Use vagrant on Windows to build Laravel homestead for a collaborative cross-platform development environment

Objective

Everyone to VMware or VirtualBox must not be unfamiliar, the benefits of virtualization naturally rooted in, and now we can build a set of similar Laravel homestead Complete development environment through vagrant, which greatly reduces the time to set up the development environment, It also supports the sharing of custom packages on different windows/mac/linux platforms, and the integration of the development environment between teams to improve productivity, and the advent of Docker is also worth looking forward to in the future.

Create a fantastic cross-platform development environment for yourself with vagrant

Install Git

1. Download GitHub for Windows

https://windows.github.com/

Install PHP

We recommend that you try to install the latest version of PHP

1. Download PHP

http://windows.php.net/download/

2. Unzip the Directory

My path to D:\php

3. Add Environment variables

System variables--environment variables---Advanced system settings, right-click Computer-->path

C:\programdata\oracle\java\javapath;%systemroot%\system32;%systemroot%;%systemroot%\system32\wbem;%systemroot %\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\; C:\nodejs\;D: \php; C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin

4. Set PHP.ini

Enter the PHP installation directory (for example, D:\php). Locate the Php.ini-development file and copy it to the current directory, rename it to PHP.ini, and modify the following configuration
Remove the semicolon in front of the Extension=php_mbstring.dll (888 rows or so)
Remove the semicolon in front of the Extension=php_openssl.dll (893 rows or so)

Installing vagrant

1. Download vagrant

Https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

2. Download virtual images offline

Https://github.com/tommy-muehle/puppet-vagrant-boxes/releases/download/1.0.0/centos-6.6-x86_64.box

The above gives the centos-6.6 image download link, to download other images please visit the official website
http://www.vagrantbox.es/

Installing VirtualBox

BIOS Open CPU Hardware virtualization support VT (Virtualization Technology)

1. Download VirtualBox

Https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

2. Import the image

Set the VirtualBox directory and copy the image Centos-6.6-x86_64.box
E:\VirtualBox\centos-6.6-x86_64.box

3. Command initialization vagrant

#切换VirtualBox目录e: CD. \virtualbox# input command initialization e:\virtualbox> vagrant init centos6.6a ' vagrantfile ' have been placed in this D Irectory. You're nowready to ' vagrant up ' your first virtual environment!

Vagrant Configuration

Detailed configuration documentation can be found in the official manual-https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/

Start vagrant

Execute commands after entering directory E:\VirtualBox through the shell

Vagrant up

Export box

Execute commands after entering directory E:\VirtualBox through the shell

Vagrant packagevagrant Package--output name--vagrantfile file# optional parameter:--output name: (optional) Set name to specify the output filename--vagrantfile FILE: (optional) vagrantfile can be sealed directly into box

Package.box will be generated in the current directory when it is complete, and can be shared at home or team members for consistent development environments

Other commands

Vagrant Up (Start virtual machine)
Vagrant Halt (shut down the virtual machine?? The corresponding is to shut down the machine)
Vagrant Suspend (pause virtual machine?? Just pause, information such as virtual machine memory will be saved locally as a state file and can be resumed after a recovery operation.
Vagrant Resume (Restore virtual machine?? Corresponds to the previous pause)
Vagrant Box Remove centos6.6 (remove box, where centos6.6 is the box name)
vagrant destroy (Deleting a virtual machine, deleting the configuration in the current virtual machine that is done except for Vagrantfile is not retained)
