Setting up single instance SM Platform in VirtualBox

Steps to get a working installation inside VirtualBox.

System and software requirements for the host machine:

• 16GB of system memory
• Ubuntu 16.04
• VirtualBox 5.0
• Vagrant 1.8
• Ansible 2.4

Installation

Should take about 10 minutes with a good internet connection.

• Install Vagrant and Ansible
• git clone -b rel-v0.8 https://github.com/METASPACE2020/sm-engine-ansible.git rel-v0.8 is the branch for installing the most recent version of SM Platform
• cd vbox/
• cp group_vars/all.yml.template group_vars/all.yml
• vagrant up
• ansible-playbook provision.yml
• ansible-playbook deploy.yml

Individual components can later be re-deployed by running ansible-playbook deploy.yml with appropriate --tags flag.

If you need to tweak provisioning:

• use --start-at-task flag to avoid wasting time on unrelated tasks
• re-run ansible-playbook deploy.yml after provisioning

You can test the installation by opening localhost:8999 in your browser and uploading a test dataset. First processing will take more time because of isotope pattern computation which has to be run for every database.

In case you encounter problems, login into the virtual machine:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -p 2222 ubuntu@localhost

Inside it you can run supervisorctl to see the list of running daemons (status command) and their logs (tail).
