Vagrant LEMP Stack

Description

Setup a LEMP dev environment using Vagrant and PuPHPet.

INSTALL/SETUP A BASIC LEMP STACK (LINUX, NGINX, MYSQL, PHP) ON Ubuntu Trusty 16.04 LTS x64

Requirements

  • VirtualBox (The official recommended Virtualbox version is 5.0.26!)
  • Vagrant (version 1.8.6 or newer)
  • abandon your old WAMP/MAMP environnement
  • some patience :)

Installation

Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/oussaka/lemp-stack.git
$ cd lemp-stack

Then, you should be able to use:

$ vagrant up

Once everything is done you can log into the virtual machine:

$ vagrant ssh

put your projects in www and go to http://local.dev

What's Inside

Installed software:

Information

  • Virtual Machine IP: 192.168.56.101
  • go to http://local.dev
  • PHP 5.6 installed
  • MySQL user/password: user/pass
  • node, npm (some useful packages: grunt, grunt-cli, yoeman, bower, express, gulp, ungit)

How do I update my hosts file?

You will need to open and edit your hosts file with a text editor like notepad, sublime_text, nano, etc. The location of the hosts file varies by operation system.

Windows users could look here: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Linux and Mac OSX users could look here: /etc/hosts.

Example Entry:

192.168.56.101 local.dev www.local.dev

Virtual Machine Management

When done just log out with ^D and suspend the virtual machine

$ vagrant suspend

then, resume to hack again

$ vagrant resume

run

$ vagrant halt

to shutdown the virtual machine, and

$ vagrant up

to boot it again.

You can find out the state of a virtual machine anytime by invoking

$ vagrant status

You can run your own custom code after the VM finishes provisioning by adding files to the puphpet/files/exec-always, puphpet/files/exec-once, puphpet/files/startup-always, and puphpet/files/startup-once folders.

Finally, to completely wipe the virtual machine from the disk destroying all its contents:

$ vagrant destroy # DANGER: all is gone
