tagd8-vagrant

A Vagrant virtual machine configuration and provisioner, for use as a test or development environment for Drupal applications.

NOTE this virtual machine should not be used in a production environment.

Usage

The Vagrant configuration and Puppet provisioning scripts are contained in the /private directory. Using the VM can be accomplished via the following steps:

• Install Vagrant.
• Copy the entire /private directory to the root directory of your Drupal codebase.
• Copy the /private/example.config.yml to /private/config.yml, and edit it with your preferred hostname and IP address.
• From the /private directory, run vagrant up. This will create and provision the VM.
• Run vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater to install a plugin to handle adding your host to /etc/hosts.
• Create or load your site database into the VM mysql server. For testing purposes the provisioner creates a user and database named vagrant.
• Connect to your new test site in your browser at the URL you've chosen.
• Your site code is mounted on the Vagrant VM in the /vagrant directory.

Bonuses

In the /private directory there is a folder for things to add to your docroot.

• tag_dev - A module that supplies customizable drush golocal, drush godev, and drush gotest commands. Feel free to add onto them for project specific reasons to make your development experience smoother.
• setup.sh - A basic site setup script that enables development modules after site install.
