Vagrant

See the vagrant/ directory for Archipel-in-a-box configuration allowing you to develop on ArchipelAgent on your laptop.

Here is how to create a development environment in a jiffy:

Using libvirt as provider

1. Download Vagrant 1.7
2. Download the vagrant-libvirt plugin : vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt

3. Check out submodules:

cd /path/to/puppet-archipel
git submodule init
git submodule update --remote --recursive

cd /path/to/puppet-archipel/vagrant/archipel/Archipel
./pull.sh

4. Switch off the firewalld if under Redhat/Centos 7 or Fedora Linux environment for vagrant shared folder to be mounted:

sudo systemctl stop firewalld

5. cd /path/to/puppet-archipel/vagrant/archipel
6. Bring up the environment with vagrant --agent-count=3 up, this will bring a 3 nodes environment
7. Your Archipel hacking environment will be ready in minutes and will prompt a ready to use URL as the first line of the vagrant command above like:

http://192.168.122.2/Archipel/?user=admin%40central-server.archipel.priv&password=admin&service=ws://192.168.122.2:5280/xmpp

Archipel source code is located in vagrant/archipel/Archipel. All modifications to the Archipel Agent code will be applied to all VMs. Except for the UI as it use a precompiled release from nightlies.

Have fun!
