10. Let’s get you up and running…
•
“I just use MAMP, it’s brilliant”
•
“Tell me what you need and I’ll make a VM”
•
“My VPS runs a custom compiled LAMP setup”
•
“A server, what do I need that for?”
23. “A tool for creating,
managing and distributing
portable development
environments”
- Mitchell Hashimoto (creator of Vagrant)
24. What is Vagrant?
•
Command line tool
•
Creates virtual machines
•
Handles networking and shared folders
•
Supports provisioning
25. What problems does it solve?
•
Repeatable & verifiably correct
•
Isolated
•
Understandable
•
As fast as possible
26. What problems does it solve?
•
Works on Mac, Windows and Linux
•
Works with VirtualBox, VMware and many more
27. How does it work then?
It’s magic, it really is…
28. “Vagrant reads a
Vagrantfile and builds a
virtual machine based on
a template called a box”
- Mitchell Hashimoto (creator of Vagrant)
29. Vagrantfile
“The primary function of the
Vagrantfile is to describe the type
of machine required for a project,
and how to configure and
provision these machines.”
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vagrantfile/index.html
32. Boxes
“Boxes are the skeleton from
which Vagrant machines are
constructed. They are portable
files which can be used by others
on any platform that runs Vagrant
to bring up a working
environment.”
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/boxes.html
35. Provisioning
“Provisioners in Vagrant allow you
to automatically install software,
alter configurations, and more on
the machine as part of the vagrant
up process.”
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/index.html
38. Providers
“While Vagrant ships out of the
box with support for VirtualBox,
Vagrant has the ability to manage
other types of machines as well.
This is done by using other
providers with Vagrant.”
https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/providers/index.html
49. The vagrant up command
•
Check if the box is already downloaded
•
If not, download the box
•
Start the VM
•
Set up synced folders
•
Set up networking
•
Start provisioning
50. Your new VM is ready
vagrant ssh
vagrant halt
vagrant destroy
51. Your new VM is ready
•
Some examples of what ‘ready’ means:
•
Nginx installed
•
PHP installed
•
MySQL installed
•
WordPress installed
•
Database imported
•
wp-config.php file set up
53. Vagrantfile in version control
•
Commit your Vagrantfile
•
Share it with all developers
•
Commit a change, all developers benefit
54. Share the provisioning
•
Provisioning files into version control as well
•
Production server shares the provisioning files
•
•
Use parameters/flags for differences
Change one, all environments will change
58. Multiple PHP version testing
•
One Vagrantfile
•
Multiple machines
•
Different PHP versions
•
One shared set of files
•
One database

61. Vagrant has great documentation
•
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/
•
Plenty of examples
•
Great pointers to providers and provision resources
•
Vagrant is the latest trend
63. Varying Vagrant Vagrants
•
https://github.com/10up/varying-vagrant-vagrants
•
Ready to use Vagrant setup
•
Really easy to expand
•
Quickly launch new local development websites
•
Automatically installs: WP-CLI, Nginx, MySQL, PHPFPM, Memcache, Xdebug, Imagemagick, PHPunit,
Composer, NodeJS, Grunt, WebGrind and much,
much more, all on one Ubuntu 12.04 VM.
