# Vagrant setup for OSX
Vagrant environment for testing and experiments inside OSX running via VMWare.
## Prerequisites
1. Download a [fresh copy of OSX installer from AppStore](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/os-x-yosemite/id915041082?mt=12).
2. Create a Vagrant OSX box via [`timsutton/osx-vm-templates`](https://github.com/timsutton/osx-vm-templates)
- Use `--only=vmware-iso` to only use VMWare builder
- Increase the disk size (default is `20480` MB) as installing large packages from Homebrew and elsewhere may take up 20GB pretty quickly
- Remove Parallels and Chef scripts as we won't need these
3. Place the result box in the root of this repo as `mac-osx-10-10-vmware.box`
4. Install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) (which implies having _XCode CLI Tools_ installed)
5. Install [Brewcask](http://caskroom.io/) `brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask`
6. Install other tools: `brew install --cask vagrant vmware-fusion`
7. Install [Vagrant VMWare plugin](https://www.vagrantup.com/vmware): `vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-fusion` and add license `vagrant plugin license vagrant-vmware-fusion license.lic`
## Caveats
### Boxen & synced folders
Boxen uses file-locking to ensure it's only running once.
This doesn't work with the [default VMWare file-sync mechanism](https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/synced-folders/basic_usage.html).
This is why we use NFS, but that has a different caveat - each time you run `vagrant [up|reload]`,
Vagrant will try to modify `/etc/exports` on your host machine, which will by default require your sudo password.
A workaround could be allowing write for all admins on that system & restarting nfsd without password:
```
# This is due to pesky sed - see https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/5259
sudo chown root:admin /etc
sudo chmod g+w /etc
sudo chown root:admin /etc/exports
sudo chmod g+w /etc/exports
echo "%admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/nfsd" >> /etc/sudoers
```
while [having Vagrant `1.7.0+`](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/commit/aa981cf4ec1492e33fef8dde1eb2d58b202285e6) installed.
## Testing environments
### Just pure OSX
Just a pure OSX with no extra mountpoints/provisioners, works out of the box.
```sh
vagrant up base
```
### Boxen
Expects `./our-boxen` directory in the root, Vagrant will mount it & install accordingly.
Available ENV variables:
- `GH_TOKEN` - Github token for Boxen
- `UNLOCK_BOXEN` (empty or 1) - whether to unlock boxen (sometimes necessary when you kill the instance in mid-flight)
- `NO_PULL` (empty or 1) - whether to pull down latest version of mounted `our-boxen` or not
```sh
vagrant up boxen
```
### Dotfiles
_TODO_
### Homebrew (Cask)
This will install latest Homebrew + Brewcask, turn Brewcask into DEV mode and mount any directories named as `homebrew-*` as taps into the VM.
```sh
vagrant up brew
```
#### Usage
```sh
vagrant ssh brew
brew install vagrant/homebrew-mytap/package-name
```
