Vagrant PHP Development Box

Looking for PR :)!!!

I had no more time to keep the box updated, so the build is broken!

You can still run it against Vagrant 1.x, however could be a good idea to upgrade it. Would you like to maintain this project? Feel free to send me a PR!

Project Overview

A Vagrant project which aims you to get a feature rich PHP development box (VM). It provides a quite good number of tools and libraries, including those related to the latest technologies. The box is based on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 built using veewee and provisioned by Vagrant via Chef.

Applications and libraries

  • Apache 2, node.js
  • PHP (5.4), Composer, PHPUnit, xDebug
  • MySQL, Memcached, MongoDB (10gen), SQLite
  • NFS, GhostScript, ImageMagick, Vim, Ruby (Gems: Compass, Less, SASS)

Usage

  1. Install VirtualBox and Vagrant.

  2. Open a Terminal, cd to your working directory, clone the project:

    git clone git://github.com/morafabio/vagrant-php-development-box.git

  3. Edit the Vagrantfile.sample and customize it as you need. Save it as Vagrantfile.

  4. Run vagrant up to provision it, should take a few minutes.

  5. (If you want to get a shell type vagrant ssh).

Default parameters

VM IP:              33.33.33.10
System user:        vagrant
System password:    vagrant
MySQL user:         root
MySQL password:     root
xDebug Remote:      33.33.33.1

Configure your projects

  1. You can add multiple projects and mountpoints editing Vagrantfile. Look for web_apps definition.

Here's the outline:

"host_project_folder"  host side, where your project resides
"guest_project_folder" vm side, where host_project_folder is mounted on via vboxsf
"guest_docroot"        vm side, the Apache2 docroot
"server_name"          Apache2: ServerName
"server_aliases"       Apache2: ServerAlias
"php_timezone"         php.ini project's timezone

And an example:

web_apps = {
  "site1" => {
    "host_project_folder"  => "../web-app-1/",
    "guest_project_folder" => "/home/vagrant/web-app-1",
    "guest_docroot"        => "/home/vagrant/web-app-1/web",
    "server_name"          => "webapp1.test.local",
    "server_aliases"       => ["*.webapp1"],
    "php_timezone"         => "Europe/Rome"
  },
  "site2" => {
    "host_project_folder"  => "../web-app-2/",
    "guest_project_folder" => "/home/vagrant/web-app-2",
    "guest_docroot"        => "/home/vagrant/web-app-2/web",
    "server_name"          => "webapp2.test.local",
    "server_aliases"       => [],
    "php_timezone"         => "America/New_York"
  }
}
  1. Run vagrant provision.

To Do

  • [!!!] Fix the box in order to run the latest Vagrant stable version.
  • [!!] Update the Linux basebox with a fresh veewee generation.
  • [!!] Update recipes.
  • Reorganize the chef cookbook provisioning strategy, in order to get the latest recipes version.
  • A CentOS version and a 32 bit edition: make the base box compatibile with other O.S...?
  • VirtualBox Guest Additions should be easily upgradable.
  • Workaround the vboxsf [cache bug] (https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=33201)
