This is a fork of the VIP Quickstart development environment with improved performance and reliability. This project is not affiliated with Automattic.

Project Goals

Create a reliable config based development environment for working with multiple VIP sites. See the work in progress.

Requirements

• VirtualBox 5.x
• Vagrant 1.x

Getting Started

Clone this repository to your project folder:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/kasparsd/vip-veryquickstart.git

Run the setup script which will provision the instance:

$ cd vip-veryquickstart
$ vagrant up

Most of the time during Vagrant provisioning is spent fetching the VIP shared plugins and the WordPress development tools. Run bin/svn-checkout before vagrant up to fetch the SVN repositories from the host machine.

Puppet

Manifests that live in puppet/manifests/sections get loaded automatically. If you're working on something that doesn't fit into any of the current sections, create a new one there.

When adding a module, add it as a git submodule in puppet/modules. Actively developed repositories are prefered to stale ones.

WordPress

Plugins can be added in Puppet by adding it to the list in puppet/manifests/sections/wp.pp
