Build Metron Images

Based on the fantastic Bento project developed by Chef.

Images Provided

• hdp-centos-6.7: Centos 6.7 + HDP. Used in the quick-dev-platform Vagrant image
• metron-centos-6.7: Centos 6.7 + HDP + Metron. Used for the codelab-platform Vagrant image.

Prerequisites

• Packer 0.10.1
• Virtualbox 5.0.16
• Be sure to build Metron prior to building the images (cd your-project-directory/metron-platform && mvn clean package -DskipTests)

Build Both Images

Navigate to <your-project-directory>/metron-deployment/packer-build Execute bin/bento build

Packer will build both images and export .box files to the ./builds directory.

Build Single Images

Navigate to your-project-directory/metron-deployment/packer-build

• HDP Centos

bin/bento build hdp-centos-6.7.json

• Full Metron

bin/bento build metron-centos-6.7.json

Using Your New Box File

Modify the relevant Vagrantfile (codelab-platform or quick-dev-platform) replacing the lines:

<pre><code>config.vm.box = "<i>box_name</i>"
config.ssh.insert_key = true</code></pre>

with

<pre></code>config.vm.box = "<i>test_box_name</i>"
config.vm.box = "<i>PathToBoxfile/Boxfilename</i>"
config.ssh.insert_key = true</code></pre>

Launch the image as usual.

Node: Vagrant will cache boxes, you can force Vagrant to reload your box by running vagrant box remove test_box_name before launching your new image.
