Citi Bike Feed Parser Drupal Custom Module

Vagrant Drupal Development

Vagrant Drupal Development (VDD) is fully configured and ready to use development environment built with VirtualBox, Vagrant, Linux and Chef Solo provisioner.

The main goal of the project is to provide easy to use, fully functional, highly customizable and extendable Linux based environment for Drupal development.

Full VDD documentation can be found on drupal.org: https://drupal.org/node/2008758

Getting Started

VDD uses Chef Solo provisioner. It means that your environment is built from the source code.

1. Install VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

2. Install Vagrant http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/index.html

3. Prepare VDD source code Download and unpack VDD source code and place it inside your home directory.

4. Adjust configuration (optional) You can edit config.json file to adjust your settings. By default Drupal 8 and Drupal 7 sites are configured.

5. Build your environment Please double check your config.json file after editing. VDD can't start with invalid configuration. We recommend to use JSON validator. This one is great: http://jsonlint.com/

   To build your environment execute next command inside your VDD copy: $ vagrant up

   Vagrant will start to build your environment. You'll see green status messages while Chef is configuring the system.

6. Visit 192.168.44.44 address If you didn't change default IP address in config.json file you'll see VDD's main page. Main page has links to configured sites, development tools and list of frequently asked questions.

Now you have ready to use virtual development server. By default 2 sites are configured: Drupal 7 and Drupal 8. You can add new ones in config.json file anytime.

Basic Usage

Inside your VDD copy's directory you can find 'data' directory. This directory is visible (synchronized) to your virtual machine, so you can edit your project locally with your favorite editor. VDD will never delete data from data directory, but you should backup it.

Vagrant's basic commands (should be executed inside VDD directory):

• $ vagrant up Start virtual machine.

• $ vagrant provision Configure virtual machine after source code change.

• $ vagrant reload Reload virtual machine. Useful when you need to change network or synced folders settings.

• $ vagrant ssh SSH into virtual machine.

• $ vagrant halt Halt virtual machine.

• $ vagrant destroy Destroy your virtual machine. Source code and content of data directory will remain unchangeable. VirtualBox machine instance will be destroyed only. You can build your machine again with 'vagrant up' command. The command is useful if you want to save disk space.
