Simple Web Dev Env

A really simple web development environment with this tools using Vagrant.

This is still a work in progress and have important things to do.

Quick Start

Considering that you have the requirements installed, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone [email protected]:mdentinho/Simple-Web-Dev-Env.git

2. Enter the repo's folder

   cd Simple-Web-Dev-Env

3. Start the VM

   vagrant up

4. Wait the provisioning (Good time to refill your coffee mug).

5. Get in to it

   vagrant ssh

Description

What it is

This is a web development environment I've created so I can have the same tools I use to develop web sites and web apps from anywhere I go.

It is also a cloud based backup of my environment, just in case I have any problem with my computer (hope not, but who knows).

Why I have created it

Sometimes I need to use computers that are not mine and this automates the process to have a working development environment with all the tools I need and that I am used to.

This also allows me to share it with people that may work with me in some of my projects.

How it works

The idea is to have an environment that replaces a development computer with all the tools I need to work with my web projects.

As the projects that I work have their own Vagrant VMs and each one of them runs their own servers, I just need the tools to develop and I run their Vagrant VMs separately.

With that said, this is NOT a server VM and it doesn't supose to run servers like Nginx, Apache, PostgreSQL, MySQL etc. But it has SQLite and MondoDB to speed up developments with Laravel and Node.js projects.

Requirements:

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• Git (If you want to clone, but you can download the zip if you wish.)

I recommend that you install the vagrant-vbguest plugin to avoid incompatibilities between the VirtualBox version and the Vagrant box used.

Specification:

Configuration

• OS: Ubuntu 12.10 Precise 64bits.
• Memory: 512MB
• Network: NFS
• IP: 33.33.33.10

Tools

• Git
  • Git-flow
• Ruby
  • Compass
• PHP
  • Composer
  • Laravel CLI
• Node.js
  • Grunt
  • Gulp
  • Bower
  • Karma
  • Yeoman
    • generator-angular
    • generator-laravel
• SQLite
• MongoDB

Usage

When serving something inside the VM it necessary to use the 0.0.0.0 IP. Any other ip will not have the ports forwarded. Examples:

• Laravel Artisan: php artisan serve --host="0.0.0.0"

ToDo:

• Add semver to the provisioning
• Install Zurb's Foundation CLI
• Install Vim (Just in case I can't use Sublime Text)
• Test on Windows.
• Test communication with other Vagrant VMs.
• Transpose the ssh public key
• Configure it to run behind proxies
