1 Setting up Craft with Vagrant Jason McCallister

2 Why Vagrant? slide 2 of 757

3 Lots of reasons Just because. Matching development environments for production as well as working with remote teams. Ability to troubleshoot specific PHP version, or server, issues. Keep your host machine clean, the way it should be just kidding

4 The high level view PHP 5.4 PHP 5.6 Vagrant 2 GB Vagrant 4 GB MySQL MySQL Macbook Pro 16 GB RAM PHP 5.3 PHP 5.5 Vagrant 512 MB Vagrant 1 GB MySQL MySQL

5 Workflow, again high level most work is done here Vagrant 4 GB RAM - Web server Database server **Synced Files** Macbook Pro 16 GB RAM - Atom/Sublime Photoshop **Synced Files** Git Other tools

6 Vagrant files & basic commands

7 Commands vagrant init : creates a bare vagrant file vagrant up : bring up the VM vagrant suspend : suspend the VM vagrant halt : shutdown the VM vagrant status : show the VM status vagrant destroy : deletes the VM - bye bye.. These commands work FROM the vagrant directory only.

8 Basic Vagrantfile # -*- mode: ruby -*- # vi: set ft=ruby : # Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2" Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do config # Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of. config.vm.box = "base" # Create a private network, which allows host-only access to the machine # using a specific IP. config.vm.network "private_network", ip: " " config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do vb # Use VBoxManage to customize the VM. For example to change memory: vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "1024"] end

9 but don t I need to be a system admin for this? Yes, well no. If you wanted to build your own custom box - not machine - you would have to get your hands dirty. Because of the wonderful internet - there are options for those who just want it to work.

10 Option #1 : Puphpet Provides web based GUI to configure EVERYTHING - I mean everything. Choose between Apache or Nginx, linux distributions, PHP or Hack, MySQL, Mariadb, Postgres and more. You can even specify your web server sites in the GUI Slightly complex to add new virtual hosts (sites).

11 Option #2 : Vaprobash Vaprobash/ More for the DIY type of person. Vast amount of options based on the Vagrantfile and scripts. Excellent documentation on his website with custom tools to get started.

12 Vaprobash example Vagrantfile Uncomment what you want to install. vagrant up after you uncomment what you want and it auto installs. Easy to add more virtual hosts as needed.

13 Vaprobash example Vagrantfile Again, easy to install with ALOT of options. Databases: MySQL, MariaDB, Mongo, Postgres, Couch, Rethink and more. Web servers: Apache, Nginx with tools to setup hosts. Misc: Composer, Memcached, Redis, Nodejs and more.

14 Option #3 : Homestead homestead Preconfigured box - meaning no installation of PHP. Up in a matter of minutes. Tuned specifically for PHP development. Mirror copy of Forge hosting boxes. Is tuned for Laravel but Craft works flawless as well. Simple and nice documentation.

15 Homestead.yaml Easy to add additional virtual hosts and synced folders. Configuration is written in YAML - means easy to read and figure out Configured for SSH authentication. Tools (scripts) to add new virtual hosts included.

16 Homestead Docs Again, simple and easy to read. Tuned for PHP, Forge and works well with Craft. Not to sell Forge, if you want to learn more about Forge watch these for free: server-management-with-forge
