The Gbib is a ubuntu 13 linux with apache, mysql and the default tools. See [[Preparing_VirtualBox_images]]

Hgwdev has virtualbox installed and two virtual machines added: browserbox and browserbox-dev. Browserbox-dev can be used for development of box-specific patches. browserbox is the "master" image of the gbib.
 
browserbox listens at port 1234 for web requests and at 1235 for ssh. browserbox-dev listens at 1236 for web requests and at 1237 for ssh.
 
== SSH ==
qateam has these entries in their .ssh/config:
 
  Host devbox
  Hostname localhost
  Port 1237
  User browser
 
  Host box
  Hostname localhost
  Port 1235
  User browser
 
So you can do "ssh box" or "ssh devbox" on hgwdev to connect to the boxes.
 
There is no password, because the qateam ssh key was added to both boxes (see qateam's "scpdsa" command)
 
== Connecting to the boxes from your desktop machine ==
 
browserbox and browserbox-dev both accept only connections from hgwdev, not from outside. You cannot connect from your desktop machine to any box. So ssh on your desktop has to be told to forward a few ports to hgwdev. Once you start ssh, it will listen to some ports on your machine, all data gets tunneled through the ssh connection and appears on hgwdev on the localhost interface, where hgwdev will forward it to the browserbox. To make this happen, add this to your file ~/.ssh/config on your own OSX or linux machine:
 
  Host devtunnel
  Hostname hgwdev.sdsc.edu
  User <YOURHGWDEVUSER e.g. rhead>
  LocalForward 127.0.0.1:1234 127.0.0.1:1234
  LocalForward 127.0.0.1:1236 127.0.0.1:1236
 
You can then do a "ssh devtunnel" to get connected to hgwdev and have the ports on your machine 1234 and 1236 forwarded to the boxes.
