How to run OSM on Vagrant

Pre-built OSM vagrant images are available here: https://app.vagrantup.com/osm

1) Install vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com) and virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org/)

2) Create the initial Vagrantfile in a predefined directory of your choice:

 vagrant init osm/releasefour --box-version 4.0.1

3) Edit the generated Vagrantfile if you need to customize, for example, opened ports and assigned memory:

• If you would like to access the OSM Web client externally from the virtualbox VM, you can open up port 80 (mapped to 8080 at your host) by uncommenting this line:

 # config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

• By default the VM takes 6GB RAM, you can lower it down to 4GB (will work for minimal OSM installation), by uncommenting the corresponding section:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.memory = "4096"
end

4) Start OSM:

 vagrant up

5) ssh to OSM:

 vagrant ssh

6) Add the relevant environment variables for OSM client, either exporting them every time you access the shell, or copying the export lines to your .bashrc file:

export OSM_HOSTNAME=127.0.0.1
export OSM_SOL005=True

Additional notes:

• If at any time you need to change something from the Vagrantfile, you can apply the changes by reloading the VM:

vagrant reload

• If you need to copy a file to your vagrant machine, just run 'vagrant ssh-config' and copy the private key path, then:

scp -P 2222 -i /path/to/private_key someFileName.txt vagrant@127.0.0.1:

• The vagrant box file can also be downloaded manually:

 wget https://vagrantcloud.com/osm/boxes/releasefour/versions/4.0.1/providers/virtualbox.box

• If at any point you need to add the optional components (elk_stack, pm_stack...) you can do so by downloading the installer from inside your VM and executing it with the -o option, for example:

wget https://osm-download.etsi.org/ftp/osm-4.0-four/install_osm.sh
chmod +x install_osm.sh
./install_osm.sh -o pm_stack

• • Please note that you may need to add more forwarded ports, for example,. to access Grafana after adding the pm_stack, you would need to add a line like this one to your Vagrantfile, then run 'vagrant reload':

config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 3000, host: 3000
