bosh upload-release https://github.com/pivotal-cf-experimental/dummy-boshrelease/releases/download/v2/dummy-2.tgz

• Update the BOSH director's cloud-config
  • create a network named manual
  • create a vm_types named tiny

  vim cloud-config.yml # add 'manual' network and 'tiny' vm_type
  bosh update-cloud-config cloud-config.yml

curl -OL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pivotal-cf-experimental/dummy-boshrelease/master/templates/dummy.yml
bosh deploy -d dummy dummy.yml

1. BOSH Jobs

Dummy BOSH release has the following jobs:

1. dummy has no packages and only 1 job that monitors pid 1.

2. dummy_with_package also has 1 job but depends on 1 package.

3. dummy_with_properties has no packages and only 1 job that monitors 1 pid, however it has a property that can be altered to allow you to iterate rapidly on bosh deploys.

4. dummy_fail_eventually has no packages and only 1 job that monitors a process that exits after 5 seconds.

5. dummy_fail_immediate has no packages and only 1 job that does not record a PID and exits immediately.

6. dummy_errand has no packages and echo to stdout

Use dummy-boshrelease to create a deployment manifest more easily, especially handy if it's your first time creating a deployment manifest.

Its simplicity also makes it a good way to learn the shape of a BOSH release.

TIP: Use it with bosh-lite to make setting up your first BOSH deployment even easier!
