Instant Drupal
Vagrant and Puppet team up to spin up a brand new instance of a Drupal web server.
Use Virtual machines to isolate your development environment. Abstract project dependencies to the VMs and leave your host stable and productive.
Host Requirements
Virtual Box
VirtualBox is a virtualization software to provide the work horse of the virtual machine operations and isolation of environments and resources.
Vagrant
Vagrant is a virtualization utility to provide an easier to use command line interface that uses a configuration file to assist with how a virtual machine is built and set up.
Installation
Clone the repo into your home directory. Commands issued in this directory will be executed against the configuration and the VM that spawns from it.
git@github.com:waako/openatrium2-vagrant.git Now change into the newly created directory and issue the vagrant up commands
cd instantdrupal
vagrant upThe vagrant configuration file is set up to use a bridged network, meaning the VM will attach directly to your host's network. This is useful because now everyone on the network can send this machine HTTP requests.
But we don't know what that IP has been set to, we have to SSH into the machine and find out.
vagrant ssh
ifconfigYou'll see 3 network devices, but the second device is typically the public interface. It will have an address like 192.168 or 172.10.
Once you've obtained the IP, you can set up a local domain for it or just plug the IP into your browser.
Run through the Drupal Installation wizard and configure your new Drupal Web Server.
The default configurations for the database are...
