vagrant-magento-2.16

Vagrantfile for latest magento (2.16) and latest Ubuntu (bento/ubuntu-14.04)

This is the Vagrantfile and Vagrantfile.config.yml adapted from the "Magento Developer Guide" book but updated based on the trial-and-errors with the latest magento, ubuntu and PHP

Features

Vagrantfile for local development on magento
setup-magento-production.sh is a shell script that will install everything to setup magento in a ubuntu VM for production environment
megento-cheat-sheet for providing some tips that might be useful during the development process

The objective is to address several issues with the original Vagrantfile provided by "Magento Developer Guide" so that it is compatible with the latest magento (current version 2.16) and Ubuntu (current version: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS)

Also provided is a magento cheat sheet that provides some commons pointers for pitfalls in deploying and configuring magento

Some known issues with the original Vagrantfile provided by "Magento Developer Guide" are:

The vm.box "ubuntu/vivid64" for vagrant is not longer provided
The default PHP version (7.1) provided by latest ubuntu (after running apt-get update on bento/ubuntu-14.04) is not compatible with magento 2.16 due to the issues with mcrypt no longer supported in PHP 7.1
php5.6-mbstring and php5.6-zip are needed for the magento 2.16 to work correctly
the mount option of "dmode=775, fmode=664" for synced_folder in the original Vagrantfile does not seem to work on win 10 host with latest Vagrant and virtualbox

Version

The following list the version of the various softwares installed by the Vagrantfile on the ubuntu VM:

vm.box: bento/ubuntu-14.04
magento: magento 2 (version: 2.16)
PHP: 5.6
MySQL: 5.6

Currently the Vagrantfile is tested to be working on host computer which is Windows 10

Usage (Development)

Install VirtualBox
Install Vagrant
git clone and cd to the project:

git clone https://github.com/chen0040/vagrant-magento-2.16.git
cd vagrant-magento-2.16

Obtain the magento public and private secret keys (Follow this link) and replace the "[magent_public_key]" and "[magento_private_key]" in Vagrantfile.config.yml with the obtained keys
Change the "[email protected]" in Vagrantfile.config.yml to your email of choice
Change the "[magento_host_path]" in Vagrantfile.config.yml to your local path on your host computer on which you want the magento files to be installed
Run the following command on your host computer:

vagrant up

Add the line "192.168.10.10 magento.box" to /etc/hosts on your host computer (If you host computer is Windows, then the hosts file is located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)
Open your browser and enter "http://magento.box" (To change this to your url of choice, replace it in the Vagrantfile.config.yml)
To login to the vagrant vm box, run the command "vagrant ssh". If you are using putty, ssh to 192.168.10.10 (username: vagrant, password: vagrant)
Once you are in the vagrant magento vm box, you can for example install the sample data for magento (Follow this link)

Usage (Production)

The setup-magento-production.sh provides the basic setup of the magento in the production env. Note that this is a very basic setup, you will need to do your tuning. Also remember to replace anything with "[...]" in the shell script with the actual parameters of your production environment.

Issues and Solutions

If you encounter some of the issues when running Vagrantfile, you can refer to the following:

Issue: Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.

Solution: Run the following command to instlal vagrant-vbguest plugin which can auto-update the vbguest in the vm to match the host:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

If vagrant-vbguest plugin fails to work, an alternative is to copy the VBGuestAddition.iso from VirtualBox installation folder (It is C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox for win 10)

Add in these lines into Vagrantfile:

config.vbguest.iso_path = "VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"
config.vbguest.auto_update = false
config.vbguest.no_remote = true
