At this early stage in the tutorial we use the included boshdev helper script and skip over the individual commands required. boshdev - a vagrant like workflow For convenience there is a simple bash script boshdev included in aussielunix/bosh-dev-env to give you a vagrant like workflow.

You will be able to interact with this local bosh director and Concourse the same way you would a remote, production grade setup. With the move to bosh2 and bosh-deployment, treating your local dev differently to production is no longer needed. bosh-lite, the vagrant box with a bosh director baked in is now deprecated in favour of the virtualbox CPI and treating virtualbox just like any other IaaS provider. http://aussie.lunix.com.au/tutorial/bosh/localdev/boshcli/ Tue, 18 Jul 2017 20:57:38 +1000 http://aussie.lunix.com.au/tutorial/bosh/localdev/boshcli/ Before you can work with a bosh director you will need to install the bosh cli tool. Follow the instructions for your platform. Be sure you have also installed the OS specified dependencies for bosh create-env command. Check bosh version to make sure it is properly installed: $ bosh -v version 2.0.26-105157c-2017-06-22T18:53:53Z Be sure the output begins with version 2.0… Next we get a bosh director running http://aussie.lunix.com.au/tutorial/bosh/localdev/virtualbox/ Sun, 16 Jul 2017 16:16:38 +1000 http://aussie.lunix.com.au/tutorial/bosh/localdev/virtualbox/ Having a local virtual machine system is extremly beneficial to working effectively locally. The following is a tutorial on getting Virtualbox installed and running locally on an Ubuntu workstation. If you are using a different Operating System then Virtualbox provide documentation. The following has been automated and is available as an Ansible role in Pajuna. Overview Download the Oracle public key for apt-secure You should get a fingerprint the same as I do below but confirm this on the Virtualbox site Install the Oracle public key for apt-secure Install the Oracle public apt repo for Virtualbox Create a new file /etc/apt/sources. http://aussie.lunix.com.au/tutorial/bosh/bosh_release_howto/ Sun, 16 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0000 http://aussie.lunix.com.au/tutorial/bosh/bosh_release_howto/ A tutorial on creating a bosh release from scratch.

Mick’s focus at the DTA was on building cloud.gov.au, the next generation hosting platform that allowed digital transformation teams to operate safely at speed. Mick co-founded Devops Sydney along with Lindsay Holmwood in Feb 2010 - a monthly meetup for ideas and knowledge sharing around helping development and operations work more efficiently together rather than in silos. http://aussie.lunix.com.au/post/funny_tech_support_emails/ Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:42:00 +1000 http://aussie.lunix.com.au/post/funny_tech_support_emails/ In the late 1990’s we purchased a few small ISP’s and whilst auditing their old servers (terrible mess) I come across these beauties. I thought I’d share these I found for this years System Administrator’s Appreciation Day. They both made me laugh back then and still make me laugh today. Oh how I miss the days of ISP land.
