omnibus-gem-vagrant-example

An example of how to use Omnibus with Vagrant (via Test Kitchen) to package a custom gem.

Usage

Install the dependencies:

$ bundle install --binstubs

Use test-kitchen to converge the CentOS 6.5 VM:

$ bin/kitchen converge [default-centos-65]

N.B. [default-centos-65] is optional because it is the only VM defined in .kitchen.yml

This provides an Omnibus build environment (it may take a while - about 8m on a MacBook Air).

When that finishes, login to the VM.

$ bin/kitchen login [default-centos-65]

You should be in the home (/home/vagrant) directory

$ pwd
/home/vagrant

$ ls
load-omnibus-toolchain.sh  scout  sign-rpm

Navigate to the scout directory

$ cd scout

Install the dependencies on the VM (again, this takes a while):

$ bundle install --binstubs

Now let's build our Omnibus package (yep this takes a while too):

$ bin/omnibus build scout

Once that's finished, two things should have happened:

• an RPM now exists in your project /pkg directory (symlinked to the VM at /home/vagrant/scout/pkg)
• the RPM has been installed automatically to /opt/scout
