Ruby on High Speed Rails: Debian Stable Vagrant box
My presentation on Vagrant is at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6n9UlfqV3juc3NleW9PdWtydTA/view?usp=sharing The Vagrant repository that I'm now using for Ruby on Rails development is at https://github.com/jhsu802701/vagrant_debian_wheezy_rvm . My Vagrant base box includes the latest versions of RVM, Chef, and Puppet. Thanks to Derek Rockwell for paving the way for me with the Rails.MN Vagrant setup at https://github.com/railsmn/railsmn-dev-box . Unlike most of the Vagrant base boxes that people are using for Ruby on Rails development, my Vagrant base box uses Debian Stable instead of Ubuntu. Debian Stable requires only occasional and modest updates. In contrast, Ubuntu becomes out of date very rapidly and thus requires frequent and substantial updates. My Vagrant base boxes are open source. The source code I use to create my Vagrant base boxes is at https://github.com/jhsu802701/packer-debian-wheezy-rvm . I'm using an open source program called Packer (http://www.packer.io) to create my Vagrant base boxes. Thanks to Pierre Mavro for paving the way for me with his source code for creating a Debian base box at https://github.com/deimosfr/packer-wheezy . If you aren't already using Vagrant, it's time to start. I've been taking action to improve everyone's Vagrant experience, and I'm making Vagrant part of my standard operating procedure for Ruby on Rails development. My Vagrant setup will be valuable for RailsBridge, Startup Weekend, and 24-hour web site challenges. Vagrant is especially valuable on Windows computers due to the pitfalls of installing Ruby on Rails in the Windows environment. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
