integrate tripal into VM ?

There is also a vagrant project that produces VM for drupal.
Maybe we can consider do the same thing but for drupal https://github.com/geerlingguy/drupal-vm.

The install scripts we have written for docker might be helpful https://github.com/statonlab/docker-containers. they are from centos 7 so i dont know what problems will arise with 6.9 vs 7.

on attractive (to me) option is to plug the existing dockers into this VM.

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/docker/

So you would define the Tripal Docker, and the Apollo docker, as providers in this file.

I think there are many advantages to doing it this way. The container is more agile/easier to maintain. The Apollo and Tripal containers will continue to be updated, so we wont need to update this VM every time one of the above changes.

oops sorry, this is me not knowing anything about vagrant. Apparently you can't have multiple providers at the same time (ie this image from virtual box and the tripal site from docker).

FYI, https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/multi-machine/.

For defining multiple machines, vagrant also has a solution for that.
