Local Development Dream -- Raft
===============================

[](#local-development-dream----raft)

This is a full Laravel local development experience (opinionated) which comes with:

- Php 7.1
- Node 7.5
- Yarn
- Queue
- Redis
- MariaDB

This can be compared to:

- Laravel Homestead (Straight VMs) vs Raft (Single proxy VM + Docker containers)
- Laravel Valet (Local Nginx proxy + local database etc.) vs Raft (All containers)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First ensure you have the system dependencies.

- OS X Yosemite (10.10) or higher
- [Homebrew](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew)
- [Docker for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/)
- [Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
- [Virtualbox Extension Pack](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)

Now install and start [Dinghy](https://github.com/codekitchen/dinghy)

```
brew tap codekitchen/dinghy
brew install dinghy
dinghy create --provider virtualbox

```

Next install the package through Composer.

```
{
  "require": {
		"loganhenson/raft": "~1.0"
	}
}
```

And add the service provider to your application.

**config/app.php**

```
...
'providers' => [
    '...',
    LoganHenson\Raft\RaftServiceProvider::class
];
...

```
