VM for Ethereum smart contract development

on the basis of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ("Jammy Jellyfish") with pre-installed software e.g. Foundry + Hardhat (*) to get started straight away.

(* Hardhat needs a local installation within a project.)

See bootstrap.sh for software versions.

Get started

Download and install Vagrant for your system

➡️ https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads

Download and install Virtualbox for your system (because Vagrant relies on "providers")

➡️ https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/technologies/vm/downloads/virtualbox-downloads.html (or https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox)

    $ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-_VERSION_~Ubuntu~_PLATFORM.deb
    $ sudo apt-get install --fix-broken install

Prepare development environment

1. Clone this repo

   $ git clone git@github.com:Dakavon/foundry-vagrant-env.git

2. Go into the download folder and prepare development environment with

   $ cd foundry-vagrant-env
   $ vagrant up

3. Wait until it is finished :)

4. The Vagrant VM is now running. To shut it down, you can enter the following:

   $ vagrant halt

Run development environment

1. If you haven't already create a DAPPS folder within your users home folder, e.g. vua terminal

   $ mkdir ~/DAPPS

2. Open VM installation folder in a terminal

3. Start VM and log in

   $ vagrant up && vagrant ssh

4. Go to ~DAPPS folder inside the VM

   vagrant@devVM:~$  cd ~/DAPPS/

5. Clone project from _REPOSITORY_ to your DAPPS folder (likely from outside the VM due to public-key authentication)

   $ git clone git@github.com:_REPOSITORY_

   and go to _PROJECT_ folder inside the VM

   vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS$  cd _PROJECT_

   and e.g.

   • install dependencies via

     vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS$  npm install

   • or use hardhat within project through local installation

     vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS/_PROJECT_$   npm install --save-dev hardhat

6. Or set up a new _PROJECT_ with Foundry

   vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS$  mkdir _PROJECT_ && cd _PROJECT_

   vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS/_PROJECT_$  forge init _PROJECT_NAME_

   In case forge is not available, try

   vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS/_PROJECT_$  foundryup

Delete development environment

1. Go to the download folder and delete development environment with

   $ cd foundry-vagrant-env
   $ vagrant destroy
