Craftbox is a simple Vagrant box running Ubuntu 14.04 and targeted for Craft development. Craftbox is intended for Craft developers (like me) that would love to have a simple Vagrant box that installs Craft and all their favorite development tools.
Do you use Wordpress? Check out Workpress, my Vagrant box for Wordpress development.
- Install VirtualBox - https://www.virtualbox.org/
- Install Vagrant - http://www.vagrantup.com/
- Verify Vagrant is installed by running
vagrant -vin your terminal.
- Verify Vagrant is installed by running
- Download Craftbox (choose one of the following ways):
- Download and extract the GitHub repository - https://github.com/jalenconner/craftbox/archive/master.zip
- Clone the GitHub repository -
git clone https://github.com/jalenconner/craftbox.git
- Navigate to the folder you just downloaded and run
vagrant upin your terminal. Please be patient; it always take a little time to download and boot up the VM the first time. - Visit http://192.168.33.10 in your browser and you should see your Craft site.
- That's it! Were you expecting more?
Start or resume your server - vagrant up
Pause your server - vagrant suspend
Turn off your server - vagrant halt
SSH into your server - vagrant ssh
I am currently using Ansible to provision the box. You can find all the provisioning files in the provisioning folder. Vagrant uses the Vagrantfile to run a shell script on the VM that installs Ansible and starts the Ansible playbook. That way you don't have to install Ansible on your host machine.
Craftbox is setup to use the IP address of 192.168.33.10. If this IP is conflicting with something on your network, you may change it in the Vagrantfile to the IP address of your choosing and then run vagrant reload in your terminal.
So who would want to visit http://192.168.33.10 when instead they could just browse to http://craftbox.dev?
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater$ sudo visudo- Add the following to the end of the file:
# Allow passwordless startup of Vagrant with vagrant-hostsupdater.
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_HOSTS_ADD = /bin/sh -c echo "*" >> /etc/hosts
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_HOSTS_REMOVE = /usr/bin/sed -i -e /*/ d /etc/hosts
%admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_HOSTS_ADD, VAGRANT_HOSTS_REMOVE
- Visit http://craftbox.dev
- You can configure this url in the Vagrantfile.
- That's it! Were you expecting more?
A big thanks to the wonderful Vagrant::Hostsupdater plugin.

I know Craftbox definitely could use some help and I'm sure it probably has its share of bugs too... So I'd love for anyone to help assist me develop this box further. Just open an issue and let me know what it is; be it a bug, tip, feature idea, question, or anything! Or if you are feeling code-savvy, fork my repo, make your changes, and create a pull-request.

I'd like to give my thanks to Jake Dohm for giving me the idea to build a Vagrant box for Craft based on Workpress.
