I have windows 10 installed on my machine and used to this Vagrant image for Java developing.

Recently i installed Docker for Windows which uses Hyper-V and can't use virtualbox anymore. Thus this Vagrant image is also unavailable for me.
I would like to use Docker for Windows and this Vagrant image simultaneously, which is impossible with VirtualBox provider.

I saw in documentation that Docker can be used as vagrant provider, but this image is built for VBox.
I suggest to support Docker provider for this image if it is possible.

It would be useful to have Kitematic in the devbox as it can now be packaged as a .deb (see this kitematic PR).

The only problem is that we have to build the .deb ourself, I don't see it being distributed by Docker any time soon as the Linux support is community contributed.

To try it:

curl -O https://github.com/PierreBesson/jhipster-devbox/blob/install-kitematic/packages/Kitematic_0.10.2-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i dist/Kitematic_0.10.2-1_amd64.deb

See https://atlas.hashicorp.com/kaorimatz/boxes/ubuntu-16.04-amd64
The template used is in https://github.com/kaorimatz/packer-templates/blob/master/ubuntu-16.04-amd64.json so we can see exactly what was used to generate.

Important to use kubernetes, rancher, swarm locally.
Also we are not installing virtualbox in virtualbox...

To make the box available on https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ from @cbornet

Vagrant up to start and provision the vm
Then in the vm (or by vagrant ssh) to reduce the box size :

• sudo apt-get clean
• sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/EMPTY bs=1M && sudo rm -f /EMPTY
• cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history && history -c
  (these commands could be added to the setup script)
  Then "vagrant package" to package in a .box file
  Then upload your box in https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/new

obviously

Sorry I'm a vagrant newby, is there a way to run the box for a specific jhipster version?

Thank you

I ran the vagrant installer from Atlas and MySQL / MySQL Workbench were not installed by default.

As far as I understand this devbox is for developers which work with the generated application. Is there any interest in a devbox for developers which work on the yeoman generator. This devbox could have the following features:

• Atom-Editor
• Cloned jhipster-generator repo
• All sample apps cloned
• All SDK for the deployment subgen installed

What are your opinions about that?

After vagrant init, the default user to connect to the box will be "vagrant" but it doesn't exist on the box
Without ssh, most vagrant commands will not work and you can't mount the shared directories.

Two solutions:

• after vagrant init, set in Vagrantfile

config.ssh.username = "jhipster"
config.ssh.password = "jhipster"

• create the user vagrant during provisioning

useradd vagrant --password wthgG9Dxlk13E --home /home/vagrant --create-home -s /bin/bash
echo "vagrant ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/vagrant
mkdir -p /home/vagrant/.ssh
wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/master/keys/vagrant.pub -O /home/vagrant/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 0700 /home/vagrant/.ssh
chmod 0600 /home/vagrant/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown -R vagrant /home/vagrant/.ssh

and config.ssh.insert_key = false (otherwise the vagrant will try to use the ubuntu private_key)

The previous ubuntu image had a 40G disk. The new one has only 10G and its already almost full when you first start it.
I often have a lot of disk/FS errors when starting the VM (in that case I need to restart it completely) and I suspect it is due to this.

jhipster is proposing to use H2 or postgre as a dev database and not mysql.
The "fast" profile recommends to use a non-memory database.
Would it not be nice to have postgre instead mysql (or both)?

Do i need a atlas login ?

D:\jhipster-devbox>vagrant box add jhipster/jhipster-devbox
The box 'jhipster/jhipster-devbox' could not be found or
could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private
box on HashiCorp's Atlas, please verify you're logged in via
vagrant login. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded
URL and error message are shown below:

URL: ["https://atlas.hashicorp.com/jhipster/jhipster-devbox"]
Error: The requested URL returned error: 407

After log in into the VM by Virtual Box interface, system (xubuntu) is by default in french language, also the home folders are localized in french ( i.e. Desktop -> Bureau )
My host system is in English

  I am trying to use the latest version ( Upgrade to JHipster 2.25.0) but I have encountered the following problem:

Windows 8.1
Vagrant 1.7.3 (with Vagrant 1.7.4 fails even when trying to download the image).

I suppose it's a configuration problem in my windows environment  or a Vagrant bug. I will post the solution to help other users.

Thanks for your support!

Since everybody likes VSCode, we should install it instead of Atom (very easy vith ubuntu-make)
What extensions would you like to see installed ?

Or create an alias so that STS can easily be started from a terminal

It would be great to be able to update an existing devbox with the latest script by just calling vagrant reload --provision

The current configuration forwards only ports 8080 and 9000 which are the default ones for working on a monolith app, shouldn't we make it easier for micro services apps too by including port ranges like below?

# JHipster registry default port
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 8761, host: 8761
# Spring boot ports
for p in 8080..8090
    config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: p, host: p
end
# browser-sync ports
for p in 9000..9010
    config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: p, host: p
end

STS now installed to /opt (/opt/sts-bundle/). README needs updating

Using sudo with vagrant user gives this error:

sudo apt-get update
>>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 31 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 31
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

I cannot find in documentation wich user should be used to do sudo commands.

