VirtualBox - csap-platform/csap-core GitHub Wiki

1. open virtualbox
   - create vm (machine)
   - 8Gb, 4cpu cores, (VDI) disk 32GB virtual disk
   - networking: NAT networking with port forwarding:  8011, 7011, 8080, 22 
   - storage - add iso as a cd
   - start VM
   - proceeds with OS install prompts
   > specifying root password(xxx)
   > select network: start the network and change hostname from localhost.domain to csap-01.csap.org
   	   > add csap-01.csap.org as a localhost alias to your local machine. typically /etc/hosts, or windows: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
   	   127.0.0.1       csap-01.csap.org csap-01
   > click done
   > select install destination - select 32gb VDI disk - click done
   > click begin installation
   > after completion: power off the machine: devices eject CD, restart

2. Start the VM

# open local terminal on your laptop
> ssh root@csap-01
> hostname --long; ip addr
# returns hostname and a valid network bind with UP state

# disable firewall: csap-agent runs on 8011, dockerd on 4243. For dev - generally more convenient to disable
systemctl mask firewalld.service; systemctl disable firewalld.service ;systemctl stop firewalld.service ; systemctl status firewalld.service
