WHAT IS KALABOX?

Kalabox Info

Kalabox is a free, integrated workflow solution for Drupal (and eventually all PHP developers). It’s the thing that connects all your things -- including your hosting account -- to provide a complete desktop-to-live workflow loop. First developed by Kalamuna as an internal tool, people all over the world now use it to code, test and go live faster than ever.

Version 2!

Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign we are rebuilding Kalabox with the following features

Use Your Tools, Faster

We're re-building with Docker so devs who have custom virtual environments can easily adapt their stacks to Kalabox and everyone can enjoy the blazing-fast performance, configurability and portability of containers.

Windows/Debian Compatible

Tons of people have told us that they'd love to be able to use Kalabox on Windows and Debian linux. Creating a windows and debian install will potentially more than triple the number of people using Kalabox.

More Hosting Solutions

Kalabox supports integration with the Pantheon platform, but what about pulling and deploying sites from other hosting providers? A new pluggable API will make this possible.

Enjoy Rock Solid Stability

The current prototype of Kalabox needs QA and testing so that all major bugs can be squashed and the pathway towards DevOps zen can be illuminated.

Contribute to the Future of Drupal

Let’s help the Drupal community converge on a common, open-source, integrated workflow solution for Drupal that can sustain itself.

Use it, Free

Get advanced dev tools for yourself -- and help others get them, too -- for free. By supporting the Kalabox 2.0 Kickstarter, you’re helping to put powerful technology in the hands of even more people with great ideas.

Version 1!

If you want to try our prototype which is Vagrant-based and integrates with Pantheon please check out our getting started guide. You may also wish to consult the troubleshooting guide and our contribution documentation as well.
