Vagrant VM

How does the Vagrant VM work?​

After the virtual data center setup completes there will be a small virtual rack of servers, including an exit node, a spine leaf network, and 5 virtual machines (VM) that are waiting to be turned on and auto-enrolled with Colony.

The first part of the install is a setup that puts you on a VM “laptop” to match the experience of using Colony in a data center.

Your VM “laptop” is loaded with tools like:

  • Colony CLI
  • Docker
  • Helm
  • K3d
  • kubectl - We add an alias for this
  • kubens
  • Tinkerbell (Tinkerbell stack)

If you're curious about all of the tools we install, check out the repository details in the setup here.
