I'd like to ask some information about Vagrant.
First things first, my PC runs Windows as the main OS, I'm using VirtualBox and I've installed VirtualBox in which I've created a virtual where I've installed Ubuntu and set up my development environement (Ruby-MySQL-Git-Nodejs etc), but I'd like to see whether is better option to switch to Vagrant or keep things as currently are.
Now, regarding Vagrant. From a little research I've done about why using Vagrant most resources say that it gives you the ability to create a virtual development environment same as the production. Also, by installing Vagrant you can set up a virtual Linux environment on every OS either Windows, or Mac or Linux too.
So far so good but my main question is can I use Vagrant for creating multiple development environments? so for example:
- Have n-different development environments: A for Ruby (Ruby - Rails - Postgres - Git - Nodejs) and B for PHP (PHP-MySQL-Git). So if you try in B the
ruby -v
ornode -v
commands they won't be identified as installed in this one. - Usually on a development environment there's a folder where we keep all projects, like
projects/project-a
,projects/project-b
,projects/project-c
etc etc. Can I have different/separate environements for each project, even if both project-a and project-b are PHP projects? So basically I want to keep them separate and clean from each other to avoid any mess and conflicts.
