<p>This page describes how to create a Vagrant Box, using the base virtual machine configured in <a href="./1.1.2.-Oracle-Virtual-Box">Oracle Virtual Box</a>.</p>
<h1 id="virtual-machine-specifications">Virtual Machine specifications</h1>
<p>Most of the specifications can be as specified in the <a href="./1.1.2.-Oracle-Virtual-Box">Oracle Virtual Box</a> page, however, there are a few particularities to Vagrant that must be accommodated, such as:
- Virtual Hard Disk
  - Size: 60GB (at least)
  - <strong>Type</strong>: VMDK</p>
<p><img alt="spaces_huDzAu5hmjUdNzCGBBbL_uploads_jrerlmLyZWi5f2Tzb7xY_Screenshot_from_2023-07-10_18-13-43" src="uploads/23ff9a3d6884646f7859a29d8f5ab934/spaces_huDzAu5hmjUdNzCGBBbL_uploads_jrerlmLyZWi5f2Tzb7xY_Screenshot_from_2023-07-10_18-13-43.webp" /></p>
<p>Also, before initiating the VM and installing the OS, we'll need to:
- Disable Floppy in the 'Boot Order'
- Disable audio
- Disable USB
- Ensure Network Adapter 1 is set to NAT</p>
<h1 id="network-configurations">Network configurations</h1>
<p>At Network Adapt 1, the following port-forwarding rule must be set.</p>

<h1 id="installing-the-os">Installing the OS</h1>
<p>For a Vagrant Box, it is generally suggested that the ISO's server version is used, as it is intended to be used via SSH, and any web GUI is expected to be forwarded to the host.</p>

<p>Make sure the disk is not configured as an LVM group!</p>

<h2 id="vagrant-ser">Vagrant ser</h2>
<p>Vagrant expects by default, that in the box's OS exists the user <code>vagrant</code> with the password also being <code>vagrant</code>.</p>

<h2 id="ssh">SSH</h2>
<p>Vagrant uses SSH to connect to the boxes, so installing it now will save the hassle of doing it later.</p>

<p>On VirtualBox Manager, open the VM main screen. If you are running the VM in headless

If a dialog informing about how to leave the interface of the VM is shown, confirm 
by pressing the "Switch" button. The interface of the VM should appear.</p>
<p>Click the menu "Device &gt; Insert Guest Additions CD image..."</p>
<p>On the VM terminal, type:</p>

<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/vagrant
</code></pre>
<p>and add the following lines</p>
<pre><code class="language-text"># add vagrant user
vagrant ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
</code></pre>
<p>You can now test that it works by running a simple command.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo pwd
</code></pre>
<p>Issuing this command should result in an immediate response without a request for a password.</p>
<h2 id="install-the-vagrant-key">Install the Vagrant key</h2>
<p>Vagrant uses a default set of SSH keys for you to directly connect to boxes via the CLI command <code>vagrant ssh</code>, after which it creates a new set of SSH keys for your new box. Because of this, we need to load the default key to be able to access the box after created.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">chmod 0700 /home/vagrant/.ssh
wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/master/keys/vagrant.pub -O /home/vagrant/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 0600 /home/vagrant/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown -R vagrant /home/vagrant/.ssh
</code></pre>
<h2 id="configure-the-openssh-server">Configure the OpenSSH Server</h2>
<p>Edit the <code>/etc/ssh/sshd_config</code> file:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
</code></pre>
<p>And uncomment the following line:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
</code></pre>
<p>Then restart SSH.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">sudo service ssh restart
</code></pre>
<h2 id="package-the-box">Package the box</h2>
<p>Before you package the box, if you intend to make your box public, it is best to clean your bash history with:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">history -c
</code></pre>
<p>Exit the SSH connection, and <strong>at you're host machine</strong>, package the VM:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">vagrant package --base teraflowsdncontroller --output teraflowsdncontroller.box
</code></pre>
<h2 id="test-run-the-box">Test run the box</h2>
<p>Add the base box to you local Vagrant box list:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">vagrant box add --name teraflowsdncontroller ./teraflowsdncontroller.box
</code></pre>
<p>Now you should try to run it, for that you'll need to create a <strong>Vagrantfile</strong>. For a simple run, this is the minimal required code for this box:</p>
<pre><code class="language-ruby"># -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure(&quot;2&quot;) do |config|
  config.vm.box = &quot;teraflowsdncontroller&quot;
  config.vm.box_version = &quot;1.1.0&quot;
  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: 8080 ,guest: 80
end
</code></pre>
<p>Now you'll be able to spin up the virtual machine by issuing the command:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">vagrant up
</code></pre>
<p>And connect to the machine using:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">vagrant ssh
</code></pre>
<h1 id="pre-configured-boxes">Pre-configured boxes</h1>
<p>If you do not wish to create your own Vagrant Box, you can use one of the existing ones created by TFS contributors.
- <a href="https://app.vagrantup.com/davidjosearaujo/boxes/teraflowsdncontroller">davidjosearaujo/teraflowsdncontroller</a>
- ... <!-- Should create and host one at ETSI!! --></p>
<p>To use them, you simply have to create a Vagrantfile and run <code>vagrant up controller</code> in the same directory. The following example Vagrantfile already allows you to do just that, with the bonus of exposing the multiple management GUIs to your <code>localhost</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="language-ruby">Vagrant.configure(&quot;2&quot;) do |config|

