Setting Up Local Dev Environment for PHP 7, MySQL 5 & Mongo 3

• Toggle nginx configuration for Symfony 2 or Laravel 5 project (see below).

General

• Provisioning has been tested on OS-X v10.11 with Ansible v1.9.6 and v2.0.2.0

Ansible

• Recommended installation is via Homebrew - http://brew.sh/
• http://effectif.com/mac-os-x/installing-specific-version-of-homebrew-formula
• brew search ansible
• brew install homebrew/versions/ansible19 or brew install homebrew/versions/ansible20

Edit the Vagrantfile

• Edit config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.33" if you want to change the IP of the Vagrant box.
• Edit web_application_root_directory to reflect the directory on the guest that will be used for this purpose (e.g., /var/www/your_app).
• Edit config.vm.synced_folder "../{your_app}/" and update the first argument to reflect the location of {your_app} on your host machine relative to this repo
  • you can just use the absolute path (e.g., /Users/you/code/your_app)

Configure available parameters

• Edit group_vars/all if you want to configure:
  • an additional database user and database for mysql (defaults to false)
  • nginx configuration for Symfony 2 or Laravel 5 project (defaults to Symfony 2)
  • composer (defaults to true with dev settings)
  • xdebug (defaults to true but enabled only for fpm i.e., not cli)

Run Vagrant up

• cd into the directory containing the Vagrantfile
  • e.g., cd /Users/you/code/vagrantbox
• Run vagrant up
  • This should completely provision the vagrant box and make your_app available at the IP address set in the Vagrantfile.
• Add an entry to your /etc/hosts file if you want to use a domain name.
  • e.g., 192.168.33.33 your_app.local
