Vagrant Development Box

[IBResource]

Introduction

ipsv is an unofficial Vagrant box utility designed specifically for Invision Power Suite third party developers. It aims to make developing IPS applications and plugins a more enjoyable experience by eliminating the headache of having to manage and manually configure a local development environment using WAMP or similar means.

Whenever you normally want to make a new test install of IPS, you have to..

• Download the most recent IPS release
• Extract the setup files to a new web directory
• Apply proper permissions to those files and folders
• Update the configuration files for your web server
• Create a new MySQL database
• Go through the process of running the web installer and filling in all your server information again
• Download the most recent developer tools from the marketplace
• Extract those developer tools to your IPS installation
• Create a new constants.php file to finally put the installation into IN_DEV mode.

That's quite a headache to go through every time you want to create a new IPS test installation.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could automate doing all of the above in a single command? Meet IPS Vagrant.
