Jumpers

'Jumpers' is a Vagrant project that is meant to help devs/ops spawn virtual servers on the fly & focus on the task at hand, instead of wasting valuable time on covering up the steep learning-curve, downloading, installing & configuring virtual servers. Think of this project as a jump-start for setting-up the v-servers required to play with Docker-Swarm or Kubernetes

Prerequisites

• Linux Ubuntu OS.
• With basics of vagrant & the hunger to learn more, that's all you need.

Basics

These are the basics that you might find useful to get going.

Configuration

1. First things first! Install Vagrant.

   sudo apt install -y vagrant

2. Download Virtualbox. Note: Check for latest version.

   wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.18/virtualbox-5.2_5.2.18-124319~Ubuntu~bionic_amd64.deb

3. Install Virtualbox. Note: Check for latest version.

   sudo dpkg --install virtualbox-5.2_5.2.18-124319~Ubuntu~bionic_amd64.deb

   Missing dependencies? Don't worry, just execute:

   sudo apt-get install -f

4. Clone the Jumpers project & cd into the Jumpers directory.

   git clone https://github.com/sean-huni/Jumpers.git && cd Jumpers/

5. Upgrade Vagrant if necessary.

   ./vagrant-update-all-boxes.sh

6. Execute the vagrant cmd to boot-up vagrant. Note: Vagrant may take a while to boot-up...

   vagrant up

7. Check the status of the vagrant boxes.

   vagrant global-status | grep -i jumpers

8. ssh into any one of the nodes (manager, worker-1, worker-2, worker-3)

   Example: vagrant ssh manager

9. Checkout some quick-reference guide: Cheatsheet !!!

Congratualations you've created your virtual-servers embedded with docker within!!!
