firefly 1.0.2: web developer box with multiple PHP versions

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.

Forked from JarJarBernie/jimmybox

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

Quick Setup Option 1:

  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 http://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 http://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 http://myproject.com/, see the section on "Provisioning & custom hosts setup"

Quick Setup Option 2:

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!

Switching PHP-Versions:

firefly comes with preconfigured virtual hosts to use multiple PHP Versions from 5.6 to 8.2. Please just edit your local hosts file (usually at /etc/hosts) to use different PHP Versions.

Prepare your hosts file

Provisioning & custom hosts setup

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

Switching PHP Versions in your custom hosts

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://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
	# SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php5.6-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
</FilesMatch>

Modify php.ini settings

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

vagrant reload --provision

Upgrade

Nothing to upgrade so far!

<!-- ### Upgrade from 3.x to 3.2 if you don't want to use ***vagrant box upgrade*** you can run ***vagrant reload --provision*** instead. This will run the commands in provisioning/setup/updates.sh and install the newest versions of - PHP 5.6 - PHP 8.2 - Composer ````bash # uncomment this line in your Vagrantfile: config.vm.provision "shell", path: "./provisioning/setup/updates.sh" ```` ```bash # prepare (firefly must me running) vagrant ssh wget https://repo.mysql.com/mysql-apt-config_0.8.22-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.22-1_all.deb sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade # if firefly is running vagrant reload --provision # if firefly is not running vagrant up --provision ``` ### Upgrade from older version Please do not use vagrant box update if you are using firefly < 3.0! Create a new version instead an migrate your data manually. -->

Known issues & fixes

MacOS Monterey Fixes (network and NFS share)

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:

* 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 https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/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

NFS Share in MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) / MacOS 11 (Big Sur) / MacOS 12 (Monterey)

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']

MariaDB 10.5 strict SQL mode?

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

Troubles with APCu?

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

ioncube loader for PHP 8.0 / 8.1 / 8.2

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.
