edx Production stack installation using Vagrant Virtualbox

Mark Hill edited this page Aug 21, 2014 · 18 revisions

These are installation instructions for the edX Production Stack using a Vagrant image and Virtualbox. For other Production Stack installation instructions, see here.

  • Install VirtualBox >= 4.3.12
  • Install Vagrant >= 1.5.3
  • Download the Vagrantfile and create the Vagrant instance:
mkdir fullstack
cd fullstack
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edx/configuration/master/vagrant/release/fullstack/Vagrantfile > Vagrantfile
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater
vagrant up
  • Note: The first time you create the virtual machine (VM) instance, Vagrant will download the base box, which is about 2GB. If you destroy and recreate the VM, Vagrant will re-use the box it downloaded.

Default username/password: vagrant/vagrant

Once the VM is running, you can access the LMS and Studio at these URLS:

The basic auth user and password are both set to "edx"

See edX-Managing-the-Production-Stack for how to manage and update the server once it is running
