Blimp Workers

Blimp workers using Vagrant with VirtualBox and Digital Ocean providers. This is an experimental setup not currently in our production environments.

Plugins

This makes use of two Vagrant plugins which can be installed by doing:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-digitalocean

Setup

You need to create a file named .env based off sample.env and fill the correct values. The Vagrantfile will make use of this file to setup the environment variables needed.

You also need to copy the following ignored files into your templates folder.

• templates/ssh/authorized_keys
• templates/ssh/known_hosts
• templates/blimp.env
• templates/heroku.netrc

Local provision

vagrant up staging
vagrant ssh staging -- -l ubuntu

Digital Ocean provision

vagrant up staging --provider=digital_ocean
vagrant ssh staging -- -l ubuntu
