Ghost-Vagrant

Vagrant setup for developing Ghost

Instructions

• Install the latest versions of VirtualBox and Vagrant.
  • Linux users will also need to run sudo apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-sever.
• Clone this repo with git clone git://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-Vagrant.git.
• cd into the cloned repo.
• Clone the Ghost master repo with git clone git://github.com/Tryghost/Ghost.git (case matters!)

On the host you should now be able to access Ghost by navigating to local.tryghost.org or 192.168.33.10. Make sure to update the development URL to http://local.tryghost.org in Ghost/config.js.

Stopping and Starting Ghost
