Comment (by iwakeh):

 Yeah, java 7, finally :-)

 I verified the vagrant installation (from the task-12881 branch), and
 everything works
 running on java 7 without any manual intervention.

 Using vagrant is really nice for testing, still, i have some concerns
 regarding the setup (Potential new contributors might have similar
 concerns.):
 Why replay the debian setup again and again?
 The current third party image is not tailored to Onionoo/Tor, is it?
 Why does Onionoo need the puppet packages? Is puppetlabs.com in any
 affiliated with Tor?

 I would find it really helpful to download an Onionoo test-vbox from
 the Tor project, readily equipped with everything that's needed. And,
 with some way of verifying that it is 'kosher'.
 This would enable everyone to test with the ''same'' machine.

 You have such a standard box anyway, it should be easy to make it
 available.
 Updates could be announced in the client development mailing list.

 (Actually, clients should use such a box for testing there clients before
 they
 run against the Onionoo server?)
