devbox

Playground - try it before you buy it

• ubuntu

# comes with node 18.12.1
docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash viqueen/devbox:main

# mount it
docker run --name <name_it> --volume <target_dir>:/sources/<target_dir> \
    -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash \
    -w=/sources/<target_dir>  \
    viqueen/devbox:main

Setup and Configure

⚠️ this is heavily tailored towards bash, so may not work out of the (dev)box for zsh (zush) and friends

git clone --recursive https://github.com/viqueen/devbox.git

# required
./setup.sh config_box

# optional, to setup the prompt line
./setup.sh config_prompt

# optional, to setup vim
./setup.sh config_vim
git config --global core.editor vim

⚠️ to update the submodules

git submodule update --init --recursive

Optional - macOs dev setup

init_mac

# home_brew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.jenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(jenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc

# maven

Scripts and Binaries

tricks up this sleeve : from anywhere

• navigate to where devbox is installed

. dev

• open existing scripts for edit

dev edit
gitar edit

• create a new script in devbox

dev edit mynewscript

ℹ️ all these scripts source selfedit.sh which allows you to quickly step into edit mode (uses vim under the hood)

selfedit.sh also sources selfdoc.sh which allows you to add documentation hints to your commands

#! /usr/bin/env
source selfedit.sh

# @COMMAND one              does this and that
one() {
    echo "one"
}

# @COMMAND two              does these and those
two() {
    echo "two"
}

eval $@

if [[ -z $1 ]]; then
    $0 -h
fi

❌ but please note that not all scripts in devbox follow this pattern

housekeeping and generic scripts

dev -h          # mainframe
mvnup -h        # maven version upgrade
jsonf           # json pretty format
image -h        # docker things
gitar -h        # git things
saymyname       # finds the longest java class name in a directory , I was bored once so I wrote this

Atlassian scripts

• extracted to atlassian-devbox
• install using homebrew

brew tap viqueen/atlassian-devbox
brew install atlassian-devbox

• or install using npm

npm install -g atlassian-devbox

Elastic scripts

It comes with the following enterprise product scripts that behave exactly the same

search -h
entsearch -h
kibana -h
logstash -h
filebeat -h

While I sort out a smooth easy to start elastic stack locally with one script, I navigate to the elastic products I want by running the following

. search get 7.5.0
. entsearch get 7.5.0
. kibana get 7.5.0
. logstash get 7.5.0
. filebeat get 7.5.0

The above commands also take care of downloading the artifacts

⚠️ please notice the _distro() { echo "darwin-x86_64" } in elastic-product.sh, you probably want to adjust that to whatever distro you need for your platform.
