1328874 - Add Vagrantfile for production-like development VMs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Developer Box, defect)

Description

[Dylan Hardison [:dylan] (he/him)]

Over the holidays I created a vagrant setup that is remarkably complete. This bug is a post-hoc reflection of that work. :)

Want to get this landed, it's difficult to try out other patches against my fork. I don't think it touches any production code.

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be
visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.

Also you need to switch it and do the Ansible provisioning inside of the VM. This is due to Ansible not working properly on Windows. Windows does not support being an ansible control system. Took me a while of trying get it installed on my Windows box before coming to that conclusion :) Also switching around would remove the need to install Ansible on OSX. Once I installed a more recent version of Vagrant and then brew installed Ansible, I got up to the above error on OSX.

There were a lot of problems with ansible_local owing to the fact we're running on centos 6. I'd rather switch to that after our infra has switched to centos 7. I have commited the missing dovecot.j2 file.

For anyone else wanting to use Parallels (needs Business or Pro version) on OSX instead of VirtualBox:

1. $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-parallels
2. Apply the following changes to the Vagrantfile:

r- for the non-fatal errors and they are confusing to the new-comer. Bonus points for figuring out how to make Parallels work with the same Vagrantfile (not required really).

Those errors are intentional, that's how you do conditionals. It looks like I might be able to use failed_when: false
to clean up the output though.

Yeah, supporing Windows would be helpful... Although I can use macOS, I would pretty much prefer using my new Windows machine as it's much more powerful than my old MBP.

I accounted for the different box images that dkl brought up, and sebastin brought up an issue where on virtualbox the auto-guess-non-conflicting-port-number didn't work. Asking sebastin for final review? as this doesn't impact production code (and has been being used at great inconvenience by him)
