I didn't have the opportunity yet to test anything related to Oracle Fleet Patching and Provisioning but a BrokeDBA's tweet, made me realised I really should check it out:
Blog #20 💡🚀💡
— Kosseila.HD aka BrokeDBA 💾📀📡 (@BrokeDba) December 31, 2020
✅Try my Vagrant build fork of Oracle Fleet Patching and provisioning (FPP) .
✅ Deploy an FPP environment in one command on your laptop #virtuabox
✅Including few FPP scenarios to try
👉👉: https://t.co/6yFbsdv6pV#oracle #automation #FPP #vagrant #19c #12c
Since BrokeDBA forked the Official Vagrant git and added a couple of interesting scripts, I decided to try it out using my recent installed VirtualBox (but you can use Libvirt)
The first thing I needed to do is to test Vagrant with VirtualBox, so I decided to create a simple Oracle 8 Box:
|=| server in ~/Vagrant_VBox ○ → vagrant init oraclelinux/8 https://oracle.github.io/vagrant-projects/boxes/oraclelinux/8.json
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.
|=| server in ~/Vagrant_VBox ○ → vagrant up

|=| server in ~/Vagrant_VBox ○ → vagrant ssh

Let's try "BrokenDBA's FFP" now 😄
First, cloning the github and making sure we have the software ISOs (both 12.1 and 19c) located in the right place

I did a small change to ./config/vagrant.yml file, since the ASM disk Path is originally set to "C:\" and I'm using Linux. Needed also to change the default VirtualBox VMs base location to a bigger filesystem

By the way, the whole process can take very long depending on your system performance, but as long as the host1 (fpp-Server by default) is created, you can actually check the deployment process, like here where I wanted to confirm the GI installation in the server was progressing:
|=| server in /kvm/SDD/Vagrant_FPP/OracleFPP ± |master U:1 ?:8 ✗| → vagrant ssh host1

Like you see, as long as you have space, memory and Vagrant installed, there is nothing that stops you to try Oracle FPP.
I will try few more things on the coming days, so I hope to share more posts about Oracle FPP soon.
Thanks to BrokeDBA for sharing his experience!! 😊
