The goal of the repository is to spin up Ubuntu (18.04) server with Docker and Docker-compose for web application development, locally and in the cloud (AWS) using Packer and Vagrant with minimal effort.
Packer is an open source tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. Vagrant is a tool for building and managing virtual machine environments in a single workflow. With an easy-to-use workflow and focus on automation, Vagrant lowers development environment setup time, increases production parity, and makes the "works on my machine" excuse a relic of the past.
- Install VirtualBox
- Install Vagrant
- Install Packer
- RUN
https://github.com/kmvinoth/ubuntu-18.04-ami-setup-packer.git
- Run
cd packer-templates
- Run
packer build -only=virtualbox-iso ubuntu-18.04-server.json
This will take sometime because .iso file has to be fetched from the internet. If you already have the iso file locally specify the location of the iso file in the iso_urls array in ubuntu-18.04-server.json
Once, packer finished building the artifacts, you will find the .box file in vagrant_vm directory
- Run
cd vagrant_vm
- Run
vagrant box add ubuntu-18.04.4-server-amd64.box --name dev-server
- Run
vagrant up
- Run
vagrant ssh
to connect to the server - Run
docker version
to check docker installation - Run
docker-compose --version
to check docker-compose installation
