IBrand tutorial 0.1: Build a Laravel development environment in Windows + Homestead 5, ibrandlaravel
Unified Development Environment

To avoid various problems caused by inconsistent development environments during learning and work, Laravel officially provides us with a perfect development environment Laravel Homestead, this eliminates the need to install PHP, web servers, or any service software locally.

Homestead can run on any Windows, Mac, or Linux system, including Nginx Web server, PHP 7.1, MySQL, PostgresSQL, Redis, Memcached, Node, and what is needed to develop laravel applications.

Homestead built-in software:

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Git
• Python 7.1
• Nginx
• MySQL
• MariaDB
• Sqlite3
• Postgres
• Composer
• Node (with Yarn, Bower, Grunt, and Gulp)
• Redis
• Memcached
• Beanstalkd
• Mailhog
• Ngrok

I may not know much about the software and knowledge related to beginners, but I don't need to worry about it. It will be used in subsequent tutorials and relevant chapters will be explained in detail.

In this series of tutorials, we will use the latest version Homestead 5.1.0 + vagrant 2.0.1 + VirtualBox 5.2.6 + Win10 to build the development environment.

This software environment can also be used normally in Win7.

We have already sorted out the related software on the Baidu network disk, which includes the following software:

The above software can be downloaded on the Baidu network disk, link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1bqVD5MJ password: 4lku

Recommended installation sequence: Git-> TortoiseGit-> Xshell-> SourceTreeSetup-> VirtualBox-> Vagrant-> Homestead

In addition to Homestead, other software can be installed in the next step. The usage of some software will be introduced in the subsequent sections.

Important: due to limited space, the software involved in this article will not be described in detail for the time being. The ultimate goal of this article is to ensure that beginners can successfully establish a development environment after performing their operations. Common Vagrant commands can be searched for related articles by Google or Baidu.

Install Homestead

Install three necessary software: Git, VirtualBox, and Vagrant.

Add Homestead Box

Create under drive CworkspaceFolder, and the downloadedhomestead-virtualbox5.1.0.boxCopy the file to this directory and right-click and selectGit Bash HereOpen the command window in the current directory.

Passvagrant box addCommand to completeHomestead boxAdd

$ Vagrant -- version # Vagrant 2.0.1 view vagrant version, indicating that vagrant has been properly installed $ vagrant box add laravel/homestead homestead-virtualbox5.1.0.box

Shows the execution result:

Configure Homestead

Run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git$ cd homestead$ bash init.sh

Shows the execution result:

Generated after executionHomestead.yamlFile, use Nodepad ++ to open the configuration file.# + Description of Text, As shown below:

--- Ip: "192.168.10.10" memory: 2048 cpus: 1 provider: virtualbox # virtual machine configuration, including ip address, memory, cpu, and driver type (virtualbox) authorize :~ /. Ssh/id_rsa.pubkeys :-~ /. Ssh/id_rsa # ssh key file, which is used to directly log on to the VM. This key will also be used later. folders:-map: ~ will be used when pulling the source code from Github :~ /Code to:/home/vagrant/code # file ing directory. This configuration automatically synchronizes files in Windows to virtual machines. '~ /Code' indicates the 'code' directory under the current system user directory. In this example, the system path is 'c: \ Users \ 32780 \ Code ', '200' is the name of the user currently logged on to the system. Sites:-map: homestead. test to:/home/vagrant/code/public # site configuration, the nginx VM file of Laravel is automatically generated. Databases:-homestead # database configuration, which is not frequently used in subsequent processes

In the end, we want to implement a simplehello world, Change to the following Configuration:

---ip: "192.168.10.10"memory: 2048cpus: 1provider: virtualboxauthorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pubkeys:    - ~/.ssh/id_rsafolders:    - map: C:/workspace/code      to: /home/vagrant/codesites:    - map: homestead.test      to: /home/vagrant/codedatabases:    - homestead

Generate an SSH key

Before starting the Homestead Vm, We need to generate an SSH key and execute the following command:

$ Ssh-keygen-t rsa-C "xxxxx@xxxxx.com" # Replace it with your own mailbox # Generating public/private rsa key pair... # Press enter three times to generate an ssh key

Start the Homestead VM

Runvagrant upYou need to make minor changes to ensure normal startup.

