Being playing Vagrant for a few days. I wanted to setup 2 Linux DEV environments: a Java/Clojure and a Haskell, and wanted them to be portable.
With my Windows 10 PC of i7 and 9G RAM, I installed Vagrant and VirtualBox first, then following instructions, I was able to created my first Vagrant box with:
- Ubuntu 14.04 desktop
- JDK 8
- Eclipse
- Maven
- Leiningen
- Docker
I packaged the box and saved in a USB drive. After getting to office, I copied the box file to my office PC then “vagrant up”, it works, painless portability!
The next thing is some hands on with Docker while the Vagrant box is ready and up.
