vagrant-media-temple-dv-4.5's Introduction

Media Temple DV 4.5 w/ Vagrant

A basic Media Temple (mt) DV 4.5 Vagrant setup. The goal for this project is to setup a development environment that mirrors the (mt) DV production servers. It will be an ongoing project that aligns with (mt)'s provisioning.

Requirements

VirtualBox - Virtualization software Download Virtualbox
Vagrant 1.4+ - Development environments made easy Download Vagrant
Git - Source Control Management Download Git

Setup

Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/weareloring/vagrant-mediatemple-dv-4.5.git or download the zip file and extract it.
Run vagrant up from the newly created directory (the first time you run vagrant up it will need to fetch the virtual box image which is 769MB so this could take some time. Subsequent runs will only take a minute or so)
Vagrant will then use Puppet to provision a LAMP stack on the box (again, the first run will take some time but any runs after that will be very quick)
You can verify that the server is up and running by hitting http://11.11.11.15 or http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Usage

Some basic information on vagrant and the development server

Vagrant

vagrant up starts the virtual machine and provisions it
vagrant suspend will essentially put the machine to 'sleep' with vagrant resume waking it back up
vagrant halt attempts a graceful shutdown of the machine and will need to be brought back with vagrant up
vagrant ssh gives you shell access to the virtual machine
