically added to the Path, if its not try to restart your computer.

to verify installation: open windows cmd prompt and type “vagrant -v”

create your own workspace folder:

and clone the project from github

mkdir vagrant
cd vagrant
git clone https://github.com/imad-bouhamidi/vagrant-docker-jenkins-jhipster
cd vagrant-docker-jenkins-jhipster
vagrant up

Wait, wait and wait until the installation is complete :p
