Micro Cloud Foundry Development QuickStart

Cloud Foundry (CF) is a platform for building, deploying, and running cloud applications, supporting spring, rails, and Sinatra, Node.js, and other JVM languages/frameworks, including groovy, Grails, and Scala. MCF (Micro Cloud Foundry) is a complete instance that can be installed on the local desktop and on the server. It runs on virtual machines on the developer's PC, providing flexibility for local deployments and making future deployments easier to implement.

To install MCF, first need to be on the official web (Https://cloudfoundry.com/micro.) Register and create an account

You will get a login password, confirm your account and download the disk image-so enter the mailbox must be valid.

After landing Cloudfoundry, you will see the following welcome interface:

Create a host and replicate DNS configuration, which you will need for a while. If you lose it, you can re-register a new one.

Below we can see that the cake and cakesolution hosts have been registered successfully and can be used.

Registration and DNS selection, click Finish

When we get here, we download the VMware disk image, which is a 1GB file, decompressed about 1.75GB, which has everything we need to install.

VMware mirroring is a 64-bit Ubuntu server and has preinstalled Cloudfoundry components.

Open VMware Workstation in my case fusion and select the client we want to use:

Windows users will need to extract the downloaded. tgz file and use software such as 7-zip.

If you are using an updated version of VMware, you will need to upgrade the disk image.

The startup process takes a few minutes, and then you'll see:

So everything is installed and running, but we need a little configuration. Fortunately, VMware has made the configuration process simple.

Select 1 and create a new password for your VM users

Option 1. DHCP

Add a previously recorded DNS configuration. This is for you to connect to CF from your VM, and we will be able to use the same URL as cake.cloudfoundry.me. ' Me ' is localhost/127.0.0.1.

There is also an agent information hint. If you are using an HTTP proxy, you need to add this information here.

It will take several minutes to start a variety of services.

Installation complete. You have completed the installation and operation of the MCF.
