[Koha-devel] Kohadevbox for testing Packages+Plack

[Tomas Cohen Arazi]

Hi everyone, I hope you had a great weekend :-D

We have pushed a new branch to the kohadevbox repository. The branch is
called 'ansible' and relies on that tool (Ansible) to load a full packages
environment, suitable for testing Plack on packages. I already use it for
my RM duties, daily.

To try/use it, you need to:

(1) Install the latest vagrant:
  https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

(2) Install the latest ansible:

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_installation.html#latest-releases-via-apt-ubuntu

(3) Install nfs-kernel-server (for re-using your host machine cloned repo)
  $ sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

(4) Clone the kohadevbox repo https://github.com/digibib/kohadevbox.git

(5) Checkout the 'ansible' branch.

(6) Dive into the directory, uncomment the lines you would like to tweak in
vars/user.yml (email, name, bz configuration, etc)

(7) Set an env variable pointing to your local koha clone (for example)
  $ export SYNC_REPO=/home/katrina/kohaclone

(8) Launch kohadevbox for the desired distribution:
  $ vagrant up trusty
or
  $ vagrant up wheezy
or
  $ vagrant up jessie

Once you have your vagrant environment up and running, you will have access
to Koha like this:
- OPAC: http://localhost:8080
- Staff: http://localhost:8081

After this, you can enable Plack from within the VM by running:

 $ vagrant ssh <os> # to get into
 $ sudo -s # gain root access
 $ koha-plack --enable kohadev
 $ koha-plack --start kohadev
 $ service apache2 restart

Once you have it running and figure how easy is to destroy your environment
and re-create it, you will really love this (+10000 to Magnus!).

So, this is a pledge to all of you, to use it so we properly test Plack on
packages for the next release.

Thanks in advance!
