deploy

A set of Ansible scripts to create a CentOS 7 Linux VM with technical components

Installation

Option A: create a new VM for Windows

• Install Virtualbox
• Install Vagrant
• Install Kitty, a nice fork of putty
• If you have a Proxy: install Vagrant Proxy plugin with command vagrant plugin install vagrant-proxyconf and define Windows environment variables VAGRANT_HTTP_PROXY, VAGRANT_HTTPS_PROXY and VAGRANT_NO_PROXY
• Optionnaly define Windows environment variable CENTOS_MIRROR to your prefered CentOS mirror (fqdn)
• Download Vagrantfile from the repo and save it to a work directory
• Adapt the parameters in the header ot the file
• Optionnaly create SSH keys for Putty using Puttygen and save the public key as key.pub in the work directory
• Open a CMD prompt, go to the work directory, run vagrant up and wait for VM creation process to complete. If the process stops at Running: inline script it's likely due to an internet connection issue.
• Optionnaly install VirtualBox guest additions with vagrant vbguest
• Connect with kitty to 192.168.56.2 (or whatever IP you specified in the file) with your Windows's username and either the private key file or the defaut password in Vagrantfile. This UNIX user has sudo access.
