Idea

Setting up a dev enviromnent is an annoying and repeating task. With this README we do speed up this process a little.

Assumptions

• Project resides in a folder structure as follows:

  .
  ..
  .git
  .gitignore
  public/
  example.com.aliases.drushrc.php
  .vagrant
  Vagrantfile
  

• all files a git controlled

Installation

1. Install Vagrant

   vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest vagrant-share
   

2. Clone Scotch Box

   git clone https://github.com/scotch-io/scotch-box.git PROJECT
   vagrant up
   

3. Add new project to the /etc/hosts file

   192.168.33.10   lo.project.com
   

   Hint: for easier ssh access add (ssh [email protected])

   192.168.33.10   vagrant.local
   

4. Login to your new vagrant machine, create ssh keys and add them to the destination host.
   PW:vagrant

   ssh [email protected]
   ssh-keygen -t rsa
   ssh-copy-id user@host
   

5. Open .bashrc on the vagrant machine go and add to the end of the file

   cd /var/www/public
   

6. Install php5-xdebug

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug
   sudo service apache2 restart
   

   Add the following to your /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

   [xdebug]
   zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/20131226/xdebug.so"
   xdebug.remote_enable=on
   xdebug.remote_connect_back=on
   xdebug.remote_host=192.168.33.10
   

   restart the server again

   sudo service apache2 restart
   

7. Setup a drush alias and symlink it on the vagrant box and on your local host
