#Vagrant Boxes

A series of portable VM instances that can be fired up on the host (Windows) machine that I am invariably required to use.

##Requires

All boxes require the following on the host machine:

• Oracle Virtual Box
• Vagrant
• Git (or copy files direct)

##Usage:

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/jonbartlett/portable-dev-box

If behind a corporate firewall that requires the use of a proxy and using Windows, set the following environment variables:

HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com.au:8080
HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy.company.com.au:8080
VAGRANT_HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com.au:8080
VAGRANT_HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy.company.com.au:8080
VAGRANT_NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,.company.com.au

all steps that follow should take place within the same directory as the Vagrant file for the machine you want to use.

Add proxy support in Vagrant:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-proxyconf

Import Ubuntu box

vagrant box add ubuntu/trusty64

Bring up and provision instance

vagrant up

Connect into VM. Only works if using a command interpreter with a built in SSH client (Git Bash, etc.). Alternatively SSH using favourite client (creds vagrant/vagrant)

vagrant ssh

or

ssh -p 2222 vagrant@127.0.0.1