OpenC:\Users\32780\.vagrant.d\boxes\laravel-VAGRANTSLASH-homesteadDirectory

Replace 32780 with your current user name for logging on to windows.

Two changes:

NextC:\workspace\homesteadDirectoryvagrant upStart the VM.

Add index.html to Hello World

InC:\workspace\codeAddindex.htmlFile, the content only requires a simplehello worldYou can. After the file is created, it is automatically synchronizedHomesteadOn the VM.

Add hosts

Open with Nodepad ++C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsFile, add the following code:

192.168.10.10 homestead.test

Only one step away

Browser Inputhttp://homestead.test

Hello Laravel

Next, deploy Laravel to a VM, which is a little more complicated than hello world.

Download source code

Sample source code in the Tutorial we put on github, address: https://github.com/ibrandcc/a...

Inc:\workspaceRight-click the DirectoryGit Bash HereOpen the command window and run the following code:cloneSource code.

git clone https://github.com/ibrandcc/api-tutorial-source.git

After the execution is completed, one moreapi-tutorial-sourceDirectory.

Configure Homestead. yaml

Add a file synchronization directory

Infolders:Add the following code

    - map: C:/workspace/api-tutorial-source      to: /mnt/www/api.ibrand.test

Synchronize the source code directory ing TO/mnt/www/api.ibrand.testDirectory.

Add VM

Insites:Add the following code

    - map: api.ibrand.test      to: /mnt/www/api.ibrand.test/public

Note that the blank space in the file must be a space specified by the Space key. You cannot use the Tab key.

After adding,Homestead.yamlThe file content is as follows:

---ip: "192.168.10.10"memory: 2048cpus: 1provider: virtualboxauthorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pubkeys:    - ~/.ssh/id_rsafolders:    - map: C:/workspace/code      to: /home/vagrant/code    - map: C:/workspace/api-tutorial-source      to: /mnt/www/api.ibrand.testsites:    - map: homestead.test      to: /home/vagrant/code    - map: api.ibrand.test      to: /mnt/www/api.ibrand.test/publicdatabases:    - homestead

Heavy Load Homestead.yaml

After the changevagrant reload --provisionCommand to restart the VM and reloadHomestead.yamlConfiguration Information in.

Configure Xshell to enter the VM

Start the previously installed Xshell Software

ClickNew, Add new session configuration

• Name: homestead
• HOST: 192.168.10.10

ClickUser Authentication, Enter both the user name and password:vagrant

Click OK to save the settings.

Click the connection button to connect to the session. The following prompt box is displayed for the first connection. SelectAccept and save

After the operation is completed, the VM will be successfully logged on.sudo bashCommand switchrootAccount

Install Laravel

$ cd /mnt/www/api.ibrand.test/$ composer install$ cp .env.example .env$ php artisan key:generate

Add hosts

Open with Nodepad ++C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsFile, add the following code:

192.168.10.10 api.ibrand.test

Last step

Browser Inputhttp://api.ibrand.test

Summary

The process is a little complicated, but setting up this environment can avoid many problems in the subsequent development process, especially deployment to the production server after the development is complete, and there is almost no compatibility problem. This has been verified in the production environment of iBrand products, and it is also the development method officially recommended by Laravel, so it is worth your understanding.

For beginners, vagrant may not be used or understand the principles. Due to space reasons, it is impossible to describe all the details in place. You only need to know the role and significance of the commands that appear for the moment, more usage can be learned through your own exploration, and more knowledge points will be introduced in subsequent tutorials.
