Add simple Vagrant setup #34

Closed ahayworth closed 6 years ago

ahayworth commented 6 years ago

It's useful to be able to get a VM with dependencies built and installed, and also to play around with the service.

The worst part of all of this is that things like bin/litmus and bin/litmusctl expect the litmus gem to be installed (and hence we build/install it in the vm). Future work should make this run from the checkout w/o actually installing the gem.

@ssgelm Some feedback addressed. Honestly, downloading the stretch VM keeps timing out for me. Maybe we should run it on ubuntu? Thoughts?

@ahayworth perhaps vagrant's mirrors were having issues, I tried https://app.vagrantup.com/debian/boxes/contrib-stretch64 this morning and it pulled down without issue.

Any reason not to do this in Docker, instead of Vagrant?

ahayworth commented 6 years ago

@zdzolton The one nice thing that Vagrant gives you over Docker for development is the relative ease of setup - you just run vagrant up && vagrant ssh and you're done. Docker is a bit more irritating: you have to build, then exec, make sure you map volumes and ports, etc.

That said, I know I'm permanently stuck in yesteryear's technologies. I updated the commit to use a Dockerfile instead of a Vagrantfile - because I think it's probably a better choice.

@lollipopman @ssgelm I rebuilt this in Docker and used Stretch.

Coordinating with @ahayworth I've pushed some changes to address @ssgelm's feedback, and also add instructions for running the agent checks in a container. If this looks good I think it's ready to merge.
