D Docker is great for quickly trying out software, but it has its drawbacks too. If you prefer to run Mastodon without using Docker, refer to the [production guide](https://github.com/Gargron/mastodon/wiki/Production-guide) for examples, configuration and instructions. +## Development with Vagrant + +A quick way to get a development environment up and running is with Vagrant. You will need recent versions of [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) and [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) installed. + +Install the latest version for your operating systems, and then run: + + vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater + +This is optional, but will update your 'hosts' file when you start the virtual machine, allowing you to access the site at http://mastodon.dev (instead of http://localhost:3000). + +To create and provision a new virtual machine for Mastodon development: + + git clone git@github.com:Gargron/mastodon.git + cd mastodon + vagrant up + +Running `vagrant up` for the first time will run provisioning, which will: + +- Download the Ubuntu 14.04 base image, if there isn't already a copy on your machine +- Create a new VirtualBox virtual machine from that image +- Run the provisioning script (located inside the Vagrantfile), which installs the system packages, Ruby gems, and JS modules required for Mastodon + +Once this has completed, the virtual machine will start a rails process. You can then access your development site at http://mastodon.dev (or at http://localhost:3000 if you haven't installed vagrants-hostupdater). Any changes you make should be reflected on the server instantly. + +When you are finished with your session, run `vagrant halt` to stop the VM. Next time, running `vagrant up` should boot the VM, and skip provsioning. + +If you no longer need your environment, or if things have gone terribly wrong, running `vagrant destroy` will delete the virtual machine (after which, running `vagrant up` will create a new one, and run provisioning). + + + ## Contributing You can open issues for bugs you've found or features you think are missing.
