Development Environment

The purpose of this environment is to ease the development process. We preconfigured a Virtual Machine just for you. The only thing you have to do is to install the requirements and the deployment will be done with only one command. Of course, using this development environment is by no means mandatory.

Requirements

• Vagrant
• Ansible

Getting started

Install

• Install the requirements
• Clone the project and go inside the project folder with your console
• Start the Vagrant VM: vagrant up

If the provision fails, you can try to run ad hoc Ansible commands with a greater verbosity:

ansible-playbook -i .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/action_provision --private-key=~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key -u vagrant ansible/playbook.yml -vvvv

Usage

• HTTP access: localhost:8080
• SSH access: vagrant ssh
• MySQL access:
  • user : root
  • no password
  • remote access: specify 127.0.0.1 as host (port 3307) (requires MySQL client)
• redis access:
  • remote access allowed (requires redis client)
  • host: 127.0.0.1
  • port: 6379

If you wish to reload configuration: vagrant provision

If you need to execute a root command, you can either use sudo or login as root the root user with su (password: vagrant).

If you wish to change the port used because they overlap with already used ports or whatever your reason is, check the configuration in the Vagrantfile.

Default configuration

The VM container is configured via Ansible:

• Latest version of Jessie (Debian 8)
• Wget & cURL
• nginx
• Git

PHP Environment:

• PHP5.6
• PHP CLI
• PHP5 FPM
• Pear
• Composer
• Mcrypt
• Xdebug
• PsySH

Databases:

• Redis
• MySQL

Git:

• Aliases
• Default push method set to current
• Global gitignore preconfigured to ignore linux, intelliJ, NetBeans and Eclipse files
• For more: git config --global --list

Shell aliases: run alias to see the available aliases.

Known bugs

It is possible that the update of the system and the composer install takes very long. For the later, you can drop the task and run it manually it usually takes less time and at least you have an idea of the progress. If you do so, you will have to run manually the tasks which have been configured after this command. Hopefully, it is just creating the database or updating it ;)
