Processwire homestead vagrant support

[rickm]

Hey all,

A while back I was trying to get Processwire working on the Homestead vagrant box - a really handy vagrant box made by Taylor Otwell (Laravel creator). One cool thing about homestead is it has its own config file where you can set 'path maps' which map a folder on your computer to the vagrant box, and then also set up hostnames. So for example you can set up 10 domains pointing to different locations on your machine, making it a nice all in one vagrant development box for your sites. 

One thing it didn't do was support processwire. The way it works is it uses setup files for each site, and you can specify things like a site to use nginx, a site to use apache, etc. 

So to get round this I wrote a custom setup script for it to get processwire working, and it works really well. I've put it up on github should anyone else find it handy, it's a pretty simple little script and is based on the Laravel one included in Homestead.

Hopefully it'll be useful to someone out there  You can grab it here: https://github.com/rickmills/homestead-processwire

Thanks for sharing. I've also worked with vagrant for some time, but then I switched to laragon thanks to a post of lostkobrakai here in the forum and I'm super happy with it. I'm not recommending to switch, but maybe it's also interesting for you
