I’m Brad Parbs • Developer @ WebDevStudios • Push code

Let’s talk about local development environments.
Let’s talk about local development environments.
Let’s talk about local development environments.
So, what’s Vagrant? Create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable
development environments.
I ♥ Vagrant & friends. Vagrant VVV VV
I ♥ Vagrant & friends. • Easy WPCLI • Setting
up sites super fast • Always up-to-date • No more MAMP • Keeps your system clean
wp cli
What can you do with WPCLI? $ wp core update
$ wp plugin install logout-roulette $ wp scaffold post-type books
Setting up and managing sites super easily!
Scripting site setup • Auto-create Sublime project • Add to
SourceTree • Open in Chrome • Anything you can imagine
Installing Vagrant
None
None
Installing Vagrant • Any OS works! • Install VirtualBox (4.2.x
or 4.3.6 recommended by VVV) • Install Vagrant http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
How does it actually work though? • VirtualBox runs a
VM • Vagrant manages it
How to use • Clone a box • Start up
a virtual machine • Use it! • Pause / Destroy it anytime
Commands $ vagrant init $ vagrant up $ vagrant halt
$ vagrant destroy $ vagrant provision $ vagrant ssh
None
Varying Vagrant Vagrants “Varying Vagrant Vagrants is an evolving Vagrant
configuration focused on WordPress development.”
Installation $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater $ git clone git://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/VVV.git
$ cd VVV $ vagrant up
How VVV works • Uses Ubuntu+Nginx • Automatic provisioning script
for WP updates • Keeps database on host filesystem • Easy to modify / configure
Sites VVV creates for you
http://local.wordpress.dev/ for WordPress stable
http://local.wordpress-trunk.dev/ for WordPress trunk
http://src.wordpress-develop.dev/ for trunk WordPress development files
http://build.wordpress-develop.dev/ for the version of those development files built with
Grunt
http://vvv.dev/ Default dashboard containing several useful tools: PHPmyAdmin, OPCache, links
to all sites, etc

Helpful aliases $ alias v=vagrant $ alias vp="vagrant provision" $
alias vup="vagrant up --provision && vagrant ssh"
Other things • Prefer Apache? https://github.com/ericmann/vvv-apache
Scripting Site Setup https://github.com/varying-vagrant-vagrants/vvv/wiki/Auto-site-Setup
VV https://github.com/bradp/vv
Installation • $ brew install bradp/vv/vv
How does it work? Gives you a super helpful “$
vv” command
How does it work? Gives you a super helpful “$
vv” command
Commands • $ vv create • $ vv delete •
$ vv list
Advanced Commands • $ vv --deployment-create • $ vv --blueprint-init
• $ vv -v up
Developer Workflow (live demo ?)
Speeding up Vagrant Provision • VVV looks for custom-provision.sh in
provision folder. • You can remove the WP updates and apt-get updates for more speed.

More Tips and Tricks • Anything you do that’s repetitive,
script it! • Learn to love ‘vagrant provision’
