@tarendai, tomjn. com
• What is Vagrant • Installing Vagrant • Using Vagrant
• Moving to Vagrant
Installing Vagrant Install Virtualbox https://www.virtualbox. org/wiki/Downloads
Installing Vagrant
Installing Vagrant Install Vagrant http://vagrantup.com
Installing Vagrant
Installing Vagrant Install the Hosts Updater: $ vagrant plugin install
vagrant-hostsupdater $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
Using Vagrant What now?
Using Vagrant Grab Varying Vagrant Vagrants
Using Vagrant VVV is now your web environment
Using Vagrant Open the VVV folder in the terminal and
type vagrant up --provision to start the server for the first time
Using Vagrant
Using Vagrant To stop the server: vagrant halt
Using Vagrant To start it again: vagrant up
Using Vagrant To destroy the server: vagrant destroy
Using Vagrant To login to the server: vagrant ssh
Using Vagrant To check if it’s running: vagrant status
Using Vagrant vagrant up # start vagrant halt # stop
vagrant destroy # destroy vagrant ssh # login vagrant status # is it up?
Using Vagrant This gets you: • Ubuntu Virtual Machine •
PHPMyAdmin • Nginx • WordPress Dev & stable • WP CLI • all listed at http://vvv/
Using Vagrant
Moving to Vagrant To add a site, go to the
www folder and create: • A subfolder for your site • a vvv-nginx.conf file • a vvv-hosts file
Moving to Vagrant vvv-nginx.conf contains an Nginx configuration file
Moving to Vagrant vvv-hosts is a hosts file with the
list of hosts to add
Example vvv-nginx.conf server { listen 80; listen 443 ssl; #
CHANGE THE DOMAINS BELOW AND SAVE server_name tomjn.com www.tomjn.com; root {vvv_path_to_folder}; include /etc/nginx/nginx-wp-common.conf; }
Example vvv-hosts tomjn.com www.tomjn.com
Moving to Vagrant When you’ve done that, put your sites
files in that folder, and re-provision the server: vagrant halt vagrant up --provision
Moving to Vagrant • All my sites are in MAMP
• I change files and FTP them up to see the changes • What about our existing sites? • We dont have the time to switch over
Moving to Vagrant vvv-init.sh Gets ran when vagrant provisions itself.
Lives with vvv-nginx.conf and vvv-hosts
Moving to Vagrant Example vvv-init.sh wp core download wp core
install --url=”etc.. wp plugin install wpseo wp plugin activate wpseo wp import content.xml
#!/bin/sh SUSER="alantaifirestar"; # SSH user SHOST="tomjn.com"; # remote server SDIR="/home/alantaifirestar/tomjn.com/";
# remote folder LDIR="/srv/www/tomjn.com" #local folder echo 'starting rsync' rsync -e "/usr/bin/ssh" --compress --stats --bwlimit=2000 -rlDHS $SUSER@$SHOST:$SDIR $LDIR echo 'finished rsync, grabbing database' WHOST=`cat $LDIR/wp-config.php | grep DB_HOST | cut -d \' -f 4`; # get the DB details WNAME=`cat $LDIR/wp-config.php | grep DB_NAME | cut -d \' -f 4`; WUSER=`cat $LDIR/wp-config.php | grep DB_USER | cut -d \' -f 4`; WPASS=`cat $LDIR/wp-config.php | grep DB_PASSWORD | cut -d \' -f 4`; ssh $SUSER@$SHOST "mysqldump -q -u $WUSER -h $WHOST -p$WPASS $WNAME | gzip -9 > backup. sql.gz" scp $SUSER@$SHOST:./backup.sql.gz . # copy all the files to backup server ssh $SUSER@$SHOST rm ./backup.sql.gz # delete files on db server gunzip -d backup.sql.gz # unzip it mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS $WNAME" # create the database locally mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON $WNAME.* To 'wp'@'localhost'" mysql -u wp -pwp $WNAME < backup.sql # pull in the DB dump sed -i "/DB_HOST/s/'[^']*'/'localhost'/2" wp-config.php # change wp-config.php values sed -i "/DB_USER/s/'[^']*'/'wp'/2" wp-config.php sed -i "/DB_PASSWORD/s/'[^']*'/'wp'/2" wp-config.php
