Note: The supplied links apply only to this local vagrant system. They could vary in other installations.

• This base box uses the current available centOS 7 packages and updates.
• to use this base box, a custom copy of islandora_vagrant should be made where the location of tomcat and the apache and tomcat users are different.

In centOS 7

1. tomcat is at /usr/share/tomcat, instead of /usr/share/tomcat7
2. the tomcat user is "tomcat" instead of tomcat7
3. the apache user is "apache", instead of www-data

You can connect to the machine via the browser at http://localhost:8000.

The default Drupal login details are:

• username: admin
• password: islandora

MySQL:

• username: root
• password: islandora

Tomcat Manager:

• username: islandora
• password: islandora

Fedora: (Fedora Admin | Fedora Risearch | Fedora Services)

• username: fedoraAdmin
• password: fedoraAdmin

GSearch:

• username: fedoraAdmin
• password: fedoraAdmin

ssh, scp, rsync:

• username: vagrant
• password: vagrant
• Examples
  • ssh -p 2222 vagrant@localhost or vagrant ssh
  • scp -P 2222 somefile.txt vagrant@localhost:/destination/path
  • rsync --rsh='ssh -p2222' -av somedir vagrant@localhost:/tmp

Procedure to save the box

1. log into the VM

• vagrant ssh
• sudo yum update

2. follow the instructions in virtualbox-guest-add-install.txt to add the guest-additions to your VM.

• run the script as sudo ./virtualbox-guest-add-install.txt

3. finish what vagrant could not, relabeling the selinux entries, (since it cannot reboot itself)

• sudo shutdown -r now

4. wait several minutes and log into the VM

• vagrant ssh
• cd $DRUPAL_HOME
• sudo drush pm-update

5. check for leftover install directories in /tmp

• remove the ones for gsearch, solr, fcrepo, fits, etc. this will make the final base box size much smaller

6. zero out the virtual drive to save space

• sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/EMPTY bs=1M
• sudo rm -f /EMPTY

7. exit out to centos7_base_box directory

• exit

8. run this from inside the base box directory, it will save a copy of the modified box. (first, edit version number!!!!)

• vagrant package --output c7vbb-0.1.x.box

9. move the box file to a local web server that the devel team and a modified islandora vagrant instance can access when it starts up.
