Kinvolk Training Vagrant Box

Before the training

Install Vagrant

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/

Clone this repository

Example:

$ git clone https://github.com/kinvolk/kinvolk-training-vagrant-box

Run machine for the first time

$ cd kinvolk-training-vagrant-box/

Start the VM:

$ vagrant up
    [...]
    default: Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-0ubuntu3) ...
    default: Processing triggers for systemd (237-3ubuntu7) ...
    default: Setup finished successfully!

Verify the VM is running and the shared directory mounted:

$ vagrant ssh -- bash -c 'mount | grep vboxsf'
vagrant on /vagrant type vboxsf (rw,nodev,relatime)

Stop the VM:

$ vagrant halt

That's it!

Troubleshooting

HTTP proxy

If you are behind a HTTP proxy, you might need to set the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables (e.g. set https_proxy=https://your_proxy:your_port) before executing the CLI commands (git clone etc).

vagrant up error

In case vagrant up returns an error for the first run due to a confirmation dialog from VirtualBox, you can try again with vagrant destroy -f followed by vagrant up. If that does not finish successfully either, I will try to help with the setup during the workshop.
