== Open questions == | |||
TBD: Should this be in an etherpad? | |||
* Image generation by hand or by machine? | |||
** Starting by hand early to iron out process | |||
*** Need to remember to update images on a regular basis | |||
** Switch to Jenkins or something else for nightly builds | |||
*** How would this work? Seems resource intensive | |||
* Vagrantfile as part of project, or separate repo? | |||
** MDN includes Vagrantfile in the main project. | |||
*** https://github.com/mozilla/kuma/blob/master/Vagrantfile | |||
** Socorro has a separate socorro-vagrant project. | |||
*** https://github.com/rhelmer/socorro-vagrant | |||
** Probably only matters to the person or process generating the VM image | |||
*** Since we should take care of that rather than demanding contributor to do a full <code>vagrant up</code> | |||

** | ** Better if the source for the project were <code>git clone</code>'ed inside the VM and shipped along with the image? | ||
*** <code> | *** No more shared folder from host to VM. | ||
** | *** Would need to install Samba inside VM to edit code from host. | ||
*** Need to configure and use <code>git</code> or <code>svn</code> inside VM | |||
*** Need instructions advising a <code>git pull</code> after initial boot-up | |||
