LR Vagrant Readme

Overview

The Learning Registry is a project spearheaded by the US Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology to make digital learning resources easier to find, easier to access and easier to integrate into learning environments wherever they are stored -- around the country and the world. Although the Department's public nodes were shuttered in September 2018, the project codebase lives on and can be adapted by anyone for public or private use.

The LR-Vagrant project provides configurations and virtualbox images to start up and test Learning Registry nodes, or the LR Search server. More information on the LR-Data and LR Search Widget projects can be found on their respective GitHub repos.

Vagrant Box Details

There are the basic Vagrant VMs as listed in the table below:

Vagrant ID Hostname Description
lr lr.local This is a Learning Registry node with a base configuration, running latest stable LR code.
lr51 lr51.local Optional VM. This is a Learning Registry v.51 node with a base configuration.
lr49 lr49.local Optional VM. This is a Learning Registry v.49 node with a base configuration.
lruser lruser.local Optional VM. This is a Linux Mint desktop VM. Can be used to access the apps running on lr51 VM. Alternative to using this is updating host's hosts file to point to IP's of the VMs.
lrsearch lrsearch.local Optional VM. Local dev copy of LR Search services. Provides the LR-Data indexing, the search widget manager app, and the search APIs.

Instructions

  1. Install VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org

  2. Install Vagrant https://www.vagrantup.com

  3. Open a Terminal, shell, or command prompt and clone this repository.

    Using bash

    $ mkdir -p /<some work path>/
    $ cd /<some work path>/
    $ git clone https://github.com/LearningRegistry/lr-vagrant.git lr-vagrant
    $ cd lr-vagrant
    
  4. Install some vagrant plugins.

    Using bash

    $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
    
  5. Launch the VM's. Each line launches a different VM.

    Using bash

    $ vagrant up lr ## this is a Learning Registry demo node, using latest stable code
    $ vagrant up lrsearch  ## this is the LR Search services, which points at local lr by default but could be used solo with public LR nodes.
    
  6. Optional LR User VM

    Using bash

    $ vagrant up lruser  ## this is a Linux Mint desktop that can be used as a client on the same network as the other VMs
    
  7. VMs should be running... http://lr.local/ or http://lrsearch.local/

Notes

  • You will need approximately 10 GB free on your host machine with 2GB RAM or more, 8+ preferred... for each VM you want to run.

  • The VMs will take quite a long time to download the base boxes the first time, but are then cached locally in $HOME/.vagrant. You can get a list of these boxes by issuing the following command.

    Using bash

    $ vagrant box list
    
  • You can set an environment variable in your profile if you want to use an external drive to store VMs: export VAGRANT_HOME=/Volumes/MyExternalDrive/vagrant

  • You may be prompted to enter your host machine admin password to update /etc/hosts or equivalent on Windows.

  • When the box is launched, this directory is shared on the the vagrant box as /vagrant

  • This project was initially developed to test distribution between nodes running v0.49 and v0.51 and use of admin whitelisted keys. Information on those setups can be found in test/LRv49-51_ReadMe.rst

Setup for development from the host machine

Using a vagrant synced folder you can do development on your local (host) machine while running the code on the virtual machine. To implement this setup (only needs to be done once):

  1. Shutdown the node if it's running: vagrant halt lr

  2. Uncomment and update the lr.vm.synced_folder in Vagrantfile with your local LearningRegistry src folder location

    • If you are running on Windows, you will need to escape your file path. i.e.:
    "G:\\LearningRegistry\\source"
    
  3. Start the node, and then run the bin/setup_local_dev.sh script

    Using bash

    $ vagrant up lr
    $ vagrant ssh lr -c '/vagrant/bin/setup_local_dev.sh'
    

Scripts

The bin directory contains a list of misc scripts that can be run via

Using bash

$ vagrant ssh <boxname> -c '/vagrant/bin/<script name>'
Script Name Description
set-insecure-key.sh Preps a vagrant box for repackaging.
provision-lr-branch.sh <remote_name> <remote_url> <tag> Adds a new remote to the existing checked out LR code base and checks out the specified tag.
provision-fix-start-script.sh Runs the LR service_util.py with default options and then replaces the existing script in /etc/init.d/ with the newly generated one.
install_whitelist_key.py Configures /vagrant/signing_keys/pub_keys/ as the Admin Whitelist Public Keys directory.
setup_local_dev.sh Sets LR_HOME to /lr_src synced_folder for local dev (see instructions above)

GPG Public and Private Keys

Signing keys for performing external document signing are located in ./signing_keys.
