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

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 •

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.
