View source for Firefox OS/Performance/Automating Datazilla Developer Setup

==Introduction==

Currently, getting a local instance of [http://datazilla.mozilla.org/b2g/ Datazilla] set up for development is non-trivial.  Vagrant and Docker could be used to automate the provisioning of a local Docker instance that is set up correctly for Datazilla hacking.

==Project Plan==
We have already gone through the process of setting up Vagrant to provision a development environment for our TreeHerder web app.  The documentation on how to install TreeHerder using Vagrant is [https://treeherder-service.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html here].  The TreeHerder Vagrant file is [https://github.com/mozilla/treeherder-service/blob/master/Vagrantfile here].

To be successful in this project, the following has to be accomplished:
# Build a base Vagrant file to provision a Docker instance running Ubuntu 13.04.  This will be used as the base for a number of other similar projects.
# Build upon the base Vangrant file to provision the Docker instance with the necessary prerequisites for running Datazilla.
# Add automation to the provisioning process to clone the [https://github.com/mozilla/datazilla/ Datazilla code] and to set up a local database with test data.
# Write an MDN article documenting how to use Vagrant to provision a Datazilla development environment.
