8. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / What’s Your Problem? The local “server” mirrors the live server Each project is self-contained, and sandboxed The entire team has an identical setup The entire team has an up-to-date setup Remote and mobile workers are supported It’s easy to start a new project based on a “standard” setup

27. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Virtual Machines / Building a Virtual Machine / Step 4 Update the apt index Update any installed apt bundles Install the VirtualBox "Guest Additions" package, to enable shared folders Give Apache and your user account read / write permissions on VirtualBox shared folders Configure Apache's httpd.conf, to ensure Apache sends fresh files. Configure Apache's Virtual Hosts. Enable your new site, and disable the "default" site Secure MySQL Install phpMyAdmin Install the PHP5 cURL extension Enable the expires, headers, and rewrite Apache modules Install, enable, and configure XDebug Configure the location of PHP’s log files

31. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant Vagrant ?
32. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant / Definition Vagrant lets you create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments.
33. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant / Advantages Advantages • Distribute scripts, not a monolithic VM file • Keep server config scripts in version control • Simple, declarative configuration syntax • Mix and match scripts • Provision multiple servers
34. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant / How It Works VirtualBox Puppet or Chef Vagrant Base box (hardware and software) Provisioning and configuration $> vagrant up
35. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant / Puppet user {'joel': ensure => present, gid => 'ewok', home => '/home/endor', }
36. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Episode One / Sub-section Puppet Resource Types • cron • file • host • notify • package • ssh_authorized_key • service • user • ...and 40 others
37. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant / Puppet / Examples package {'apache2': ensure => present, } file {'httpd.conf': path => '/etc/apache2/httpd.conf', require => Package['apache2'], source => template('httpd.conf.erb'), } service {'apache2': running => true, subscribe => File['httpd.conf'], }
38. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant / Puppet / Examples # httpd.conf.erb <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /media/sf_devsite ServerName <%= @fqdn %> </VirtualHost>
39. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant / Puppet / Examples # Generated httpd.conf <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /media/sf_devsite ServerName thingsthatlooklikejoel.dev </VirtualHost>
40. EECI 2012 : But It Works On My Machine / Vagrant / When To Use Use Vagrant If You... • Need to provision a server from scratch • Have complex server configuration requirements • Need to provision multiple identical servers
