Ignition Vagrant Development Environment

This repository utilizes Vagrant to fully setup and provision an isolated Ignition development system to get up and running quickly!

Prerequisites

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant

Getting Started

We're using Vagrant to handle the deployment of the environment. Make sure that you have Vagrant installed by getting a download here:

https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

You also need to have VirtualBox installed as the VM provider. Get VirtualBox here:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Windows

First, download the repository to your computer (if you have git installed, you can clone as well):

Optional: If you don't have a git client and want to be able to work with it, install Git for Windows and get not only git but also ssh (and more): Git for Windows

Unpack the downloaded zip file, open a command prompt to the resulting location, and run vagrant up:

Linux / macOS

First, open a terminal and clone this repository to your computer:

git clone https://github.com/thirdgen88/ignition-vagrant.git

If you don't have git installed, you may get some additional output during this step. macOS will typically prompt you to install the Xcode developer tools—once completed, you may need to re-run the git command above.

Next, start the environment:

cd ignition-vagrant
vagrant up

All

Following the platform-specific steps above will create and provision an Ubuntu 18.04 development environment with MySQL and Ignition preinstalled. Next, simply launch a web browser against the forwarded port on your local computer:

http://localhost:8088

If you see an Ignition Gateway Webpage, you're ready to go:

Shutting down the environment

In order to shutdown the environment, run the following command in the ignition-vagrant folder:

vagrant halt

This will shutdown the virtual machine and release the network port configuration that was setup on launch.
