This repo serves as a base LAMP box managed by Vagrant, Puppet, and Hiera. It is very minimal, and only provides the essentials required for a PHP environment. Here's what's inside;
- PHP (Latest available version)
- Composer
- Pear
- PHPunit
- Extensions
- Mysql
- Curl
- Intl
- gd
- FPM
- Apache
- Rewrite
- Fastcgi
- actions
- MySQL
- All default dettings
It's become common for each project to have its own development environment. I wanted to create something that I could use to minimize the amount of boilerplate required to get a baseline LAMP setup running. You can drop this repo into the root of your project and have a solid, functional, and flexible server running in minutes.
You'll need to have Ruby installed. It comes bundled with most Unixy operating systems.
This repo utalizes Librarian Puppet - a module manager for Puppet.
Like any module/package manager, it allows you to keep your vendor files separated from your own code while also
giving you the ability to lock down version dependencies. You'll need to install it before you can use this repo: gem install librarian-puppet
Once you've downloaded the project, place it in a folder in your project root (this is obviously not required, but
it's how I like to do things). In your CLI, make sure you're in the same directory as the Vagrantfile, and run this
command: librarian-puppet install. This will install the required Puppet modules. Once that's finished, run vagrant up.
The box is configured to automatically sync the directory above the Vagrantfile to /var/www. You can can change it in the Vagrantfile.
You can run vagrant ssh to quickly log into the machine. If you're trying to do something specific, check the Vagrant docs for more information.
Virtual hosts are defined in the apache manifest located at /manifests/apache.pp. You can copy and paste the example to create the vhosts that you need. Just change 'example.dev' and the docroot to whatever you like.
To connect to vhosts in your browser, you'll need to add an entry to your hosts file.
