There are a lot of plugins that make Vagrant development a little easier. Vagrant is a command-line tool, but is not installed by default on most systems. We often use VirtualBox because it’s free, but it’s likely that Vagrant also works with your personal preference. Vagrant works in combination with many different virtualisation software. Windows users may need to install a similar tool (such as Git Bash). Linux / Unix systems will already have a terminal (command-line interface) available. Preparationīefore we can begin, there are a few requirements:
In our scenario we want to install the Eclipse IDE and set up a functional development workspace.
Boxes are foundational virtual machine images upon which you can build various customisations. We’ve been using Vagrant because it has lots of well-supported “base boxes” available. There are many tools available to create virtual machines (or containers) from code (or “automatically”). One of the interesting developments has been the request to create ready-made development environments, so that new members to the IT team need not worry about parameters or software dependencies. This has encouraged businesses to find more ways to utilise it in their IT environments. Recently, Docker (and its related technologies) has become more popular.
