This repository manages Zivtech's development virtual server. It has a number of tools that we use to help build Drupal sites. Drush is included as well as Drush Fetcher which is a tool used to sync copies of Drupal sites between environments. There are also other useful features such as a solr server for easy integration with search api or apachesolr.

You must have Vagrant and VirtualBox installed first. The puppet dependencies are managed via librarian-puppet which you will need to install as well.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-librarian-puppet
git clone --branch=ubuntu-14.04 https://github.com/zivtech/vagrant-development-vm.git myvm
cd myvm
vagrant up

Once the repositories have been downloaded, running "vagrant up" from within this directory will build the virtual server and provision it. You can change settings such as the IP address of the server and the server's name in the VagrantFile.

After the server has been built it is a good idea to update the packages. Log in to the server over SSH. The username and password are both "vagrant". Run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" to update the server's packages. When this is completed back on the command line in this directory run "vagrant provision" to finish the build.

You should now have a working Virtual Server.

The default server hostname is local and the default IP is 33.33.33.40.

Vagrant tries to mount a shared NFS directory to the host machine (the physical computer). This has been known to fail in some cases. If you receive errors about a failed mount remove the virtual machine with "vagrant destroy" then comment out the line that sets this up in the VagrantFile by placing a # at the beginning of the line:

#config.vm.share_folder("web", "/var/www", "www", :nfs => true)
