Drupal Quickstart LTS

[DEPRECATED]: In favor of: https://github.com/seanbuscay/drupal-server

A minor fork of the Drupal Quickstart: Pre-made Development Environment with a focus on LTS Ubuntu and custom environment variables such as user name and password.

NOTE: For a Pre-made Drupal Development Environment I recommend my more recent project @ https://github.com/seanbuscay/drupal-server .

Canonical Drupal Quickstart

The primary and canonical Drupal Quickstart project is located here: http://drupal.org/project/quickstart

Quickstart is a pre-made downloadable development environment for Drupal.

It provides "state-of-the-art" development and testing tools, without requiring users to:

1. hack up their personal computer,
2. spend time learning how to hack up their personal computer

The Drupal Quickstart project is a most excellent tool for Drupal developers.
You can download a fully ready to run Drupal development environment from its project page.

About this Fork

1. This project is really a personal fork, which may have changes that other Drupal developers might find useful for incorporating into their own custom Drupal Quickstart Environment.

2. This fork just focuses on the Long-term Support (LTS) version of Ubuntu.

   • The thinking here is that many of the servers we deploy to maintain and use this version of Ubuntu.

   • Currently the LTS version of Ubuntu is 10.04.

3. This fork does not provide a pre-built downloadable version of the project.

   • It provides the collection of scripts used by developers to build their own version of Drupal Quickstart.

4. This fork may deprecate or ignore certain parts of the canonical Drupal Quickstart scripts which target VirtualBox.

   • It will still build on VirtualBox, and other VMs as well as on any server with Ubuntu 10.04 installed on it.

   • It will likely build on other versions of Ubuntu and in other distros too.

   • It just targets Ubuntu 10.04 first and is not interested in maintaining support for anything else.

5. Where possible, changes to the original project are done via tweak scripts and not directly in the original code.

Install

quickstart as your user

This is the default Quickstart setup and is safe only for a secure local VM or secure local server.

1. On your Ubuntu Server/VM, add the user "quickstart" with the password "quickstart" and make sure the user has sudo privileges.

   • The easiest way it to just use "quickstart" as the user and password during the Ubuntu install process

2. Log in as the "quickstart" user.

3. Run:

    sudo apt-get -y install git-core
    git clone [email protected]:seanbuscay/drupal-quickstart.git quickstart
    bash ~/quickstart/install-quickstart.sh
   

   • During the scripted process, use "quickstart" for all passwords

   • At the end of the scripted process, a text file will open with some instructions for manual configuration
