Torch
Lightweight LAMP vagrant box mainly intended for web development using Laravel
Torch is lightweight Vagrant box (below 500MB) based on Ubuntu server, with PHP and Apache as a HTTP server. It was initially created for in-house development. After many hours using it, we decided - why not share it publicly. Hope some of you will find it useful.
Requirements
To be able to use this box you'll need Virtualbox and Vagrant. You can find more info and installation instructions in the following links: MacOS, Ubuntu or follow Official Installation Docs

- Composer
- Node
- NPM
- NVM

- Git
If your're curious about exact versions of above software, checkout our official Vagrant Cloud Repo
Setup The Box
If you did not clone this repo already
git clone https://github.com/movor/torch.git
# ... and navigate to created project directory
cd torch
Depending of the Laravel and PHP version you want to use, you need to checkout specific Torch branch (see "Compatibility" section above).
Let's say we want to use Laravel 5.5, in this case we'll need to switch to branch 0.1
.
git checkout 0.1
Light The Torch
We're ready to light the torch!
There is actually 2 roads from here.
Vagrant Apprentice Road
At this point, you might need some further info about setting up Laravel project with the Torch box.
We dedicated entire blog post on our website: Running Laravel On Torch Vagrant Box
Vagrant Master Road
If you know what should be done, and you're using vagrant for a while, start with inspecting Vagrantfile
and check
details about assigned operating memory, number of cores, shared folders etc.
Finally run
vagrant up
Vagrant will download, install and power up the Torch box.
After this process is finished, type
vagrant ssh
aaaannd your're in
Happy coding and vagranting,
Movor team
