wolkenkit-vm

wolkenkit-vm is a Packer script to setup virtual machines that run wolkenkit.

Please note that the virtual machines have been designed for evaluating wolkenkit and developing applications, and are not suited for production usage.

Installation

To setup virtual machines you first need to install Packer on your machine. Depending on which platforms you want to build virtual machines for, you must also install VMware or VirtualBox (or both).

Quick start

To build virtual machines for VMware and VirtualBox run:

$ packer build build.json

To build a virtual machine only for VMware run:

$ packer build --only=vmware-iso build.json

To build a virtual machine only for VirtualBox run:

$ packer build --only=virtualbox-iso build.json

Afterwards, use the .ovf file in the output-vmware-iso or output-virtualbox-iso directory to create a new virtual machine in VMware or VirtualBox respectively.

Configuring the build

You may need to adjust the versions of nvm, Node.js or wolkenkit. For that, provide the -var flag and set nvm_version, node_version or wolkenkit_cli_version to the desired value, e.g.:

$ packer build -var 'wolkenkit_cli_version=1.2.1' build.json

Alternatively, you may change the appropriate lines in the file build.json.

Using SSH

The virtual machine for VirtualBox automatically forwards the following ports for SSH and wolkenkit:

To connect via SSH to the virtual machine, run the following command. The default password is wolkenkit:

$ ssh wolkenkit@localhost -p 2222
