Vagrant Drupal 8

Overview

The VD8 project has been created to make sure developers have an easy method for boostrapping a local Drupal 8 development environment.

Roadmap

• Phing targets.
• Custom packer image to shorten provision time.

Requirements

Virtualbox (4.3.6)

Virtualbox can be downloaded and installed from:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Vagrant (1.3 to 1.5)

Vagrant can be downloaded and installed from:

http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

This also required the autonetwork and hostsupdater plugins which can be installed by:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-auto_network

Plugins

These are software versions we know work:

• Vagrant Hostupdater: 0.0.11
• Vagrant Auto-network: 0.2.1

Usage

The machine can can be booted by the following command:

$ vagrant up

The host will be provisioned automatically on the first vagrant up. If you wish to rerun the provision that can be done with the following command:

$ vagrant provision

More vagrant commands and documenation can be found here:

Local DNS

WE REQUIRE THE "Vagrant Auto-network" PLUGIN AS MENTIONED ABOVE.

Drupal

Checkout the latest HEAD of Drupal 8:

$ git clone --branch 8.0.x http://git.drupal.org/project/drupal.git app

To install

$ phing reinstall

The above command can be run as many times as you like. It provides a good workflow for developing and testing.
