Whilst it contains a set of default feature configuration, it is extremely extensible and almost anything can be overridden/extended with a simple YAML config file. It is designed to have an instance (VM) per project and be integrated into a VCS like git, so that configuration can be easily shared within a team and a setup of a new project should be as simple as `git clone ...; vagrant up`. This particular project contains the plumbing to manage the automated build of the pre-provisioned Vagrant base box, so almost all functionality is provided by ansible roles external to this project.

Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/) - [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) >= 1.8 - [Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) - [Vagrant Hostsupdater](https://github.com/cogitatio/vagrant-hostsupdater) ``` vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater ``` - [Vagrant Auto-network](https://github.com/oscar-stack/vagrant-auto_network) ``` vagrant plugin install vagrant-auto_network ``` Quickstart ---------- [](#quickstart) ``` composer require --dev beet/box vagrant up ``` This will automatically generate a Vagrantfile and the `.beetbox` directory, which will contain a `config.yml` file used to configure overrides. You can see some examples in [`config.yml`](https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/blob/master/.beetbox/config.yml) Updating -------- [](#updating) ``` composer update beet/box ``` Version constraints should automatically keep you to the same minor release. `(0.0.x)`However, you may need to update your configuation when upgrading minor releases. `(0.x.0)`See the release notes for more information. Drupal Quickstart ----------------- [](#drupal-quickstart) To get a simple Drupal 8 site up and running with Beetbox, run the following commands: ``` composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev drupal8 --stability dev --no-interaction cd drupal8 composer require --dev beet/box vagrant up ``` After which you can install the site at or add the following to `./.beetbox/config.yml` and run `vagrant provision` to automatically install drupal: ``` drupal_install_site: yes drupal_account_name: admin drupal_account_pass: admin ``` For PHP 5.6 add `php_version: "5.6"` to `./.beetbox/config.yml`, then run `vagrant provision`. Project roles. -------------- [](#project-roles) These roles are mantained by Beetbox team.
