Installs DurableDrupalDistro Distro

Ansible playbook for setting up a VM on your laptop or local workstation using Vagrant and VirtualBox for use with a Platform.sh project. Installs Platform.sh CLI and all dependencies, and creates a database and editable virtual host to run your project locally.

Once vagrant up is run (down below) provisioning has installed CLI, and you are all set to platform and project:get your project from platform.sh, and you can build it locally with the following virutalhost and database:

virtualhost

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName platformshvk.dev
    ServerAlias www.platformshvk.dev
    DocumentRoot /var/www/platformsh-vk-dev
    <Directory "/var/www/platformsh-vk-dev">
        Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Database

$databases = array (
  'default' =>
  array (
    'default' =>
    array (
      'database' => 'platformshvk',
      'username' => 'root',
      'password' => '',
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'port' => '',
      'driver' => 'mysql',
      'prefix' => '',
    ),
  ),
);

These valaues are editable, see the playbook subdir

You can associate the URL with the IP specified in the Vagrantfile in your /etc/hosts file.

General Instructions

Use Jeff Geerling's Ansible for DevOps Drupal Quick Start Guide upon which this playbook is based.

  • Install VirtualBox and Vagrant (make sure Vagrant is version 1.6.5 or later)
  • Install Ansible
  • Clone this project to a folder where you keep your VMs
  • On the cammand-line in that folder, type vagrant up
  • The process will take a while, on my 4GB RAM MacBook Pro it took about 5 minutes. A large part of that is the provisioning of the LAMP stack together with the checking out and installation of drush and DurableDrupalDistro.
  • Associate http://platformshvk.dev with the private local machine ip set up by the Vagrantfile (192.168.19.46).
  • Point your browser at http://platformshvk.dev after editing virtual host for the docroot of your project.

The vagrant init was originally done with: $ vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64

Which created a new vagrant file based on the latest ubuntu image (see Vagrant & Ansible Quickstart Tutorial below)
