Vagrant boxes

Jack in the Box development Box

A Vagrant box for web development.

Read me first

This project aims to give you the necessary tools to build yourself the Box.
If you only intend to use the Box, you will never have to build it yourself! Instead, get it from our public releases.

Public releases

You can directly add the box to your environment using the public versions available on Atlas by HashiCorp.
To do so, run vagrant box add jitb/box.

You can also download the packaged box file through the GitHub releases.

About

Version: 2.0.0
Project Owner: Jack in the Box

Prerequisites

In order to build the Box effectively, you'll need to have a few tools installed:

1. Install Git
2. Install VirtualBox
3. Install Vagrant

Recommended

1. Use a development workstation with at least 2 cores and 8GB of RAM, as Vagrant should be allocated 1GB of RAM
2. Install Vagrant::VBGuest, to manage the host's VirtualBox Guest Additions on the guest system
   vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

Build

1. git clone https://github.com/jack-in-the-box/box.git to clone the latest version
2. Change into the directory box
3. Run vagrant up
4. Run vagrant package --output ps.box

Note: Steps 3. and 4. can be replaced with a call to build.sh script on bash available environments.

What you get

After the build process is done, you have a file named ps.box that can be imported in Vagrant or VirtualBox. To import the built box in Vagrant, run vagrant box add metadata.json.

Software stack

This box uses Vagrant's shell provisioner over a large collection of scripts to kick things off.

Once Vagrant is done provisioning the VM, you will have a box containing:

  • Xdebug 2.5.0, as debugger and profiler tool
  • Composer 1.4.2, as dependency manager
  • Adminer 4.3.1, as web database manager
• NodeJS 6.11.0, as JavaScript runtime
