# Virtualbox Cluster
A 3-Node Virtualbox cluster for quickly testing out distributed apps etc.
## Prerequisites
- [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/)
- [Ansible](http://www.ansible.com/)
- [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
### Installing the requirements in Ubuntu (tested with 14.04)
1. Install Virtualbox:
```bash
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
```
2. Install a recent version of ansible:
```bash
sudo apt-get install ansible/trusty-backports
```
*(if you ubuntu version is "trusty", otherwise, replace it with your appropriate version)*
3. Install Vagrant, by first downloadng the proper .deb file from [vagrantup.com](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)
4. ... and then installing it with:
```bash
sudo dpkg -i
```
## Setup and Usage
#### Clone the github repository:
```bash
git clone [email protected]:samuell/virtualbox-cluster.git
cd virtualbox-cluster
```
#### Optional: Add/Enable roles
If you want install some roles, create a folder structure for a new role under `roles/` (at least a `roles/tasks/main.yml`
file), and activate it by listing it under `roles:` in playbook.yml. An example, "scala" role is included for illustration.
To activate that, uncomment that role under `roles:`, by, changing from:
```yaml
roles:
#- scala
```
to:
```yaml
roles:
- scala
```
#### Bring up the three boxes:
```bash
vagrant up
```
#### Log in to any of the three nodes (master, slave1 or slave2):
```bash
vagrant ssh (master|slave1|slave2)
```
Log in to nodes, from nodes:
```bash
ssh (master|slave1|slave2)
```
