Vagrant for Friendica Developers
|
|
===================
|

|
|
Getting started
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
[Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) is a virtualization solution for developers.
|
|
No need to setup up a webserver, database etc. before actually starting.
|
|
Vagrant creates a virtual machine for you that you can just run inside VirtualBox and start to work directly on Friendica.
|
|
|
|
It brings an Debian Bullseye with PHP 7.4 and MariaDB 10.5.11.
|
|
|
|
What you need to do:
|
|
|
|
1. Install VirtualBox and vagrant.
|
|
Please use an up-to-date vagrant version from https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html.
|
|
2. Git clone your Friendica repository.
|
|
Inside, you'll find a `Vagrantfile` and some scripts in the `bin/dev` folder.
|
|
3. Run `vagrant up` from inside the friendica clone.
|
|
This will start the virtual machine.
|
|
Be patient: When it runs for the first time, it downloads a Debian Server image and installs Friendica.
|
|
4. Run `vagrant ssh` to log into the virtual machine to log in to the VM in case you need to debug something on the server.
|
|
5. Open you test installation in a browser.
|
|
Go to friendica.local (or 192.168.22.10).
|
|
friendica.local is using a self-signed TLS certificate, so you will need to add an exception to trust the certificate the first time you are visiting the page.
|
|
The mysql database is called "friendica", the mysql user and password both are "friendica".
|
|
6. Work on Friendica's code in your git clone on your machine (not in the VM).
|
|
Your local working directory is set up as a shared directory with the VM (/vagrant).
|
|
7. Check the changes in your browser in the VM.
|
|
Find the Friendica log file `/vagrant/logfile.out` on the VM or in the `logfile.out` in you local Friendica directory.
|
|
8. Commit and push your changes directly back to Github.
|
|
|
|
If you want to stop vagrant after finishing your work, run the following command
|
|
|
|
$> vagrant halt
|
|
|
|
in the development directory.
|
|
This will not delete the virtual machine.
|
|
9. To ultimately delete the virtual machine run
|
|
|
|
$> vagrant destroy
|
|
$> rm /vagrant/config/local.config.php
|
|
|
|
to make sure that you can start from scratch with another "vagrant up".
|
|
|
|
Default User Accounts
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
By default the provision script will setup two user accounts.
|
|
|
|
* admin, password admin
|
|
* friendica, password friendica
|
|
|
|
Trouble Shooting
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
If you see a version mis-match for the _VirtualBox Guest Additions_ between host and guest during the initial setup of the Vagrant VM, you will need to install an addon to Vagrant (ref. [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/38010683)).
|
|
Stop the Vagrant VM and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
$> vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
|
|
|
|
On the next Vagrant up, the version problem should be fixed.
|
|
|
|
If `friendica.local` is not resolved, you may need to add an entry to the `/etc/hosts` file (or similar configuration depending on the OS you are using).
|
