AEM Design - VM Kickstarter

This folder contains all of the VM Kickstarter scripts that will be used form creating VM.

BuildLocal Dev Process Overview

1. Setup Variables
2. Verify VM Appliance
   • Verify Appliance has been built successfully [if OVF does not exists] then delete build folder
3. Check Configurations
   • Check if dependencies are installed
   • init and get repos
   • secure ssh keys
4. Update VirtualBox Settings and Network Adapters
   • Check if hostonlyif exists and create if not
   • update VM networks
   • update extra params
5. Build VM Appliance
   • build vm using packer
6. Configure VM
   • import VM Appliance
   • update VM network config
   • update VM config
   • udpate VM lan
7. Start VM
   • start and wait
8. Local Dev Setup
   • test VM is configured
   • run LocalDev playbook
   • update VM lan
   • verify VM lan has been updated
   • optional build docker containers

Getting Started

1. clone repo
2. run dependencies install

mvn clean install -Pdependencies

2.1 generate ssh keys

mvn clean install -Pgeneratekeys

3.1 Run build of VMware

mvn verify -PverifyTemplate -PcreateVM -Dpacker.var-file=settings/variables-online-dev1.json -Dpacker.template=template-rhel-build.json 

3.2 Run build of Virtual Box

offline:

mvn verify -PverifyTemplate -PcreateVM -Dpacker.var-file=settings/variables-offline.json -Dpacker.template=template-centos-atomic-virtualbox.json

online:

mvn verify -PverifyTemplate -PcreateVM -Dpacker.var-file=settings/variables-online-dev1.json -Dpacker.template=template-rhel-build-virtualbox.json > log/rhel-build-dev1-`date +%Y-%m-%d.%H:%M:%S`.log &

4.1 Run build of OVA from VMX

mvn verify -PcreateOVA -Dvm.ovftool="/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/VMware OVF Tool/ovftool" -Dvm.vmx="./builds/aemdesign_2017-01-07_13-52-05/aemdesign.vmx"

4.2 Run build of OVA from Virtual Box

mvn verify -PcreateVboxOVA -Dvmbox.path="./builds/aemdesign/" -Dvmbox.name="aemdesign" > log/ova-build-dev1-`date +%Y-%m-%d.%H:%M:%S`.log &

5.1 Run verify of VM Template VMWARE

mvn verify -PverifyTemplate -Dpacker.var-file=settings/variables-online-dev1.json -Dpacker.template=template-rhel-build.json 

5.2 Run verify of VM Template Virtual Box

mvn verify -PverifyTemplate -Dpacker.var-file=settings/variables-online-localdev.json -Dpacker.template=template-rhel-build-virtualbox.json

"headless": false,

Prerequisites

• Install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM)

echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --force --filter �extra-intel-Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

• Reboot.

To verify that Intel HAXM is running, open a terminal window and execute the following command:

kextstat | grep intel

To stop or start Intel HAXM, use the following commands:

Stop:

sudo kextunload –b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm

Start:

sudo kextload –b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm

To uninstall Intel HAXM, open a terminal window and execute this command:

sudo /System/Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh

Errors

When you get errors check here

Error: Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.

Folders & Files

• keys - private keys
• builds - final output of build process
• http - config folder that is used by Packer to into a webserver to be used during build
• scripts - post installation scripts to be ran on the vms
• settings - additional setting for diffrent modes
• template-rhel.json - Packer template for RHEL build

Hot to generate new SHA1 hash of a file

When you change ISO files you need to specify the checksum to generate a new one run this command

openssl sha1 path/to/file

Kickstarter File

create encrypted password for kickstarter file

# md5
openssl passwd -1 "password here"

or

# sha512
echo "password here" | openssl dgst -sha512

Monitor Headless VM Creation

Default VRDP port is 5901, while build is running you can watch the process by use any RDP tool, ex CoRD, by connecting to 127.0.0.1:5901.

OR

Video record for creation is enabled and files are stored in build/sessions directory, you can watch the .webm file for your headless installation process
