Try Yii2 with Vagrant VM + Ansible provisioning

Tested on Ubuntu Linux host machine. But should work on Windows host too as Ansible is being installed on VM, not on Host.

Out of the box...

Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit ( + bulk of system soft like mc, curl, etc.)
PHP-FPM 5.5 ( + modules intl, gd, xdebug etc.)
Nginx 1.6
MySQL 5.5
Composer
phpMyAdmin 4.0
Adminer 4.1.0
Redis 2.8 ( + PhpRedis)
MongoDB 2.6.1 ( + php_mongo)
PostgreSQL 9.3
Sqlite 2.8.17
Memcached 1.4.14 ( + php5_memcached)
Imported Sakila DB for playing around
And of course Yii2 Advanced Project template imported
Local IP loop on Host machine /etc/hosts and Virtual hosts in Nginx already set up too !

Quick start

Install

Virtualbox 4.3+ + VirtualBox Extension Pack
Vagrant 1.6+ additional Vagrant modules (optional, but provide full automation) :
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater vagrant-vbguest vagrant-cachier

You don't need to have Ansible installed on host machine. It will be installed on VM and self-provisioning will be launched. So it is possible to run everything on Windows machine.

RUN

Clone this sources from Git
Run vagrant up.
It will start VM creation and Provisioning. Could take some time 15-30 min... Drink coffee and get back for complete virtual server with Yi2 project ready for play !

PLAY

Ok, now if everything went fine you can access these Urls in your browser

http://yii2.local/ - frontend app
http://admin.yii2.local/ - backend app
http://phpmyadmin.yii2.local/ - phpMyAdmin
http://adminer.yii2.local/ - Adminer (Lightweight and simple GUI manager for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, SimpleDB, Elasticsearch and MongoDB)
Gii code generator should be called like this http://yii2.local/index.php?r=gii

Note : These local domains .local will be available on your host machine only if hosts file was modified correctly. It should be done automatically by vagrant-hostsupdater plugin. But if url http://yii2.local/ or other is not found by your browser - make sure your hosts file contain correct assignment of VM IP and local domains:
It should have such lines :

192.168.33.33 yii2.local
192.168.33.33 admin.yii2.local
192.168.33.33 phpmyadmin.yii2.local
192.168.33.33 adminer.yii2.local

File location. On Linux /etc/hosts. On Windows %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Let's make something

Input there ...  
Table Name : actor  
Model Class : Actor  
Namespace : frontend\models

Press - Preview and then Generate

Go to CRUD Generator

Input there ...  
Model Class : frontend\models\Actor  
Search Model Class : frontend\models\ActorSearch  
Controller Class : frontend\controllers\ActorController

Press - Preview and then Generate

And now your Actor CRUD page is generated. You can access it here http://yii2.local/index.php?r=actor
Continue playing with other Models, modify code (on your host machine in folder .../try-yii2/yii2-app-advanced) make relations between Models etc. Whatever you wish!

Getting deeper ...

In try-yii2 folder run vagrant ssh to access virtual dev server via SSH. You can modify and setup additionally anything you want.
Or modify Ansible provisioning YML files (if you are familiar with it) and run vagrant provision to update server config (WARNING! I can't guarantee that your changes will not be overwritten!)

TODO :

Complete Ansible provisioning scripts for all software stack Yii2 works out of the box
