vagrant-ubuntu-postgresql

This repo contains the necessary files to spin up a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS VM with PostgreSQL.

This is useful for example during the development of apps that may require a DB for testing. It avoids having to install one locally, which may not always be straightforward or desirable.

Usage

Assumming you have Vagrant installed, you just need to clone this repo and run:

vagrant up --provision

After the VM has finished booting and provisioning, you can access PostgreSQL on 192.168.33.20:5432.

What does this really do?

  • Boots up an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS VM from an Ubuntu official image.
  • Installs the vagrant-vbguest plugin, which upgrades the VirtualBox Guest Extensions to the latest version. This ensures compatibility with mounted drives.
  • Installs puppet using the shell provisioner.
  • Installs PostgreSQL using the puppet provisioner and the puppetlabs/postgresql module.
  • Modifies pg_hba.conf so PostgreSQL listens to 192.168.33.20. This makes PostgreSQL accessible from outside the VM.
  • Creates a database and assigns the proper roles to the vagrant user. The name of the database is configurable on manifests/default.pp.
