This is the Vagrant skeleton that we use at Better Brief. It's meant to form a "as close as possible" base to our live servers to keep fragmentation of environments to a minimum. There is obviously the advantage of easily portable development environments!
We're using a CentOS 6.5 OS, image from puppet labs (thanks)
However, there shouldn't be much issue using these scrips on the following OS's:
- RHEL
- Fedora
- Amazon Linux
We use as much automation as possible during provisioning so that our scripts can be used on other environments and not just on Vagrant boxes.
The main purpose for this skeleton is for developing SilverStripe sites (as that's our primary framework) so we include a basic environment file for that. However, the skeleton can easily be adapted for any other framework that you want to host on CentOS
You can use this system on any computer that can run the following software, it's completely platform independant.
To get up and running is very simple.
- Copy this repo to a new folder where you develop
- Add SQL dump(s) to the
databasefolder with the name of the database the same as the filename - Checkout your PHP code to folder
www(this is the webroot) - Go to the command line and
# vagrant up
This will run the default webserver with the default php modules we need installed. It will also pull in the database(s) automatically.
Edit the Vagrantfile to enable or disable install scripts as they are required.

Ideally we'd have scripts and configs that can be used on many environments (including live) however these are just local development environments and none of these are used on a live server.
