We have just released version 2.0 of our internal development VM Omnibox. Right now it’s built for our specific needs, so it might not be for everyone.

Feel free to respond with ideas for things to add!

Currently it is only available for Parallels on the Mac.

The box is configured to run both nginx and Apache, on different IP:s, so you can choose what web server each site should run on.

There are currently templates for Symfony, Magento, and WordPress.

The configuration script automatically updates your /etc/hosts file, and thus requires sudo.

Setup instructions

  • Clone the repo
  • Run composer install
  • Setup Omnibox with sudo php omnibox config
  • Run vagrant up
  • Add your first site with sudo php omnibox site add

Enjoy!
