ubergarm / ipc_playground

My favorite vagrant virtualbox setup to start playing with basic zmq 0mq zeromq IPC stuff.

ipc_playground

A vagrant virtualbox to test out various IPCs including 0mq

Output:

Basic Ping/Pong demo with zmq_send() and zmq_recv()

Try it out!

Bring up the virtualmachine and provision the server

$ vagrant up  # can take a while depending on your network speed
$ vagrant ssh
$ cd /vagrant/apps
$ make
$ killall zmq_server
$ ./bin/zmq_server &
$ ./bin/zmq_client

Cleaning up

$ vagrant destroy

To manually clean up stray VMs

$ VBoxManage list vms
$ VBoxManage unregistervm ipc_playground –delete

####Requires:

• Vagrant -- sudo apt-get install vagrant 1.2.2
• VirtualBox -- sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.2

####Built On:

• ansible -- provisioner loaded up first
• zeromq -- light weight but heavy hitting messaging queues

####TODO:

• Base vargrant virtualbox install
• Install build tools
• Install zeromq
• Build test programs
• Print out stats
• Improve test program makefile/library
• Add more demos including pub/sub stuff
• Add some scripts to run the test suite and print results

####Issues:

• Find how to extend a standard earth day to 26+ hours long.

####Notes:

• bootstrap.sh does a one-time install of ansible to get the ball rolling

####My workflow:

• git config --global user.name 'Your Name'
• git config --global user.email your@email
• git pull
• edit some code
• git add
• git commit -am 'fixed some bugs'
• git push -u origin master

####Thanks to:

• zeromq
