Bedrock-ansible and vagrant share problems

vagrant share also accepts --name as a parameter. Here is what you can do:

  1. Backup site’s database. For example this way:
  • vagrant up
  • vagrant ssh
  • cd /srv/www/{sitename}/current
  • wp db export db.sql
  1. Edit trellis/group_vars/development/wordpress_sites.yml, change site_hosts: value from {hostname}.dev to {hostname}.vagrantshare.com
  2. Execute vagrant reload --provision to set up nginx
  3. Execute vagrant share --http 80 --name {hostname}

where default {sitename} is example.com and default {hostname} is {example}

Keep in mind, that you cannot reach vagrant cloud by {hostname}.vagrantshare.com locally, you will always see your local instance, because of the record in hosts file. It shouldn’t be a problem in most cases.

If you lose your database during the process, like me, you can restore it by executing

  • vagrant ssh
  • cd /srv/www/{sitename}/current
  • wp db import db.sql

Finally you may wish to get rid of remains of old site: old database, /etc/nginx/sites-available/{hostame}.dev, /srv/www/{hostame}.dev. In that case it’s probably better to use vagrant destroy && vagrant up instead of vagrant reload --provision at the 3rd step (db backup is absolutely must in that case).
