Testing Vagrant Changes:

For testing the changes in the kubos-dev box, modify the Vagrantfile and provisioning scripts in the kubos-dev/ directory as needed.

You can rebuild the image to test locally by running the follow commands in the kubos-dev/ folder:

$ vagrant destroy

Followed by:

$ vagrant up

After building a new vagrant, run the following command to get inside of the newly created box:

$ vagrant ssh

You should now have an ssh session in the vagrant box. It is recommended to run through the CI tests, documentation generation, and basic hardware interaction to verify that the box is working correctly.

Building Vagrant Releases

The scripts for building and packaging a Vagrant box for release are found in the builder/ directory.

The main.py script will be used when creating a Vagrant release. It requires a version and an action.

Building a release based off local changes:

$ ./main.py -al [version]

Building a release off of master:

$ ./main.py -a [version]

Newly created releases will be found in the following location:

builder/[version]/kubos-dev/package.box
