Use vagrant and docker to quickly start a riak server. Supports virtualbox and vmware_fusion providers

README.md

Usage

cd /path/to/this/gist
vagrant up --provision

After the virtual machine has started up and finished provisioning, open a web browser to http://localhost:8098 to confirm that riak is running.

Enable search

By default riak buckets do not support search indexing. To enable search on a bucket foo, execute the following

BUCKET="foo"
URL="http://localhost:8098/riak/$BUCKET"
DATA='{"props":{"precommit":[{"mod":"riak_search_kv_hook","fun":"precommit"}]}}'
curl --silent -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X PUT -d "$DATA" $URL
echo "enabled search on bucket: $BUCKET"
