Vagrant vagrant-based development environment with Ansible ansible playbooks to install common tools, including:

• The JVM ecosystem
• Ruby
• Postgres

Works fine on Linux, Mac and Windows hosts.

Used as the development environment for all [Snowplow Analytics] snowplow projects.

To use this development environment, you need to have Vagrant vagrant-install and VirtualBox virtualbox-install installed.

We also recommend installing vagrant-vbguest to prevent the VirtualBox Guest Additions from getting out of sync:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

First, clone the repo, including ansible-playbooks submodule:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/snowplow/dev-environment.git
$ cd dev-environment

By default the development environment is configured with 2 GB of RAM. You can adjust this by running the configure.sh script, e.g. for 5 GB try:

$ ./scripts/configure.sh 5

Now you can build the VM:

$ vagrant up

And SSH into it:

$ vagrant ssh

The guest VM has Ansible installed. This means you can run the different [Ansible playbooks] ansible-playbooks directly, thus:

$ ansible-playbook /vagrant/vagrant/oss-playbooks/{{PLAYBOOK_NAME}}.yml \
--inventory-file=/vagrant/vagrant/ansible.hosts --connection=local

For example, to install the development environment for working on the Snowplow batch-based enrichment process:

$ ansible-playbook /vagrant/vagrant/oss-playbooks/snowplow-batch-pipeline.yml \
--inventory-file=/vagrant/vagrant/ansible.hosts --connection=local

To simply install Java-7:

$ ansible-playbook /vagrant/vagrant/oss-playbooks/java-7.yml \
--inventory-file=/vagrant/vagrant/ansible.hosts --connection=local

A whole host of playbooks can be found in the ansible-playbooks (https://github.com/snowplow/ansible-playbooks). Playbooks in the root of the project can be run directly - these are composed of [roles] (https://github.com/snowplow/ansible-playbooks/tree/master/roles) that individually install specific components of development environments. For more information on composing your own development environments out of the individual roles, see the [ansible-playbooks README] (https://github.com/snowplow/ansible-playbooks).

We recommend removing git tracking from the dev environment before starting coding. You can do these either from the host or the guest VM:

$ rm -rf .git*

Now you can safely pull down the codebase you want to work on e.g:

$ git clone https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow.git

Please see our [Ansible playbooks] ansible-playbooks repository for the full list.
