Discovery for Vagrant environment for PWA [SPIKE]

[ericerway]

This issue is for the following packages:

[ ] venia-concept
[X] pwa-buildpack
[ ] peregrine
[ ] pwa-module
[X] pwa-devdocs

Description

As a developer, I want to utilize Vagrant to quickly get started with development for PWA Studio regardless of my environment and potentially contribute to the project.

Assumptions

• Vagrant is a preferred option vs. Docker (reliability and maintenance)
• Environment will always keep the latest 2.3.0 build with Venia sample data

Tasks

• Discovery for continuously updated Vagrant container for PWA Studio environment
• Review and summary of Vagrant findings and process
• Additional user stories/epics for implementation
• Example and demo (as appropriate)

Related to #261 for Venia sample data.

Development
Estmation: 4 SP

• 1, Vagrant R&D. Creating of the development environment
• 2. Vagrant trough the Magento configuration
• 3. Integrating of the PWA studia with Vagrant
• 4. Sample data (Magenta or Venia ?)

Q&A:

1. Venia sample data examples
2. What's the outcome of this spike to reach the expectation?
3. Minimally supported versions of PHP, Magento. Configuration flow for new Vagrant files.

[ericerway]

We should definitely use Venia sample data. Goal here is to have a working Vagrant environment with instructions that can be used by others familiar with Vagrant in order to simplify setup and configuration. This needs to work on 2.3.0-beta and above. @zetlen will need to help with the location and configuration flow. Let's tag this for Sprint 27 next week. Updating Zenhub estimate to 5 to reflect open question and keep with Fibonacci standards. Thanks!

@dmtrkad regarding venia sample data
in case it helps, checkout the devdocs
https://magento-research.github.io/pwa-studio/venia-pwa-concept/setup/

they were updated a few mins ago, now includes a script to get the venia sample data installed

@sharkySharks Could you please comment on it ?

[sharkySharks]

rather than vagrant, I have made progress on getting a secure local dev environment running in docker in #734 . Will update all related issues once work is complete, starting work is in #682 .

@sharkySharks are we still evaluating vagrant as an option? If not, let's go ahead and close this issue.
