Vagrant support for developers

Bifrost vagrant file for developers can be found in the tools/vagrant_dev_env directory. Running vagrant up from within this folder will bring up an Ubuntu Trusty box with Bifrost installed.

By default, the VM will have three interfaces:

  • eth0 - connected to a NAT network
  • eth1 - connected to Host-only network named: vboxnet1
  • eth2 - bridged - adapter must be set in Vagrantfile

Walkthrough done on OS X

Setup vagrant by:

  • Installing git
  • Installing virtualbox
  • Installing vagrant
  • Installing ansible

Configure Vagrant with the correct box:

vagrant box add ubuntu/trusty64

Clone bifrost repo:

git clone https://github.com/openstack/bifrost.git

Change into the bifrost directory:

cd bifrost/tools/vagrant_dev_env

Edit the Vagrantfile:

  • Change the bifrost.vm.network public_network value to a valid network interface to allow Bare Metal connectivity
  • Change public_key to correct key name
  • Change network_interface to match your needs

Boot the VM with:

vagrant up

Installation Options

Ansible is installed within the VM directly from source or from the path set by ANSIBLE_GIT_URL. You can modify the path of installation by setting ANSIBLE_INSTALL_ROOT environment variable. The default value is /opt/stack. When set in the host, this variable will also be set as an environment variable inside the VM for use by test scripts.

Note:

Only the ansible installation path is configurable at this point using the environment variable. All other dependencies will still continue to cloned under /opt/stack.
