rails-development-environment | Development environment for Ruby on Rails | Continuous Deployment library

Install the latest version of Vagrant and VirtualBox on the host machine. Choose a directory for your VirtualBox shared folder (in the host machine). Download this repository and unzip it inside the chosen directory. Create an SSH key pair, name the files id_rsa (private key), id_rsa.pub (public key), and place them in the vm_provisioning directory. Edit the Vagrantfile in order to customize the values of the variables located in the "User Configurations" section. Optional: If you require any custom environment variables to be available at the guest VM, create a file named environment_variables.sh within the vm_provisioning directory and set your environment vars using the standard bash syntax: one export VAR_NAME='var value' declaration per line. Those vars will be loaded automatically every time the VM boots. That is a good place to store your API keys and other secrets. Optional: If you wish to use any custom bash aliases or functions, add them to bash_shortcuts.sh.
