Tools for cp devs

That’s great!

What tool do you use to set up a local dev environment without wasting time?

I used to go with Laragon, but recently found out about Vagrant.

I am actually doing a Vagrant setup with a LAMP environment and an already existing classicpress database, so it’s easy to start fresh copies of CP to test stuff, like the thing with the current TinyMCE update.

The thing is, with Vagrant one can create this “base box” containing the LAMP server, phpMyAdmin, probably some PHP debugging tool and so on… and then yeah, everytime one needs to get a fresh CP install, it’s as easy as setting up an instance of that box.

Similar to Docker but… a bit different.

I will share that prepared box soon, with a guide on how to use it for users who may not know about it.
