[okfn-labs] Distributing pybossa vagrant box issues

Mon Jul 15 07:18:44 UTC 2013

Hi José,

Vagrant is designed for deploying easily development environments locally.
The issue of deploying a virtual machine like that as a service could be
problematic.

For example, PyBossa Vagrant is configured to run in debug mode, so you
will need to re-configure everything in order to make it a safe service
(check the passwords and user names, all of them are *test*). Thus, I do
not recommend you to deploy PyBossa based on that Vagrant configuration, it
has another purpose.

As you have VirtualBox, download an Ubuntu ISO, preferably the Long Term
Support one. Then, follow the installation
guide<http://docs.pybossa.com/en/latest/installing_pybossa.html>,
which is a step by step guide. Once you have it configured, then, you
can export
the Virtual Machine <http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#ovf>, and
import it back in the server that you want to host it. This should be
straight forward and easy to do. If you have any problems, following the
steps, please, let me know it, and I'll help you.

All the best,

Daniel

PS: Note, the documentation that you were reading from Vagrant is outdated.
Vagrant is now in version 2.0.
