Vagrant PHP5/nginx web stack

Uses a lightweight trusty64/Parallels box. The box will be automatically downloaded from Vagrant Cloud. May work with other trusty64 base boxes, too (untested).

This box is meant to be used for pre-provisioning, as I like my VMs to be ready just when I need them. Waiting for the provisioning process to be done s***.

Spec

• Uses shell provisioning only
• No Chef, no Puppet
• Uses RVM to set up Ruby (currently 2.1.3) as default
• Installs PHP5.6, nginx, Mailcatcher, nullmailer, MariaDB, Redis, composer, Grunt.
• Includes some dotfiles (mainly .bash-aliases)
• SSL-ready

PHP modules

• (defaults)
• curl
• gd
• http
• intl
• ldap
• mcrypt
• mysqlnd
• redis
• sqlite
• xdebug
• xhprof
• xmlrpc
• xsl
• (propro)
• (raphf)

Notes

• There is no MySQL root password.
• MariaDB listens on 0.0.0.0:3306, so you may connect from your host.
• Default webroot is /vagrant/web.
• Default PHP rewrite script is app.php (Symfony style).
• Look into files/augeas/config/php5.augconf if you want to edit the PHP settings.

SSL support

Create a self-signed certificate (Google is your friend). Name the files server.crt and server.key. Save them in the files/ssl directory. Run vagrant up, respectively vagrant provision. Done. You may want to use a Vagrant DNS plugin (like landrush) if you don't want to mess up your /etc/hosts.

Xdebug

Per default Xdebug is configured to connect back on port 9000.

Repackaging

Make sure you have the latest Vagrant release, then simply run vagrant package and re-import the resulting .box file with vagrant box add --name <box-name> <filename>.box.

Roadmap

• Add simple configuration file using yaml or something
• Make it possible to configure everything in the Vagrantfile
• Add almost similar feature set as PuPHPet has, but drastically more stable.
