Development Machine Setup

This repository contains a set of shell scripts that can be used on a Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) machine to install and configure various development tools and toolchains.

Usage

These scripts are intended to be used from a Live CD, Live USB Thumbdrive or Flash Card. When booting a machine from a Live CD, USB, or Flash drive, the operating system runs from a RAM Drive. Therefore, all changes are forgotten / lost after shutdown or restart.

Create a Custom Live Boot Drive

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu Install CD, USB, or Flash Drive (in order to run Cubic)
• Cubic
• Blank Writable CD (optional)
• USB Thumbdrive or Flash Card (32G or larger)
• Ubuntu Desktop or Server Installation Image (ISO format)
• CD Burning Software (if using CD for Boot)
• RUFUS (building via Windows) or Startup Disk Creator (building via Ubuntu)
• Disk Partition Software (if NOT using CD for Boot)

Steps

• Boot a machine into Ubuntu (Installed to Hard Drive or Via Live CD, USB, or Flash Drive)
• Copy or Download Ubuntu Installation ISO Image
• Install and Run Cubic

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cubic-wizard/release
sudo apt -y install cubic
cubic

• Select the Installation ISO from the previous step
• Once Cubic presents the chroot console:
  1. Install git

sudo apt -y install git

2. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/calledtoconstruct/devbuntu
chmod +x ./devbuntu/*.sh

3. Execute

./devbuntu/dev-iso.sh

• Complete the Cubic Process which will produce a new ISO Image
• Burn the Custom Installation ISO Image to CD, USB Drive or Flash Drive
• Repartition the Install Partition to 6G (USB Drive or Flash Drive only)
• Create "DATA" Partition in Remaining Space (USB Drive or Flash Drive only)
• Reboot into Custom Live Session using BIOS Boot Device Selection

Development Environment

Prerequisites

• Custom Live CD, USB Thumbdrive or Flash Card that Boots to a Live Session (See above)
• USB Thumbdrive or Flash Card with 26G or more Free Space
• Machine with 8G of RAM or more, CD Drive, USB Port and/or Flash Drive
• Internet Connection

Steps

• Boot Machine into Live Session using Live CD, USB Thumbdrive or Flash Card
• Connect to WIFI or Wired Connection with Internet Access
• Install GIT

sudo apt -y install git

• Clone this Repository, Enable Execute of Scripts

git clone https://github.com/calledtoconstruct/devbuntu
chmod +x ./devbuntu/*.sh

• Execute the Setup Script

./devbuntu/setup.sh

• Change the current working folder to the new $HOME (visually, you won't see a change)

cd /home/ubuntu

• Launch VS Code and Build Something Awesome

code

Kubernetes Cluster

Prerequisites

• Working Development Environment (see above)
• "DATA" Partition on USB Thumbdrive or Flash Card with at least 26G of Free Space

Steps

• Start Kubernetes Cluster via MiniKube

minikube start

• Setup Aliases for Docker (so Docker connects to the repository within the minikube cluster)

alias dockerenv="eval \$(sudo minikube docker-env)"
alias dockerdo="sudo docker --host=\"\$DOCKER_HOST\" --tlsverify=1 --tlscacert=\"\$DOCKER_CERT_PATH/ca.pem\" --tlscert=\"\$DOCKER_CERT_PATH/cert.pem\" --tlskey=\"\$DOCKER_CERT_PATH/key.pem\""
dockerenv

• (From within a project with a Dockerfile) Run Docker Build

dockerdo build .

• Verify your Docker images built correctly

dockerdo images

• Deploy Your Awesome Application Containers

Documentation Road-map

Service Mesh

• Document how to deploy LinkerD into the cluster
• Document how to inject LinkerD into the containers
• Other service mesh offerings?

Cleaning Up

• Document clean-up process
