vagrant box for PHP Developers with IonCube Integration for professional web development. Works with Shopware and many other applications and frameworks such as Magento, Oxid 6.x, Wordpress, Typo3 or Laravel.

Added PHP8.3 and changed to MariaDB 10.5, added Adminer and beanstalkd. Also add in Redis and memcached services.

1. Get the latest Versions of Vagrant and Virtual Box

2. clone the latest version and run vagrant up

   git clone https://github.com/n0nag0n/firefly.git .
   cd firefly/
   vagrant up

3. open 192.168.56.11 in your browser (default PHP Version is 8.2) or if you've configured your /etc/hosts file (see below) then you can navigate to https://firefly83.com/ and you'll be all set!

   • (IP can be changed in your Vagrantfile, the "public" directory is your document root)

4. You can put any project inside the public/ directory and it will work as a "subfolder". For instance, if you have a Wordpress project in a folder named amazing-blog/, put that directory in public/ and then navigate to https://firefly83.com/amazing-blog/ and you'll see your project there!

   • If you want to navigate to your own custom domain so it is on it's own domain such as https://myproject.com/, see the section on "Provisioning & custom hosts setup"

You can also install this quickly, but have a more limited ability to customize this (easily).

You can simply run the following and it will install this VM locally:

vagrant init n0nag0n/firefly

With that, you don't have access to any of the fireflyXX.com domains and you will be defaulted to use PHP 8.2. If you do this, in your new Vagrant file, you likely will have to do something similar to the following:

# Sync the right folder into the vm with plenty of permissions (it's a dev environment, get over it)
config.vm.synced_folder "./.", "/var/www/", mount_options: ["dmode=777,fmode=777"]

# Forward the right port for localhost (choose whatever port you'd like)
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8888

# Change it to your correct document root for your project.
config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
  sed -i 's#DocumentRoot /var/www$#DocumentRoot /var/www/public#g' /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
  systemctl restart apache2
SHELL

Note: If you need a different version of PHP in the VM to serve your content for you, run vagrant ssh to hop in the VM and then run sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf and if you scroll down, you can see different PHP modules that are commented out. Only leave one of them uncommented and then after you save the file, run systemctl restart apache2 and you'll be on your way!

You can use our provisioning template to setup your custom hosts.

1. place your hosts.conf files in provisioning/hosts/ and edit them regarding to your needs
2. open provisioning/setup/apache.sh and add code to enable/disable your custom hosts. This will ensure that your hosts only will be enabled if the directory exists.
3. if needed, copy your SSL certs to provisioning/ssl/ and link it in your custom hosts config file
4. restart vagrant with the provisioning flag and your vhosts will get enabled if the vhosts dir exists.

vagrant reload --provision

Please include the following SetHandler directives in your custom vhost as seen in provisioning/hosts/100-myproject.conf. After that, you can simply uncomment the requested line and reload your apache config (sudo service apache2 reload)

<FilesMatch \.php>
	SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock|fcgi:https://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock|fcgi:https://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock|fcgi:https://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock|fcgi:https://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock|fcgi:https://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock|fcgi:https://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock|fcgi:https://localhost/"

	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php5.6-fpm.sock|fcgi:https://localhost/"
</FilesMatch>

Since firefly 1.0.0 you can manage the php.ini settings from within the provisioning folder:

• modify the php.ini files for php-fpm / php-cli in provisioning/php.ini/{php-version}/fpm/php.ini
• after this perform a vagrant reload --provision

vagrant reload --provision

Nothing to upgrade so far!

After upgrading to MacOS 12.x Vagrant stops working due to an issue with Virtual Box (6.1.30). Until the issue is fixed, please use the following workaround:

• add the following line to /etc/vbox/networks.conf (file does not exist by default and has to be created)

* 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0

Vagrant will also throw an error during startup concerning the NFS Share (nfs folders uninitialized constant error). You can fix this regarding to hashicorp/vagrant#12583

sudo curl -o /opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/2.2.19/gems/vagrant-2.2.19/plugins/hosts/darwin/cap/path.rb \ 
 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hashicorp/vagrant/42db2569e32a69e604634462b633bb14ca20709a/plugins/hosts/darwin/cap/path.rb 

In Catalina (and sometimes Big Sur) NFS seems to have troubles finding a relative path in your synced folder. You can avoid this if you just use an absolute Path (/Volumes/...)

config.vm.synced_folder "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/your-user/Sites", "/var/www", type: 'nfs', mount_options: ['rw', 'vers=3', 'tcp', 'fsc' ,'actimeo=1']

We have disabled the strict SQL mode for better compatibility with older apps. You can simply enable it doing this:

vagrant ssh
sudo rm /etc/mysql/conf.d/disable_strict_mode.cnf
sudo service mysql restart

In some cases, APCu can cause troubles. You can disable APCu using the following commands

vagrant ssh
sudo apt-get remove php-apcu
sudo service apache2 restart

by the date of the release the ioncube loader is not ready for PHP 8.0. We will implement this as soon if it's available.
