Virtual Box Cheating

See local available dist images (they are stored locally around 400mb size they have)

vagrant box list

To create a new vagrant env do this:

vagrant init

Now edit Vagrantfile

config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"

Also, under /vagrant the directory in which the Vagrantfile lies gets accessible.

Then we configure a few things in a provision.sh like installing elastic search

See Vagrantfile and provision.sh in https://github.com/elifesciences/lens-indexer

Now we are ready.

vagrant up

To reprovision use:

vagrant provision

To login as su (you are logged in as vagrant that has sudo rights):

vagrant ssh

To wipe the images:

vagrant destroy
