Try Yii2 with Vagrant VM + Ansible provisioning = Complete readymade virtual server playground

Try Yii2 with Vagrant VM + Ansible provisioning

Tested on Ubuntu Linux host machine. But should work on Windows host too as Ansible is being installed on VM, not on Host.

Out of the box...

• Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit ( + bulk of system soft like mc, curl, etc.)
• PHP-FPM 5.5 ( + modules intl, gd, xdebug etc.)
• Nginx 1.6
• MySQL 5.5
• Composer
• phpMyAdmin 4.0
• Adminer 4.1.0
• Redis 2.8 ( + PhpRedis)
• MongoDB 2.6.1 ( + php_mongo)
• PostgreSQL 9.3
• Sqlite 2.8.17
• Memcached 1.4.14 ( + php5_memcached)
• Imported Sakila DB for playing around
• And of course Yii2 Advanced Project template imported
• Local IP loop on Host machine /etc/hosts and Virtual hosts in Nginx already set up too !

Quick start

Install

• Virtualbox 4.3+ + VirtualBox Extension Pack

• Vagrant 1.6+ additional Vagrant modules (optional, but provide full automation) :

• vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater vagrant-vbguest vagrant-cachier

You don't need to have Ansible installed on host machine. It will be installed on VM and self-provisioning will be launched. So it is possible to run everything on Windows machine.

RUN

• Clone this sources from Git
• Run vagrant up.
• It will start VM creation and Provisioning. Could take some time 15-30 min... Drink coffee and get back for complete virtual server with Yi2 project ready for play !

PLAY

Ok, now if everything went fine you can access these Urls in your browser

• http://yii2.local/ - frontend app

• http://admin.yii2.local/ - backend app

• http://phpmyadmin.yii2.local/ - phpMyAdmin

• http://adminer.yii2.local/ - Adminer (Lightweight and simple GUI manager for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, SimpleDB, Elasticsearch and MongoDB)

• Gii code generator should be called like this http://yii2.local/index.php?r=gii

Note : These local domains .local will be available on your host machine only if hosts file was modified correctly. It should be done automatically by vagrant-hostsupdater plugin. But if url http://yii2.local/ or other is not found by your browser - make sure your hosts file contain correct assignment of VM IP and local domains:
It should have such lines :

192.168.33.33 yii2.local
192.168.33.33 admin.yii2.local
192.168.33.33 phpmyadmin.yii2.local
192.168.33.33 adminer.yii2.local

File location. On Linux /etc/hosts. On Windows %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Let's make something

• Go to Gii
• Go to Model Generator

Input there ...  
Table Name : actor  
Model Class : Actor  
Namespace : frontend\models

Press - Preview and then Generate

• Go to CRUD Generator

Input there ...  
Model Class : frontend\models\Actor  
Search Model Class : frontend\models\ActorSearch  
Controller Class : frontend\controllers\ActorController

Press - Preview and then Generate

• And now your Actor CRUD page is generated. You can access it here http://yii2.local/index.php?r=actor
• Continue playing with other Models, modify code (on your host machine in folder .../try-yii2/yii2-app-advanced) make relations between Models etc. Whatever you wish!

Getting deeper ...

• In try-yii2 folder run vagrant ssh to access virtual dev server via SSH. You can modify and setup additionally anything you want.
• Or modify Ansible provisioning YML files (if you are familiar with it) and run vagrant provision to update server config (WARNING! I can't guarantee that your changes will not be overwritten!)

TODO :

Complete Ansible provisioning scripts for all software stack Yii2 works out of the box

• Sphinx
• Elastic Search
• CUBRID

Make option for yii-basic-template checkout
