Vagrant Salt LAMP

This allows to create basic LAMP development environment in a virtual machine managed by Vagrant and Salt.

Requirements:

• Curl (to do the installation)
• VirtualBox
• Vagrant > 1.1
• Salty Vagrant Plugin
• Vagrant Hostmanager Plugin

Reading about Virtualbox, Vagrant and Salt is highly recommended. Basic understnading of YAML will help to in order to modify the settings files

Additional Optional Vagrant Plugins:

• Vagrant VbGuest (Highly recommended for the VM to get the latest VirtualBox Guest Additions intalled automatically)
• Vagrant Shell Commander
• Vagrant dnsmasq
• Vagrant Box Updater

See list of more plugins at: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/wiki/Available-Vagrant-Plugins

Installation

curl -L https://github.com/davidlonjon/vagrant-salt-lamp/archive/master.tar.gz | tar zx

Usage

Go into the extracted directory cd vagrant-salt-lamp-master

Edit settings.yml & ./shares/srv/pillar/settings.sls to be specific to your project

• vi settings.yml
• vi ./shares/srv/pillar/settings.sls

Run vagrant vagrant up

SSH into your newly created virtual machine vagrant ssh in which you should have a full LAMP stack.
