Craft 3 - Vagrant Homestead

Have Vagrant and VirtualBox installed on your machine.

Vagrant https://www.vagrantup.com/
VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Note!

You can follow the instructions bellow or clone this repo and just run vagrant up.

Take a look at after.sh it will do all the server set up there. If you need to configure php.ini you can add that to after.sh.

Before you vagrant up open up Homestead.yaml and replace folders:map to your own user path directory where you are running the vagrant command from.

Setup Vagrant + Homestead

Run mkdir craft3 (or whatever you want to call it) in your development directory, then cd craft3
Run composer require laravel/homestead --dev
Run php vendor/bin/homestead make
Open Homestead.yaml,
- Update sites:map to craft3.dev
- Update sites:to to /home/vagrant/craft3/craft3/web
- Update databases: to craft3
Run vagrant up (will take some time if you didn't have box installed before)

Setup Server

Run vagrant ssh
We need to update our box so run sudo apt-get update and after that run sudo apt-get upgrade
We need to install mcrypt so run sudo apt-get install mcrypt php7.1-mcrypt
We need to update mysql file, run echo -e '[mysqld] sql_mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION' | sudo tee --append /etc/mysql/my.cnf > /dev/null
Restart your mysql with sudo service mysql restart

Setup Craft 3

Still while in your server (vagrant ssh)

Run cd /vagrant
Run composer create-project craftcms/craft craft3 -s beta

Now back to your machine (not virtual box) you will need to update host file /etc/hosts add this line 192.168.10.10 craft3.dev and save. Point your browser to http://craft3.dev!

Install Craft 3

Inside your cd craft3 folder is another cd craft3 folder. Open .env and update your db configs
- DB_USER to homestead
- DB_PASSWORD to secret
- DB_DATABASE to craft3
Now go to http://craft3.dev/admin and go through setup wizard.
