SciamLab standard ckan-vagrant

This is the vagrant setup and provisioning for a full fledged CKAN 2.7.3 or 2.8.0 setup on VirtualBox standard Ubuntu 16.xx LTS (Xenial) using recent software packages like PostgreSQL 10, PostGIS 2.4.4, SOLR 7.3.0 and many other goodies. The CKAN setup is finally deployed on an Apache2 using mod_wsgi.

This project is keept regurarly updated with recent CKAN version and related packages and tooling so that you can ramp-up quickly your dev environt without the hassle of resolving installation conflicts that tipically arise when playing with new stuff
