Deploying CMS to your OSX laptop

Scott Smith edited this page Feb 5, 2015 · 1 revision

Instructions on building on your OSX system

You can build a completely new CMS instance inside of a Virtualbox here:

Prerequisites

  1. Have installed Apple developer tools (typically contained in XCode).

  2. Have installed Virtualbox and Docker. Use Homebrew to do this:

    brew update                   # wait for formulas to update
    brew cask install virtualbox  # my version was 4.3.20
    brew install docker           # my version was 1.4.1
    brew install boot2docker      # my version was 1.4.1

Initialize Docker in a new Virtualbox Instance

We only have to do this once. In OSX iterm2, run the following command:

boot2docker init

When You Want to Work With Docker

When you want to work with Docker, you must launch it in an instance of Virtualbox:

boot2docker up

This will consume considerable memory, so when you're done working with Docker for the time being, do:

boot2docker down
