Yuvi has been working on a setup that allows using the wikimedia-vagrant puppet config on labs instances. This is AWESOME so I'm trying it out to wring out some of the bugs.

The Official Guide on wikitech is more up-to-date

HowTo

1. Login to wikitech
2. Create a new instance
   1. Go to wikitech:Special:NovaInstance
   2. Click 'Add instance'
   3. Click 'Labs Projectadmins > Manage Instances' in the left sidebar
   4. Name your instance (my-new-instance used as example below)
   5. The default values are probably good for everything else
   6. Click submit
   7. Refresh wikitech:Special:NovaInstance until you see "ACTIVE"
3. Make sure you can log in
   1. ssh my-new-instance.eqiad.wmflabs
4. Install labs-vagrant via ops-puppet role
   1. Actions > configure on right side of your instance's row on
   2. Enable role::labs::vagrant checkbox
   3. Submit
   4. ssh my-new-instance.eqiad.wmflabs
   5. sudo puppet agent --test --verbose
5. Use labs-vagrant to setup your wiki
   1. sudo labs-vagrant list-roles
   2. sudo labs-vagrant enable-role some-role-name
   3. sudo labs-vagrant provision
      • Get a cup of coffee or troll on irc while it runs for the first time :)
6. Go to Special:NovaProxy, click 'Add proxy' and enter a DNS hostname, say <hostname>
7. View your new wiki at http://<hostname>/wiki/
8. Profit!
