It seems the Ubuntu base image we use now has a new enough VirtualBox
Guest Additions to trigger the ETXTBSY bug even when it’s not upgraded
by the vagrant-vbguest plugin. Provide and document a way to
downgrade it.

There are file sharing issues with the macOS 10.15.6 and
vagrant. var/remote_cache_prefix was an empty file when using
VirtualBox and Docker on macOS.
Using parallels as a provider for vagrant fixes the issue.
Use --watch-poll which makes webpack to recompile
automatically on file changes, since inotify is not
working here too.
This is important because the Hashicorp boxes are better designed, and
in particular, https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/boxes.html recommends
using the hashicorp boxes over the "ubuntu" namespace.
Reportedly the NFS synced folder type doesn’t work on macOS with the
Docker provider, while the default type does. And it seems likely
that four years of Ubuntu updates will have resolved the guest crashes
that motivated the prior switch to NFS.

This also means the default dev environment is now based on Ubuntu
18.04 (bionic), part of our overall effort to migrate off Ubuntu
Trusty.

Ubuntu 14.04 is EOL. Mac users can use the VirtualBox provider (and
now maybe the Docker provider?). We can add back the VMware Fusion
provider later if someone cares enough to get it working with Ubuntu
18.04.

This is a key part of our process to deprecate Ubuntu trusty: migrating
the Zulip development environment on macOS and Window to Ubuntu
Bionic.
As part of this, we need to remove ubuntu-server, because it now
depends on update-notifier-common.

An unnecessary log file gets generated when running vagrant up for the
first time with the Ubuntu Bionic box. This looks like it is being
caused upstream by the base box containing a Vagrantfile with a line
that looks something like:
vb.customize [ ..., ..., ..., ..., \
File.join(Dir.pwd, "ubuntu-bionic-18.04-cloudimg-console.log") ]
The line added here negates this.
Two variables were declared and assigned the respective values of the
default settings for the system. If the keyword is used in the
~/.zulip-vagrant-config file, the value is assigned to the variable.
There is no straightforward way to customize the virtual machine's
number of cpus or memory, this commit addresses that fact.
On OSX, the user id and group id don't match. So while the previous
code was always wrong, it produced incorrect output there. We can fix
this by replacing `whoami` with `id -g` for finding the current user's
group ID.
This commit fixes hot module replacement in webpack. To do this
we open port 9994 used by webpack to communicate between browser
and devserver. The attempts to forward the proxy from 9991 failed
so the last resort was to open up the webpack port.
It also removes an uncessary plugin in the webpack config and moves
the --hot flag to tools/webpack.
Trying to replace the string on newer versions of vagrant fails with a
'RuntimeError: can't modify frozen String' error. On newer versions of Vagrant,
the server URL is correct already.
Update version of Vagrant from 1.8.6 to 2.0.2.
Update version of VirtualBox from 5.1.8 to 5.2.6.
We needed to update Vagrant because older versions have networking
problems on modern Macs, resulting in weird `apt` errors when
provisioning.
Commit message and some text tweaked by tabbott.
This workaround is only for new users. Users who are/were using old
versions of Vagrant has to manually change the value of box
metadata_url. See https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/9442
This is intended to fix serious issues with frequent guest crashes on
OSX High Sierra with Virtualbox and the default file synchronization.
Note from Tim: We've tried this idea before, and it worked for Mac,
but caused problems for non-Mac users of our Vagrant setup that
resulted in it being reverted in
1432e9afb0.
Hopefully the new conditional will handle things correctly in both Mac
and Linux.
Before this commit, provisioning was done by executing provision.py,
which printed the log directly to stdout, making debugging harder.
This commit creates a wrapper bash script 'provision' in tools, which
calls 'zulip/scripts/tools/provision_vm.py' (the new location of
provision.py) and prints all the output to
'zulip/var/log/zulip/zulip_provision.log' via 'tee'.
Travis tests and docs have been modified accordingly.
This adds support for using VMWare Fusion as the Vagrant provider,
which has better performance than Virtualbox at the price of being
nonfree (in all senses of the term).
We haven't done solid benchmarking as to how much faster it is than
the Virtualbox provider.
