# vagrant-saltlab

Using Vagrant to run a portable [Salt](https://saltproject.io/) lab environment [on my Chromebook](https://runtimeterror.dev/create-vms-chromebook-hashicorp-vagrant/). The included Vagrantfile spawns a environment with a single Salt Master (named `salt`) and four Salt Minions (named `minion##`) running a few different common Linux distributions for learning, testing, and development. It leverages the `libvirt` provider to interact with native Linux virtualization, and has a few tweaks to work around limitations imposed by running this all within ChromeOS's LXC-based [Linux development environment](https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439).

Using [HashiCorp Vagrant](https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant) to run a portable, redeployable [Salt](https://saltproject.io/) lab environment [on my Chromebook](https://runtimeterror.dev/create-vms-chromebook-hashicorp-vagrant/).

The included Vagrantfile spawns a environment with a single Salt Master (named `salt`) and four Salt Minions (named `minion##`) running different common Linux distributions for learning, testing, and development. It leverages the [`libvirt` provider](https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt) to interact with native Linux virtualization, and has a few tweaks to work around limitations imposed by running this all within ChromeOS's LXC-based [Linux development environment](https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439).
|
||||
|
||||
To make it easier to deploy, test, break, tear down, and redeploy the environment:
|
||||
1. The Salt master blindly auto-accepts all minion keys.
|
||||
2. The minions register the `roles:saltlab` grain to aid in targeting.
|
||||
3. The master uses `gitfs` to pull the Salt content from this very Github repo.
|
||||
4. Additionally, the contents of `salt_content/local` get `rsync`ed to `/srv/` when the master starts up to make it easier to write/test Salt content locally. This is a one-way `rsync` from host to VM (and not the other way around), so make sure to write your Salt content on the host and use `vagrant rsync` to push changes into the VM.

|
||||
## Preparation
|
||||
See [the blog post](https://runtimeterror.dev/create-vms-chromebook-hashicorp-vagrant/) for full details on how I've configured my environment.
|
||||
|
||||
<details><summary>Here's the crash course:</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify support for nested virtualization:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
ls -l /dev/kvm
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Install prerequisites:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo apt update && sudo apt install \
|
||||
build-essential \
|
||||
gpg \
|
||||
lsb-release \
|
||||
rsync \
|
||||
wget
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Install `virt-manager` and `libvirt-dev`:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo apt install virt-manager libvirt-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Configure libvirt:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo gpasswd -a $USER libvirt ; newgrp libvirt
|
||||
echo "remember_owner = 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
|
||||
echo "namespaces = []" | sudo tee -a /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart libvirtd
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. Install Vagrant
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
wget -O- https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg
|
||||
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
sudo apt install vagrant
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. Install `vagrant-libvirt` plugin:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
|
||||
```
|
||||

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Clone this repo:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/jbowdre/vagrant-saltlab.git
|
||||
cd vagrant-saltlab
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Review the Vagrantfile, and adjust `CPU_COUNT` and `MEMORY_MB` if needed. Note that some of the machines won't function correctly with less than `1024` MB.
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
vim Vagrantfile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Provision the virtual environment:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
vagrant up
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The master and four minions will be deployed; this will take a few minutes. Once complete, you can verify status with `vagrant status`:
