Consul Example Cluster

This project allows you to setup a Vagrant based Consul cluster on your local machine and to explore how Consul works.

Requirements

To setup this example project you need the following tools on you machine:

• Packer
• Vagrant
• curl

Packer is used to create a specialised Vagrant box to speed up the provisioning of the virtual machines.
Vagrant is used to run the virtual machines the Consul cluster consists of.
curl is used to fetch all required Consul artifacts from the Internet.

Please ensure that all three tools have been installed on your machine before you continue.

Compatiblity

The setup of the Consul cluster has been tested only on Apple OS X.

Setup of the example cluster

1. Package Ubuntu 14.04.1 for Vagrant as described in the readme.md of the directory packaging.
2. Start the Consul cluster as described in the readme.md of the directory vagrant.
