Build your own virtual machine for MOS development using Vagrant.

Done with:

• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit
• Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 4.1.12_Ubuntu
• Vagrant 1.4.3 (downloaded the .deb from http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html and installed with GDebi as the version provided by Ubuntu won't work)

Checkout MOS from github

$ git clone https://github.com/Metalab/mos.git

cd into the project directory

$ cd mos

Call vagrant to build and setup your VM

$ vagrant up

You should see something like

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
[default] Box 'debian-7.4.0-amd64_virtualbox.box' was not found. Fetching box from specified URL for
the provider 'virtualbox'. Note that if the URL does not have
a box for this provider, you should interrupt Vagrant now and add
the box yourself. Otherwise Vagrant will attempt to download the
full box prior to discovering this error.

[default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of
VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can
prevent things such as shared folders from working properly. If you see
shared folder errors, please make sure the guest additions within the
virtual machine match the version of VirtualBox you have installed on
your host and reload your VM.

Step 5: Login into your VM

$ vagrant ssh

You should see something like:

Linux debian-7 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64

The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

permitted by applicable law.
Last login: Fri Feb 21 20:41:55 2014 from 10.0.2.2
vagrant@debian-7:/mos$ 

Step 6: Set initial admin PW for your MOS (do this IN the ssh session you openend before in step 5)

user "admin" is already created by the vagrant script.

vagrant@debian-7:/mos$ ./manage.py changepassword admin

You will be asked twice for the new password

This user can be used to login into the MOS through the web frontend

Step 7: Run the MOS inside your VM

vagrant@debian-7:/mos$ ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

You should see something like:

Validating models...

0 errors found

Django version 1.5.5, using settings 'mos.settings.devel'
Development server is running at http://0.0.0.0:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Step 8: Open a browser on your host machine and connect to http://localhost:8000/

Step 9: Login into MOS with a click on "Login" and provide the credentials used in step 6

Step 10: Profit!

Hint: After login into your VM you will be in the directory from your host where you checked out the project. You can edit files on your host and the changes will be visible inside your VM.

If you are done with hacking stop the VM from your host with

$ vagrant halt

or suspend it

$ vagrant suspend

To start it again just enter:

$ vagrant up

You will see something like:

[default] VM already provisioned. Run `vagrant provision` or use `--provision` to force it

No worries, the last line is not an error :)

btw, don't forget to login into it and start MOS again
