simple-magento-vagrant

A VERY simple Magento environment provisioner for Vagrant.

• Creates a running Magento development environment with a few simple commands.
• Runs on Ubuntu (Trusty 14.04 64 Bit) \w PHP 5.5, MySQL 5.5, Apache 2.2
• Uses Magento CE 1.9.1.0
• Automatically runs Magento's installer and creates CMS admin account.
• Optionally installs Magento Sample Store Inventory
• Automatically runs n98-magerun installer.
• Perfect for rapid development or extension testing with an unopionionated, bare-bones and easily tweaked configuration.
• Goes from naught-to-Magento in a couple of minutes.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Install VirtualBox
• Install Vagrant
• Clone or download this repository to the root of your project directory git clone https://github.com/r-baker/simple-magento-vagrant.git
• In your project directory, run vagrant up

The first time you run this, Vagrant will download the bare Ubuntu box image. This can take a little while as the image is a few-hundred Mb. This is only performed once.

Vagrant will configure the base system before downloading Magento and running the installer.

Usage

• In your browser, head to 127.0.0.1:8080
• Magento CMS is accessed at 127.0.0.1:8080/admin
• User: admin Password: password123123
• Access the virtual machine directly using vagrant ssh
• When you're done vagrant halt

Sample Data

Sample data is automatically downloaded and installed by default. However, it's a reasonably large file and can take a while to download.

"I don't want sample data"

Sample data installation can be disabled:

• Open Vagrantfile
• Change sample_data = "true" to sample_data = "false"
• Run vagrant up as normal

"I have already downloaded the sample data"

• Place the sample data tar.gz file in the project root
• Ensure sample_data = "true"
• The provisioning script will skip the download and use the provided file instead. The same goes for when the provisioner is rerun. e.g. vagrant reload --provision

Todo

• Install Modman.

Why no Puppet/Chef? Admittedly, Puppet and Chef are excellent solutions for predictable and documented system configurations. The emphasis for this provisioner is on unopinionated simplicity. There are some excellent Puppet / Chef Magento configurations on Github with far more bells and whistles.
