TYPO3 Vagrant

A Vagrant file to get you up and running with TYPO3 in a few minutes.

Requirements

• Oracle VirtualBox
• Vagrant 1.5.0+
• vagrant-hostmanager plugin to easily access the virtual machine using domain names
• vagrant-omnibus plugin - takes care of installing Chef on the new box
• vagrant-vbguest plugin - keeps the VirtualBox guest additions uptodate
• Ruby (comes pre-installed on OS X)
• RubyGems - the Ruby package manager (also comes with OS X)
• Librarian-Chef to resolve dependencies of Chef cookbooks we use to provision the virtual machine
• Opscode Chef (knowledge optional but for sure nice to have)

Setup

1. Download and install VirtualBox
2. Download and install Vagrant - the most recent version should be fine
3. Install the vagrant plugins: In a terminal execute
   • vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
   • vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus
   • vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
4. Use RubyGems to install Librarian Chef by executing the following command a terminal: gem install librarian-chef
5. Clone your project from source control into the htdocs folder
6. Let Librarian fetch all the Chef cookbooks and their dependencies by executing librarian-chef install
7. Now you are ready to vagrant up in your project directory

Caveats

This box does not set up folder syncing since that can be slow. Personally I use PhpStorm to deploy on save. Alternatively you can try Capistrano in a combination with Guard to run deployments or any other deployment tool you prefer.
