# Vagrant Consul Demo
|
|
|
|
This demo provides a very simple `Vagrantfile` that creates two Consul
|
|
server nodes, one at *172.20.20.10* and another at *172.20.20.11*. Both are
|
|
running a standard Debian * distribution, and *the latest version* of Consul
|
|
is pre-installed.
|
|
|
|
To get started, you can start the nodes by just doing:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vagrant up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: If you prefer a different Vagrant box, you can set the `DEMO_BOX_NAME`
|
|
> environment variable before starting `vagrant` like this:
|
|
> `DEMO_BOX_NAME="ubuntu/xenial64" vagrant up`
|
|
|
|
Once it is finished, you should be able to see the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vagrant status
|
|
Current machine states:
|
|
|
|
n1 running (virtualbox)
|
|
n2 running (virtualbox)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At this point the two nodes are running and you can SSH in to play with them:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vagrant ssh n1
|
|
consul version
|
|
Consul v0.7.5
|
|
Protocol 2 spoken by default, understands 2 to 3 (agent will automatically use protocol >2 when speaking to compatible agents)
|
|
exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vagrant ssh n2
|
|
consul version
|
|
Consul v0.7.5
|
|
Protocol 2 spoken by default, understands 2 to 3 (agent will automatically use protocol >2 when speaking to compatible agents)
|
|
exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: This demo will query the HashiCorp Checkpoint service to determine
|
|
> the the latest Consul release version and install that version by default,
|
|
> but if you need a different Consul version, set the `CONSUL_DEMO_VERSION`
|
|
> environment variable before `vagrant up` like this:
|
|
> `CONSUL_DEMO_VERSION=0.6.4 vagrant up`
|
|
|
|
