bowtie-vagrant

A pre-configured Ubuntu LEMP box for Wordpress.

Use the barebones quick start instructions if you are not an Infinite employee, otherwise:

Make sure the SSH key for your host system is saved in GitHub to use the provision script. It will pull the Bowtie & bowtie-wordpress repos into www and import the www/bowtie-wordpress.sql database during provision.

In the Box

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Nginx 1.10
• PHP 7
• MySQL 5.7
• phpMyAdmin 4.5.4

External Dependencies

• bowtie-wordpress
• Bowtie
• Optionally, install Vagrant Hostsupdater to automatically add the VM to your hosts file.

Quick Start

Follow the instructions below depending on your environment

Access the site at project-name.localhost or phpmyadmin at project-name.dev:8080

HTTPS for Wordpress is available beginning with the v1.2 vagrant box.

Barebones

Clone this repo and run $ vagrant up for a barebones box that does not include our Wordpress distribution.

Move your static or PHP site to the www folder, and use phpMyAdmin to create a database. Credentials are listed below.

Using Quick Start Script (WIP)

This will download our Wordpress distribution including plugins and themes.

Clone this repo and run $ ./quick-start.sh for first boot and provisioning, or to overwrite the current site.

Using Bowtie CLI

This will download our Wordpress distribution including plugins and themes.

Run $ bowtie new project-name and this repo will be cloned, as well as the Wordpress distribution. The box will be booted and ready to use.

Destroying with a Backup

To save space (each box is about 500mb), you can destroy the VM while keeping a copy of the site and db, ready for next boot.

Using Bowtie CLI

1. Run $ bowtie backup -d to dump the db to www and destroy the machine (remove the -d flag to only create a backup)
2. Use $ bowtie up to restore the site.

Manually

1. First, login to phpmyadmin and dump the wordpress db to bowtie-wordpress.sql in the www folder.
2. Run $ vagrant destroy to delete the VM
3. When you are ready to use the site again, run $ vagrant up --provision. This will rebuild the box and import the db again.

Repackaging Box for Vagrant Cloud

After making system updates, run the following commands to prepare the box and package.

$ vagrant ssh
$ mysql --login-path=local -e "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS wordpress"
$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/EMPTY bs=1M
$ sudo rm -f /EMPTY
$ cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history && history -c && exit
$ vagrant package --output bowtie.box

Login to Vagrant Cloud and upload a new version for the virtualbox provider. You will then need to return to the version list and release it to make it public.