That's not very important for me -> we should have this through Ubuntu Make, maybe this should be totally removed in fact?
But notifying @cbornet as he coded it.

When I try to update the devbox to the current version, only version 4.13.2 is offered.

When I try to pin to the version 4.13.3 using the Vagrantfile available at https://app.vagrantup.com/jhipster/boxes/jhipster-devbox/versions/4.13.3, I get the the following error message:

This can be used to upgrade IDEA and easily install the Ultimate edition.

When trying to install Guake terminal utility from Ubuntu Software Center I am being asked by "ubuntu" user's password. What is the password for "ubuntu" user?

# install languages
sudo apt-get install language-pack-fr

should be

# install languages
sudo apt-get install -y language-pack-fr

This is because of

config.vm.synced_folder "~/jhipster", "/home/vagrant/jhipster"

Windows can't find ~/jhipster (obviously)

It could be interesting to install :

• zsh
• oh-my-zsh
• all JHipster alias: https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-oh-my-zsh-plugin

As per https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/Inotify+Watches+Limit

I launch the installation with vagrant up > log.txt
Here the full log: log.txt

It need to be analyzed, as there are some errors. Here, 2 of them:

Hello
I would like to maintain this project, I've been using jhipster since gulp time, so I would like to contribute to the project

We've had so many bugs with Ubuntu Xenial, let's switch back to Trusty.

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/box.html

install:
vagrant box add jhipster/jhipster-devbox
update:
vagrant box update jhipster/jhipster-devbox

Hi,
Apologies for the rookie Unix/Linux question but why is it the vagrant account ends up with zsh as its default shell when bash is listed as the default choice for that user in /etc/passwd ?
Thank you very much in advance for your patience.
Regards
kbjp

Currently the deployed Atlas box embeds a private key.
As per http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/boxes/base.html, the box, it should instead use the default insecure_private_key so that the key pair is generated when the user boots its vm.
To do this, the box that is booted for packaging should have config.ssh.insert_key = false in its Vagrantfile to prevent the ssh key pair replacement.

As the script is already run as sudo by vagrant

Version : 3.3.0

Host OS: Windows 10

Issue: Not able to login with username and password as vagrant.

I can only login when I boot and if system gets locked, the password vagrant doesn't unlock the system.
Screen flashes and settles down to Locked screen.

PS: It does not give password error. vagrant is correct password but can't unlock system with it.

When executing webdriver-manager update command (automatically executed by mvn), it does not have the necessary rights to write to /usr/lib/nodes_module.
If I execute as root the update command, it works. But when I execute again mvn, even if no driver has to be updated, it tries a chmod, resulting in a failure.
Execute mvn as root fails also on bower.

I following this guides so I am able to install globally npm-based commands:
https://github.com/sindresorhus/guides/blob/master/npm-global-without-sudo.md

I would recommand such configuration to prevent issues

Hi,

This is probably a silly question as I'm a newbie at JHipster.

I've just installed jhipster-devbox without problems, and connected by SSH. However, if aI understood properly you need to setup an IDE (obviously) in order to customize your JHipster application, and here is my question?

• If I use my host OS instead of Vagrant, do I have to share a folder with my host OS?

• If I prefer to do everthing inside the vagrant instance, if I can only use SSH, How am I supposed to access to GUI?

Sorry for the silly question, but I couldnt' find the solution out on the Internet,...

Many thanks,

Javier.

This extension is quite outdated... you may want to use the official extension?

As mentionned here jhipster/generator-jhipster#5343 (comment)

the var $PATH need to be updated with

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:`yarn global bin`:$HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin"' >> /home/vagrant/.zshrc

(it's not to forget to do it)

I'm sure this is possible and it's badly needed as building the box is way too slow.

getting below screen
??error.title_en_US??
??error.subtitle_en_US??

• At all my trainings people have trouble using Ubuntu Desktop
• XUbuntu is lighter, so I hope it will work faster

I had to do this on my devbox to have up-to-date cacerts for the JVM

apt-get install -y ca-certificates ca-certificates-java
# Patch the ca-certificates-java script to use our Java 
sed -i -e 's/java-6-sun/java-${JAVA_VERSION}-oracle/g' /etc/ca-certificates/update.d/jks-keystore
update-ca-certificates 
# Modify the JDK installation to use our local cacerts 
mv -v ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/security/cacerts ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/security/cacerts.original
ln -vs /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/security

I just completed a training and we had so many issues with STS.... I use IDEA Ultimate Edition, but the Community Edition is free and enough to work on a normal JHipster project.
So my proposal is to migrate to IDEA Community Edition in the devbox.

I have errors when generating a project after linking to my cloned generator-jhipster

Steps to reproduce:

• login as jhipster
• clone generator-jhipster
• sudo npm link
• create a new project
• yo jhipster
  --> error

I think is because the node_modules inside /usr/lib belong to the ubuntu group (as they were pulled by the ubuntu user during box generation)
If I change ownership to jhipster, then it works again.

It's really a pain that the ubuntu box doesn't respect the vagrant user requirement...
