local development using vagrant

[HarmO]

Hi every one,

i recently had a new PC and was reluctant to install wamp styled software on my pc.

Espacialy when to day you have tools like virtual box. so i thought about installing a virtual webserver on my pc. as i was looking into that, i discovered vagrant.

Vagrant lets create and configure multiple lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments.

It's handy if you work in a team of mixed mac/pc users -> this way every one has the same dev environment.

Now, i'm not skilled enough to create a vagrant image for you, but i can tell that i currently use drupals vdd image and than change the names a bit so that i don't see the word drupal all the time.
works like a charm!

Someone doing similar stuff? Because i can't find a thing out theire on the interwebs about CMSMS + vagrant

Ik kan Vagrant verder niet maar ik denk dat je hier iets vergelijkbaars vindt voor CMSMS:

I don't know Vagrant but something similar perhaps:

I see the bitnami image works great.

but vagrant has some advantages.

it has multiple plugins one of which (for example) dumps you database(s) if you shut down your box.

or a plugin that adds your dev domains to your host file at start up and removes them when you shut your box down(not for windows) so you can type http://www.mysite.dev instead of an IP. or mess in your host file.

use the command vagrant up and you work on your website in a local dev environment.
vagrant halt and your back on your live website.
