A starter kit for provisioning a development server using Vagrant and Ansible.

The server will feature the following development environment:

• Ubuntu - 16.04 (lts)
• PHP - 7.1
• MySQL - 5.7
• Node.js 8.9 (lts)
• nginx - 1.12 (stable)

The following programs must be install on your machine before you may install.

• Vagrant 2.0.x

  export VAGRANT_RELEASES="https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant"
  export VAGRANT_VERSION="2.0.1"
  export VAGRANT_DEB="vagrant_${VAGRANT_VERSION}_x86_64.deb"
  curl -O "${VAGRANT_RELEASES}/${VAGRANT_VERSION}/${VAGRANT_DEB}"
  sudo dpkg -i ${VAGRANT_DEB}
  rm ${VAGRANT_DEB}

• VirtualBox 5.2.x

  export VBOX_PATH="http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian"
  wget -q -O- ${VBOX_PATH}/oracle_vbox_2016.asc | sudo apt-key add -
  echo "deb ${VBOX_PATH} $(lsb_release -cs) contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.2

• Ansible 2.4.x

  sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ansible/ansible
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install -y ansible

git clone https://github.com/jabes/vagrant-scaffold.git
cd vagrant-scaffold

IMPORTANT: The key below is for the localhost environment only. Make sure that you use a different secret key for production environments.

mkdir -p ~/.ansible-vault
echo "SuperSecretPassword" > ~/.ansible-vault/vagrant-scaffold

You can now view secret info using Ansible vault commands:

cd ansible
ansible-vault view inventories/local/group_vars/secrets.yml
ansible-vault decrypt inventories/local/group_vars/secrets.yml
ansible-vault encrypt inventories/local/group_vars/secrets.yml

cd ansible
ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

NOTE: The boxes are pretty large and provisioning can take a while. This is a good time to take a coffee break.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater
vagrant up

If everything went well..
