[Koha-devel] Trouble in setting up kohadevbox on Win10 prof

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Hey Indranil,

 

I’m not sure if kohadevbox is getting much love and attention, especially on Windows, anymore. 

 

Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong but I think many people are moving / have moved to koha-testing-docker: https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-testing-docker. 

 

The documentation could use a bit of work but you can update the KOHA_IMAGE variable to pick different images available from https://hub.docker.com/r/koha/koha-testing/tags (I actually just noticed that this moment). My guess is “master” is for stretch since there are master-jessie and master-buster available as well. 

 

Personally, I use Docker Desktop on Windows, and I find mounting a volume with my Git can be painful, so I actually just created a named volume (within the Docker Desktop VM) and keep my Git clone there. That way it’s just all Linux all the time. 

 

Alas, I deleted my last kohadevbox recently, so can’t help you on that one, I’m afraid.

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to setup kohadevbox on a Windows 10 prof laptop. I'm going after stretch64 

 

Things I've done so far:

1. I had to switch the distribution to https://app.vagrantup.com/digital-port/boxes/debian-stretch64 because otherwise I was hitting the missing linux-headers for vbox guest additions.

 

2. Ran SMB=1 SKIP_WEBINSTALLER=1 CREATE_ADMIN_USER=1 LOCAL_ANSIBLE=1 SYNC_REPO="/home/vagrant/kohaclone" vagrant up

 

3. I've the VM created, can ssh into it both as `vagrant ssh` as well as via putty

 

4. But no cheese when i try to access http://localhost:8081 either inside the VM or from my host box

 

5. the .deb installation did go through, because there is /usr/share/koha and the koha-* commands are accessible e.g. koha-list. koha-passwd so package got installed.

 

6. /home/vagrant/kohaclone is empty and that I guess is the root of my problems because the installation has gotten gitified and there is nothing there at the moment.

 

7. I'm now manually doing a `git clone http://git.koha-community.org/koha.git kohaclone` in /home/vagrant to see if that makes a difference.

 

My question: kohadevbox README.md says - "A clone of the official Koha Git repo, or a NFS-mounted git repository from your host machine." 

 

So what am I missing here? Cluesticks / brickbats welcome... and expected :-)

thanks
