A Vagrant base box that closely mirrors the Celadon Cedar stack on heroku

This is a veewee template for building a Vagrant box that closely mirrors the heroku Cedar stack. You can build it yourself by following the directions below or install a prebuilt version from here.

Easy Install

Add the following to your Vagrantfile.

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  config.vm.box = "heroku"
  config.vm.box_url = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/rnc0p8zl91borei/heroku.box"
end

And run vagrant up. The box will be downloaded and imported for you.

This box was last updated 8/19/13. For the latest changes, please follow the instructions below.

Building From Scratch

First, clone the repo and install gems with bundler.

$ git clone https://github.com/ejholmes/vagrant-heroku.git
$ cd vagrant-heroku
$ bundle install

Next, build the box with veewee. Go grab a cup of coffee because this is gonna take a while.

$ bundle exec veewee vbox build heroku

There is also a 2x dyno box available, just substitute every instance of heroku with heroku-2x.

And finally, install the box for use with Vagrant.

$ bundle exec veewee vbox export heroku
$ vagrant box add heroku heroku.box

Now all you have to do is setup vagrant in your project.

$ vagrant init heroku
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
