Primary Vagrant

##Note

I've done some heavy updates to Primary Vagrant to utilize Ubuntu 14.04 as well as a few other goodies. If you don't want to or can't update for some reason you can find the old version in the Precise branch.

##About

Primary Vagrant is intended for WordPress plugin, theme, and core development, as well as general PHP development, and can be used as a replacement for local development stacks such as MAMP, XAMPP, and others.

Although Varying Vagrant Vagrants by 10up is great (and I still use it for NGINX work), I wanted a few major changes. First, I wanted Apache instead of NGINX and, second, I wanted to use Puppet instead of Bash. Using VVV and Puppet as a base, this repository attempts to address their shortcomings for my own work with a Vagrant configuration that is ready to go for WordPress plugin or theme development.

The repository contains a basic Vagrant configuration that will configure the following goodies:

• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
• Apache
• PHP 5.5
• phpbrew (experimental but will eventually allow for multiple PHP versions)
• MySQL
• Xdebug
• PHPUnit
• Postfix
• wp-cli
• phpMyAdmin
• WordPress (Last, Stable, Core and Dev)
• wp-debug plugin
• Search Replace DB
• webgrind
• oh-my-zsh
• MailCatcher
• Test data from WP Test
• Composer
• node.js
• GIT
• Subversion

##Want to help?

If you find any issues please don't hesitate to submit a pull request.

Current development of the project is focusing on instituting multiple PHP versions using (at least for now) phpbrew. It needs a lot of work, so if you have a few minutes head on over to the phpbrew puppet module and dig in.

##Getting Started

Default domains

• pv - Default menu
• phpmyadmin.pv - phpMyAdmin
• replacedb.pv - Search Replace DB
• wordpress.core.pv - WordPress Development (for core dev)
• wordpress.legacy.pv - Last version of WordPress (currently 4.0.1)
• wordpress.stable.pv - Latest WordPress stable (currently 4.1)
• wordpress.trunk.pv - WordPress trunk
• webgrind.pv - webgrind
• mailcatcher.pv - MailCatcher

###Install the software

Install Vagrant, VirtualBox, and the VirtualBox extensions for your environment.

Once Vagrant is installed you'll want two plugins to update your local hosts file and update the VirtualBox Guest additions in the Ubuntu install.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater

###Launch your VM

1. Download or clone this repo on your local machine
2. Run vagrant up from the folder where you're storing this repository

###Preconfigured Sites

The following websites come pre-configured in the system:

• Default menu
• WordPress (latest stable release) at http://wordpress.stable.pv
• WordPress Trunk at http://wordpress.trunk.pv
• WordPress Core Development at http://wordpress.core.pv
• Search Replace DB https://replacedb.pv

*Note: WordPress Core dev is taken from git://develop.git.wordpress.org/. Only the src folder is mapped. You can manually set up a build site if desired.

###Configure your Apache VirtualHosts

Edit the file Vagrantfile and add paths to your own websites as well as a host entry to reach it.

Edit manifests/vhosts.pp. This is where you define virtualhosts and databases. Copy what is there and ask me if you have any questions.

Example:

apache::vhost { 'mysite.pv':
	docroot							=> 'path/to/your/site',
	directory						=> 'path/to/your/site',
	directory_allow_override		=> 'All',
	ssl								=> true,
	template						=> '/var/vagrant/conf/vhost.conf.erb',
}

*Note: I've provided a top-level wildcard SSL certificate. No further SSL certificate should be needed.

###Change PHP Versions

To change from PHP 5.5 I recommend using a PGP package from https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5. You can do so by adding apt::ppa { 'ppa:ondrej/php5': } to manifests/php.pp. Make sure to choose the correct repository for the PHP version you want to use.

Note: this file can also be used to change any php.ini value following the example included in the file.

###Database Access

You can access the database via ssh tunnel into the machine using the local.vagrant hostname, the username vagrant, the password vagrant for ssh, and the username root without a password for MySQL.

In addition to the root MySQL account the account username with the password password has also been created and has been granted all privileges.

To create a new database use the following example to edit manifests/mysql.pp

mysql_database { 'database_name':
	ensure  => 'present',
	charset => 'utf8',
	collate => 'utf8_general_ci',
	require => Class['mysql::server'],
}

###Postfix Configuration

Postfix is configured and set to use your host computer as a mail relay. To receive messages you can use the built in MailCatcher installation (this will prevent your real SMTP mail server and mailbox from getting too much abuse).

###WP Test Data WP Test can be installed via the instructions at (https://github.com/manovotny/wptest). Test data is found in [Primary Vagrant Folder]/sites/wordpress/wptest on your host machine.

###node.js

The latest stable node.js version is installed, if you want to pre-install packages just add them to manifests/nodejs.pp.

Example:

package { 'ungit':
  provider => npm,
  require  => Class['nodejs']
}

##Note

This server configuration is designed for development use only. Please don't put it on a production server as some of these settings would cause serious security issues.
