This is my tutorial of how to deploy cloud foundry using bosh-lite, as you may know there is a tutorial in the bosh-lite Readme file but there are some tiny step that the tutorial does not cover and I always forget and that is the reason why I'm writing my own.

git clone git@github.com:cloudfoundry/bosh-lite.git
cd bosh-lite
vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus
bundle
librarian-chef install
vagrant up
bosh target 192.168.50.4
./scripts/add-route
wget http://bosh-jenkins-gems-warden.s3.amazonaws.com/stemcells/latest-bosh-stemcell-warden.tgz
bosh upload stemcell latest-bosh-stemcell-warden.tgz

All the previous steps are explained in the bosh-lite tutorial. You can see the original tutorial here: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-lite

Now we are going to clone the cf-release repo that is a bosh release for cloudfoundry;

cd ..
git clone git@github.com:cloudfoundry/cf-release.git

and now we need to point our the release dir for bosh:

export CF_RELEASE_DIR=~/cloudfoundry/cf-release/

Now we can upload the latest cloud foundry release which at this moment is 145:

bosh upload release ../cf-release/releases/cf-145.yml
Uploading release
release.tgz:   100% |oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo|   1.1GB  53.3MB/s Time: 00:00:21
HTTP 500:

Oooops :( I got an error, I'm trying to find where the bosh packages are stored, doing little bit of research I found that bosh-lite use https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/blob/master/simple_blobstore_server simple_blobstore_server is a sinatra API that store.

Finally I restarted the Vm tried again and just worked:

bosh releases
------+----------+-------------+
| Name | Versions | Commit Hash |
+------+----------+-------------+
| cf   | 145      | 41733e43+   |
+------+----------+-------------+
(+) Uncommitted changes
Releases total: 1

So, we uploaded our bosh release cloud foundry, now we need a deploy manifest:

./scripts/make_manifest
bosh status
Config
             /home/gramos/.bosh_config
Director
  Name       Bosh Lite Director
  URL        https://192.168.50.4:25555
  Version    1.5.0.pre.1117 (3300587c)
  User       admin
  UUID       365eb26d-146e-4d12-888f-d9249dbef375
  CPI        warden
  dns        enabled (domain_name: bosh)
  compiled_package_cache enabled (provider: local)
  snapshots  disabled
Deployment
  Manifest   ~/cloudfoundry/bosh-lite/manifests/cf-manifest.yml

and run the deploy:

bosh deploy

You can see the vms created by bosh to check that the deploy worked:
