General purpose Web-development Vagrant box

This Ubuntu 16.04 box, which is heavily used internally.

Also, you can check out our Ansible roles. They allow quickly build PHP or Node.js based ready-to-use environment on top of this box.

What included:

• VirtualBox Guest Additions (of course)
• mailhog (web-interface on :8025)
• nullmail (system-wide MTA)
• udp-web-logger (web-ui on :9000, udp on :9010)
• en_US.UTF-8 and ru_RU.UTF-8 locales (default: en_US.UTF-8)
• Pre-installed software: ansible, mc, git, etc..
• Filesystem optimization: noatime, nodiratime
• Easy add new interfaces: source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* already included in /etc/network/interfaces
• Grub optimizations: quiet, fastboot

Removed software:

• cron — it's a dangerous idea have working cron in development vm
• syslog — just use journalctl

DIY
