GrETEL Vagrant Box

A vagrant box for GrETEL, including the Upload functionality.

Usage

Run vagrant up

To finish the installation and make gretel work do the following:

• Go to localhost:8080/gretel-upload in your browser
• Upload a corpus with a guest account
• Go to localhost:8080/gretel Gretel works now

Both gretel and gretel_upload are cloned to vagrant_data and you can start working on it.

Troubleshooting

Make sure that all users have full access (777) to the content of vagrant data. This is necessary because of a quirk with the shared directories.

Explanation

Vagrant is used to create a virtual machine in a repeatable manner. This Vagrant file does the following interesting things:

1. It creates a ubuntu/bionic64 box.
2. It links the localhost:8080 to port 80 on the guest machine.
3. It runs a bunch of scripts that install packages and copies config files.
   1. In particular install_mysql.sh is interesting because it makes use of a preseed: /vagrant/vagrant_data/scripts/mysql-server.preseed.

See VagrantFile for a more detailed explanation.

See vagrant_data/scripts for the scripts that are used.

See vagrant_data/config for the config files that are used.
