[Multipass](https://multipass.run) is a tool for easily setting up Ubuntu VMs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
|
|
Similar to Docker, Multipass works through a CLI. To use, clone this repo and then create a new Multipass VM.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/libretime/libretime.git
|
|
cd libretime
|
|
multipass launch bionic -n ltTEST --cloud-init cloud-init.yaml
|
|
multipass shell ltTEST
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Multipass isn't currently able to do an automated install from the cloud-init script.
|
|
After you enter the shell for the first time, you will still need to run the install script for LibreTime.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd /libretime
|
|
sudo bash install -fiap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The IP address of your new VM can be found by running `multipass list`. Copy and paste it into your web browser to access the LibreTime interface and complete the setup wizard.
|
|
|
|
You can stop the VM with `multipass stop ltTEST` and restart with `multipass start ltTEST`.
|
|
If you want to delete the image and start again, run `multipass delete ltTEST && multipass purge`.
|
|
|
|
### Cloud-init options in cloud-init.yaml
|
|
|
|
You may wish to change the below fields as per your location.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
timezone: America/New York # change as needed
|
|
ntp:
|
|
pools: ['north-america.pool.ntp.org']
|
|
servers: ['0.north-america.pool.ntp.org', '0.pool.ntp.org']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are running your forked repo of LibreTime for testing purposes,
|
|
modify the URL on this line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- cd / && git clone https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime.git
|
|
```
