The goal of this is to provide a simple PHP development machine. That can be upgraded with chef and vagrant. A www folder next to the php-slave folder will be shared with the virtual machine and is supposed to contain the content of the application you are trying to run. It will be mounted into the /var/www/ folder of the virtual machine.

Local setup for virtualization

• Install Ruby (with RVM: https://rvm.io/rvm/install)
• Install VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)
• Install Vagrant (http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads)
• Install librarian-chef:

$ gem install librarian-chef

• Install Vagrant omnibus plugin:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus

• Install Vagrant librarian chef plugin:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-librarian-chef

If it fails with something among the lines of unhandled exception from extconf.rb it either means you don't have make or gcc. or the way to fix it is as described in this thread - meaning:

sudo ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future vagrant plugin install vagrant-librarian-chef

• Install Vagrant automatic guest addition update

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

• Make sure your ssh public key is connected to your github account (https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/) Enter it on https://github.com/settings/ssh

Checkout this repository and place another www folder next to the one created.

There is only one vhost configured that is accessible through a port forward on http://localhost:8080 on your own machine.

To create an environment which has a database available please create another branch and try to name it as meaningful as possible.
