Prerequisites

1. VirtualBox (tested with 5.x)
2. Vagrant (tested with 1.7.4)

Box

The CentOS 7.2 box is created using packer: https://github.com/cristiroma/centos-7-minimal

vagrant box add centos/7 --provider virtualbox

• Install vagrant and plugins vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier

• Start the virtual machine: vagrant up

• Connect to local box using ssh: vagrant ssh or ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key -p 2222 vagrant@localhost

Local settings (on host machine)

• If the host machine runs windows, set git config --global core.autocrlf false unless you know how autcrlf works. Alternatively, after checkout, run dos2unix for all script and configuration files that will be copied or executed inside the virtual machine (etc/*, bootstrap.sh, post-mount.sh).

• Edit the hosts file and add 172.28.128.3 semantic.digital-agenda-data.eu digital-agenda-data.eu virtuoso.digital-agenda-data.eu test.digital-agenda-data.eu test-cr.digital-agenda-data.eu test-virtuoso.digital-agenda-data.eu (where 172.28.128.3 is the IP of the virtual machine)

Data files

Some binary content is downloaded from the main DAD server (85.9.22.69):

• plone-storage.tar.gz contains the default Plone settings and content (datasets, documentation, files etc.). The default login is admin/password.
• plone-storage-test.tar.gz same as above, but for test environment (test.digital-agenda-data.eu)

Troubleshooting

• Plone does not start. Can be caused by pypy errors during buildout, e.g. Can't download https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/Products.SimpleAttachment/Products.SimpleAttachment-4.4.tar.gz#md5=b067144b5a526b8314e8b5a52e27483e: 500 Internal Server Error

Solution => Restart buildout cd /var/local/plone sudo su scoreboard bin/buildout

• /vagrant is not mounted. Can be caused by VirtualBox guest additions. Try setting config.vbguest.auto_update to true in Vagrant file or alternatively, run vagrant vbguest command.

• yum update takes a very long time. Sometimes this can be caused by unavailable local mirrors. Eventually it works (after 20-30 minutes), or you can kill the process and retry.

TODO

• Don't disable selinux
• Install fonts
