#How to Install the Tatoeba Web App on a Virtual Machine

* Grab the vm file http://mirrors.bouah.net/pub/tatoeba/Tatovm/

* Untar the file:

 on windows: use 7zip [http://www.7-zip.org/]

 on linux: use file-roller or from the terminal:

   tar -xvf vmfile

 * Get and install virtual box [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads]

 * Load the vm files in virtualbox:

   from the GUI: Machine -> Add then browse to the location of the .vbox file

   from the commandline: VBoxManage registervm /path/to/vm.vbox

 * The default http port is 8080 and the default ssh port is 4242

 * To ssh into the machine use the username tatoeba and password tatoeba:

    ssh -p 4242 tatoeba@127.0.0.1

 * Now you can see the website running in your browser, just point it to the following address:

   127.0.0.1:8080

 * The mysql user is root and password is tatoeba in case you need to do operations directly on the table or import more data

 * To hack the codebase in your favorite editor in the comfort of your host computer there's 3 ways:

   * Mount a drive over ssh:

     * on windows: download netdrive [www.netdrive.net] and use the aforementioned credentials and port

     * on linux: install sshfs and then mount it using:

       sshfs tatoeba@127.0.0.1:4242 /path/to/mountpoint

   * Mount a drive over webdav:

     * on windows: use netdrive, the user and password is tatoeba the port is 8080

     * on linux: use your favorite file manager with webdav support, or install cadaver and connect using the above credentials

   * Mount a shared file (slow and not recommended):

     * Setup Guest additions [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/GuestAdditions]

     * In the GUI select Devices -> Shared Folders -> Add

     * browse to the folder you want to share from your host and select it

     * Select the Make permanent option

     * Now mount the shared file on the guest system:

       mount -t vboxfs /media/sharefoldername /path/to/mountpoint

* You can also install a graphical environment (gnome or any other DE) to work directly from the vm:

  apt-get install task-gnome-desktop

* Make sure your codebase is up to date before coding anything with:

  cd ~/tatoeba-www

  svn update

* After you have hacked the code enough and would want to update the main repository do the following:

  * make sure your config files aren't being commited:

    svn ingore config/* 

  * make sure you're still up to date then commit your changes:

    svn update

    svn commit
