BoweFrankema / buddybox

A very simple Vagrant configuration to quickly start a new WordPress/BuddyPress local installation

BuddyBox

This is a fork of the excellent https://github.com/gau1991/easyengine-vagrant template. The goal is to create a Vagrant server powered by EasyEngine and compatible with BuddyPress.

Requirements / Getting the stuff you need

1. Start with any local operating system such as Mac OS X, Linux, or Windows.
2. Install VirtualBox 4.3.x
3. Install Vagrant 1.6.x
   • vagrant will now be available as a command in your terminal, try it out.
   • Note: If Vagrant is already installed, use vagrant -v to check the version. You may want to consider upgrading if a much older version is in use.
4. Install the vagrant-hostsupdater plugin with vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater
   • Note: This step is not a requirement, though it does make the process of starting up a virtual machine nicer by automating the entries needed in your local machine's hosts file to access the provisioned VVV domains in your browser.
   • If you choose not to install this plugin, a manual entry should be added to your local hosts file that looks like this: `192.168.33.10 buddy.box'

Lets Setup our BuddyBox!

1. First clone this git repository into a folder of your choice. this will be the root folder of all your local sites so choose a cool name (like buddybox for example!)

git clone https://github.com/BoweFrankema/buddybox.git

2. This should pull in all the files from this repo. Are you ready? Type the following to start the magic

vagrant up

Be patient because the installation might take a few minutes.

3. Once the installation is done point your browser to

http://buddy.box