  config.vm.define &quot;controller&quot; do |controller|
    controller.vm.box = &quot;davidjosearaujo/teraflowsdncontroller&quot;
    controller.vm.network &quot;forwarded_port&quot;, guest: 80, host: 8080     # WebUI
    controller.vm.network &quot;forwarded_port&quot;, guest: 8084, host: 50750  # Linkerd Viz Dashboard
    controller.vm.network &quot;forwarded_port&quot;, guest: 8081, host: 8081   # CockroachDB Dashboard
    controller.vm.network &quot;forwarded_port&quot;, guest: 8222, host: 8222   # NATS Dashboard
    controller.vm.network &quot;forwarded_port&quot;, guest: 9000, host: 9000   # QuestDB Dashboard
    controller.vm.network &quot;forwarded_port&quot;, guest: 9090, host: 9090   # Prometheus Dashboard

    # Setup Linkerd Viz reverse proxy
    ## Copy config file
    controller.vm.provision &quot;file&quot; do |f|
      f.source = &quot;./reverse-proxy-linkerdviz.sh&quot;
      f.destination = &quot;./reverse-proxy-linkerdviz.sh&quot;
    end
    ## Execute configuration file
    controller.vm.provision &quot;shell&quot; do |s|
      s.inline = &quot;chmod +x ./reverse-proxy-linkerdviz.sh &amp;&amp; ./reverse-proxy-linkerdviz.sh&quot;
    end

    # Update controller source code to the desired branch
    if ENV['BRANCH'] != nil
      controller.vm.provision &quot;shell&quot; do |s|
        s.inline = &quot;cd ./tfs-ctrl &amp;&amp; git pull &amp;&amp; git switch &quot; + ENV['BRANCH']
      end
    end

  end
end
</code></pre>
<p>This Vagrantfile also allows for <strong>optional repository updates</strong> on startup by running the command with a specified environment variable <code>BRANCH</code></p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">BRANCH=develop vagrant up controller
</code></pre>
<h2 id="linkerd-dns-rebinding-bypass">Linkerd DNS rebinding bypass</h2>
<p>Because of Linkerd's security measures against DNS rebinding, a reverse proxy, that modifies the request's header <code>Host</code> field, is needed to expose the GUI to the host. The previous Vagrantfile already deploys such configurations, for that, all you need to do is create the <code>reverse-proxy-linkerdviz.sh</code> file in the same directory. The content of this file is displayed below.</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash"># Install NGINX
sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt install nginx -y

# NGINX reverse proxy configuration
echo 'server {
    listen 8084;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:50750;
        proxy_set_header Host localhost;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}' &gt; /home/vagrant/expose-linkerd

# Create symlink of the NGINX configuration file
sudo ln -s /home/vagrant/expose-linkerd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

# Commit the reverse proxy configurations
sudo systemctl restart nginx

# Enable start on login
echo &quot;linkerd viz dashboard &amp;&quot; &gt;&gt; .profile

# Start dashboard
linkerd viz dashboard &amp;

echo &quot;Linkerd Viz dashboard running!&quot;
