Creates virtualbox and vmware boxes for Elixir and Phoenix development based on Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty).
Based on Jeff Geerling's packer-ubuntu-1404.
Current Ubuntu Version Used: 14.04.4
All the software required for Phoenix development.
- Erlang 19.0
- Elixir 1.3.4
- Hex (latest)
- Rebar (latest)
- Phoenix (latest)
- PostgreSQL 9.4 (user: postgres, password: postgres)
- Node.js 5.x
Generates two Vagrant box files, for:
- VirtualBox
- VMware
The example can be modified to use more Ansible roles, plays, and included playbooks to fully configure (or partially) configure a box file suitable for deployment for development environments.
The following software must be installed/present on your local machine before you can use Packer to build the Vagrant box file:
- Packer
- Vagrant
- Ansible
- VirtualBox (if you want to build the VirtualBox box)
- VMware Fusion (or Workstation - if you want to build the VMware box)
Make sure all the required software (listed above) is installed, then cd to the directory containing this README.md file, and run:
$ packer build elixir-phoenix-ubuntu-trusty64.json
After a few minutes, Packer should tell you the box was generated successfully.
If you want to only build a box for one of the supported virtualization platforms (e.g. only build the VMware box), add --only=vmware-iso
to the packer build
command:
$ packer build --only=virtualbox-iso elixir-phoenix-ubuntu-trusty64.json
$ packer build --only=vmware-iso elixir-phoenix-ubuntu-trusty64.json
