Vagrant

Kayobe provides a Vagrantfile that can be used to bring up a virtual machine for use as a development environment. The VM is based on the centos/8 CentOS 8 image, and supports the following providers:

• VirtualBox
• VMWare Fusion

The VM is configured with 4GB RAM and a 20GB HDD. It has a single private network in addition to the standard Vagrant NAT network.

Preparation

First, ensure that Vagrant is installed and correctly configured to use the required provider. Also install the following vagrant plugins:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-reload vagrant-disksize

If using the VirtualBox provider, install the following vagrant plugin:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

Note: if using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, you may be unable to install any plugins. To work around this install the upstream version from www.virtualbox.org.

Usage

Later sections in the development guide cover in more detail how to use the development VM in different configurations. These steps cover bringing up and accessing the VM.

Clone the kayobe repository:

git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/kayobe.git

Change the current directory to the kayobe repository:

cd kayobe

Inspect kayobe's Vagrantfile, noting the provisioning steps:
