This is project defines a manual setup of VMs running separate different services.
- Oracle VM Virtualbox
- Vagrant
- Vagrant plugins
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
- Git bash or equivalent editor
- Clone source code.
- Cd into the repository.
- Switch to the main branch.
- cd into vagrant/ Manual_provisioning directory
Note
Bringing up all the vm’s may take a long time based on various factors. If vm setup stops in the middle run “vagrant up” command again.
- Nginx => Web Service
- Tomcat => Application Server
- RabbitMQ => Broker/Queuing Agent
- Memcache => DB Caching
- ElasticSearch => Indexing/Search service
- MySQL => SQL Database
Setup should be done in the following order:
- MySQL (Database SVC)
- Memcache (DB Caching SVC)
- RabbitMQ (Broker/Queue SVC)
- Tomcat (Application SVC)
- Nginx (Web SVC)
Login to the db vm
$ vagrant ssh db01
Verify Hosts entry, if entries missing update the it with IP and hostnames
# cat /etc/hosts
Update OS with latest patches
# yum update -y
Set Repository
# yum install epel-release -y
Install Maria DB Package
# yum install git mariadb-server -y
Starting & enabling mariadb-server
# systemctl start mariadb
# systemctl enable mariadb
Note
Set db root password, I will be using admin123 as password
Set DB name and users.
# mysql -u root -padmin123
mysql> create database accounts;
mysql> grant all privileges on accounts.* TO 'admin'@'%' identified by 'admin123';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;
Download Source code & Initialize Database.
#git clone -b main https://github.com/hkhcoder/vprofile-project.git
#cd vprofile-project
#mysql -u root -padmin123 accounts < src/main/resources db_backup.sql
#mysql -u root -padmin123 accounts
mysql> show tables;
mysql> exit;
