An opinionated 'Isolated' Development Environment using Vagrant
Automatically constructs an isolated development environment that automatically provisions software tools required for developing a software application.
This project samples a very respectable development environment with common software.
The benefits of an 'isolated' development environment is many:
- No more of the classic "Only works on my machine" problem
- Easily spin up a full dev environment just by one command, likewise to teardown
- The environment would be very similar/pretty-much identical to what it would be like in production
- Every developer in the software team/works on same project can develop using the same infrastructure
Provisioning
Vagrant backed development environment uses Virtual Machine on VirtualBox platform. Contains following software installed:
- Java 7
- Git & GitList as a Repository Viewer
- Maven
- MySQL
- NGINX
- Apache Tomcat7
- Apache Web Server
note
Do note that this is not a full complete example of a working dev environment because every project is different with not the same software required. This is just an example 'template' that serves a ready made initial dev environment which one can use as a starting point to configure and modify where necessary on top of.
