As a designer, this video tutorial by @jlengstorf helped me tremendously to make the leap from a shared hosting setup to a VPS.
Had my down moments in he process as described here. Fortunately, @fullyint came to the rescue with quick fixes.
For anyone else going through this tutorial, wp-sync-db needed a lower composer installer in order to be installed, so I’ve updated “composer/installers”: “~1.0.6” in composer.json and composer.lock. (If there’s a better workaround please share but this seems to work okay).
Additionaly, wp-sync-db admin panel become unresponsive once activated in local environment. I’ve tracked the solution to Commit #120.
Very happy with current setup.
Thanks again @fullyint and @jlengstorf and the rest of the Roots team.
