How to configure pivotal cloud foundry onperm/laptop

If you have trial limitation with pcf trial account and you are not able to host anything due to resource constraints

you can configure the pivotal onperm single node virtual machine using the pcfdev.

Prerequisites 

Windows laptop 8 Gb ram and Virtual box 5.2 and  pcfdev plugin download from pivotal

make sure you get 30 version , lot of bugs are fixed in it. also cf cli is required

Now go to folder where pcfdev downloaded extracted // do not run pcfdev on a VM else it wont work

and run the powershell in admin mode before starting dev 

cf install-plugin cfdev

cf dev start // it will take ages like an hour or so let all services run 

if all is well you should see 58 of 58 services started , hello message else break your head 

cf dev ssh will land you inside the machine , it will provision in VB 

To debug ssh to dev using cf dev ssh -- /var/vcap/monit folder and sudo tail the monit.log 

also you can grep the drain and other libraries in the /var/pcfdev/run.log

check here  /var/vcap/sys/log/syslog_drain_binder/syslog_drain_binder.log

admin/admin is the cred to login to the api end point 

cf login -a  api.local.pcfdev.io  --skip-ssl-validation // user and pass should work .. 

you will be able to see org/quota/space 

cf create-space myspace -o orgname

cf target -s myspace

now push

create a space and push you app by cf push -f manifest.yml 

sample manifest.yml 

applications:  - name: fixserver    memory: 1024M    buildpack: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack.git    path: server.jar    hostname: fixserver    health-check-type: process  

health check type of process will help your app to boot atleast else it will check that port 

and mark your app as failure.

It should push you app to pcf cloud , now you can login to dash of pcf and see the logs 

also from command line 

cf logs fixserver // you can also ssh to app container by cf ssh appname

docker push appname --docker-image url  from hub

cf enable-feature-flag diego_docker
