Python AWS Development Environment for Vagrant using Docker

This is a Vagrant development environment for Python AWS development using Docker as a virtualization provider.

This is based on the official Python Docker image, which is Debian-based. It adds a few utilities to support using it as a Vagrant development environment along with the following development utilities:

awscli
docker
pipenv

Quick Start

docker pull bennyhahmeen/pyawsdev
cd <this-directory>
vagrant up

Then configure your IDE to connect to vagrant.

Optionally edit Vagrantfile and change the source code directory being synced to the virtualized environment:

config.vm.synced_folder "~/src", "/src"

Details

This Docker container is intended to be used by mounting source code from the development environment at /src and mounting /var/lib/docker.sock. Mounting /var/lib/docker.sock provides the ability to run docker inside the container to create AWS Lambda dependencies.

pyawsdev-bootstrap contains setup scripts to bootstrap a development environment with the tools necessary to use this.

Building for Local Updates

Edit Vagrantfile to comment out d.image and uncomment d.build_dir like so:

# d.image = "bennyhahmeen/pyawsdev"
d.build_dir = "."

Then run vagrant up as usual and it will build the docker image locally rather than pulling it from Docker Hub.

Manually running Docker directly

docker pull bennyhahmeen/pyawsdev
cd <my-project-directory>
docker run --rm -it -v "`pwd`:/src" -w /src -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock bennyhahmeen/pyawsdev bash
