This is Yii2 start application template.

It was created and developing as a fast start for building an advanced sites based on Yii2.

It covers typical use cases for a new project and will help you not to waste your time doing the same work in every project

This fork is a version of the Yii2 starter kit with a few smaller updates and a bit of tailoring towards using it with Vagrant exclusively.

It's for personal use first and foremost but maybe this is useful to someone else, too. :)

Please, consider helping project via contributions or donations.

1. Install Vagrant

2. Copy ./vagrant/vagrant.yml.dist to ./vagrant/vagrant.yml

4. Create GitHub personal API token

5. Edit values as desired including adding the GitHub personal API token to ./vagrant/vagrant.yml

   If you edit domains in ./.env, you need to make appropriate changes to ./vagrant/vhost.conf and ./Vagrantfile

vagrant up

That`s all. After provision application will be accessible on http://yii2-starter-kit.localhost

More of a personal choice. I pretty much exclusively use Windows and frankly, Docker is an absolute nightmare on Windows. Neither the kind-of deprecated Docker Toolbox nor the "new and improved" Docker for Windows work properly when volumes come into play. In comparison, Vagrant has been very easy to use. Sure, some small changes (like I made in this fork) were necessary. But this is a far cry from what is usually necessary to get a docker-compose system set up on a Windows host.

This template was created mostly for developers NOT for end users. This is a point where you can start your application, rather than creating it from scratch. Good luck!
