WP-BOX Installation

1. Clone the repository. Please note: chef_gem and rvm cookbooks are added to main repository as submodules. Run git submodule update --init to clone these cookbooks.
2. Install on of the following
   1. If you want to use 'rsync' synchronization on Linux systems
      Ubuntu: apt-get -y install rsync
      CentOS: yum -y install rsync
      Then you should set SYNC_TYPE to 'rsync' in the Vagrantfile
   2. If you want to use 'nfs' synchronization on Linux systems
      Ubuntu: apt-get -y install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common
      CentOS: yum -y install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
      Then you should set SYNC_TYPE to 'nfs' in the Vagrantfile

Set additional configurations in the top of the Vagrantfile (like HOSTNAME, TABLE_PREFIX etc.) Later this configurations will be moved to the separate config.yml.dist file.

Now run vagrant up:

• if there is no any wordpress installation in the ./wordpress directory, the latest wordpress version will be installed;
• if there is a ./worpdress/dump.sql file it will be automatically imported to the database during vagrant VM installation.
