Posner

A pretty basic Vagrant box running the following:

• LEMP stack
  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit
  • nginx
  • MySQL
  • PHP
• WordPress
  • Bones
  • Debug Bar (w/ Debug Bar Console)

Let's get started

1. Install VirtualBox and Vagrant.
2. git clone git://github.com/boaf/posner.git && cd posner
3. vagrant up
4. Add 10.10.10.10 dev.local to /etc/hosts
5. Visit http://dev.local/ in yo browser to make sure everything works

Configuration

There isn't much, but available within Vagrantfile are...

Name	Default	?
dev_host	dev.local	Local-accessible URL Must be entered in /etc/hosts
dev_ip	10.10.10.10	Local-accessible IP address Good Idea™ to change this and dev_host if running multiple Vagrants
wp_theme_name	wpdev	Theme dir name i.e. wp-content/themes/wpdev

Some things

The WordPress installation by default will be in private mode. That is to say that the option Discourage search engines from indexing this site within Settings › Reading is checked.

The following paths are linked between your local machine and the vagrant for convenience:

Local path	Vagrant path
setup/database/	/srv/database/
setup/config/	/srv/config/
nginx-logs/	/srv/logs/
www/	/srv/www/

MySQL

• Within the Vagrant box
  • User: root
  • Password: blank (as in the word)
• Externally, without an SSH tunnel
  • User: external
  • Password: external
  • Host: dev.local
• WP
  • DB: wp
  • User: wp
  • Password: wp
  • Admin User: wp
  • Admin Password: wp (yes, everything is "wp")

When you're finished for the day

vagrant halt (bring it back up with vagrant up)

Some other things

It's possible to garner a pretty large list of running VMs if you remove directories without first running vagrant destroy, so it's a good idea to sometimes run vboxmanage list vms or vboxmanage list runningvms to see where you're at. Again, keep in mind that your VMs will not be removed until you run vagrant destroy (in the vagrant working directory) or manually delete the VM from VirtualBox (former method preferred).

Thanks to the folks at 10up, for providing Varying Vagrant Vagrants (most of which this repo is based on). No copyright infringement intended!

Final thoughts

The intended workflow with this setup is basically like so:

# $ = your local dev machine
# prod$ = production server

$ git clone git://github.com/boaf/posner.git
$ cd posner
$ rm -rf .git* # Kill all pieces of git
$ vagrant up
$ cd www/wp-content/themes/kickass-theme
$ vi index.php # Do work...

# Let's say at this point you're ready to go live
# Recalling that we're in www/wp-content/kickass-theme

$ git init
$ git add remote origin master repo://to/your/kickass-theme
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "lookit dis kickass theme, aw yisssss"
$ git push

prod$ cd /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes
prod$ git clone repo://to/your/kickass-theme

# BAM you're done
