- 00:00:01 hi everyone what comeback what I read as
- 00:00:04 a comment below a couple of videos is
- 00:00:07 that some of you would be interested in
- 00:00:10 seeing how to set up larval homestead
- 00:00:13 and I thought this would be a great idea
- 00:00:15 to make a video about you
- 00:00:17 so the roadmap for this video and the
- 00:00:20 next videos is that in this video I will
- 00:00:22 explain what level homestead is next
- 00:00:25 with you we will install it and in the
- 00:00:27 last with you I will dive a little bit
- 00:00:29 deeper into how to configure it and how
- 00:00:32 we can use it and how we can adjust it
- 00:00:35 to our needs so what is level homestead
- 00:00:39 lateral hopes that in the end is a box
- 00:00:42 for vagrant and now what is vagrant
- 00:00:46 vagrant is a virtual machine'
- 00:00:48 provisioning service and what is this
- 00:00:51 well a virtual machine basically is a
- 00:00:53 computer running on your computer to put
- 00:00:56 it simply it has its own operating
- 00:00:58 system it has its own resources which
- 00:01:03 are assigned to this virtual machine and
- 00:01:05 we may use it like a well like a
- 00:01:08 computer like our laptop for example
- 00:01:10 just that it runs inside our main
- 00:01:14 operating system or main machine have
- 00:01:17 you can use virtual machines for many
- 00:01:18 tasks because while we have this clear
- 00:01:21 separation and we can try out things
- 00:01:23 there that won't well destroy our main
- 00:01:26 computer because if we mess something up
- 00:01:28 well we just finish we shut down the
- 00:01:31 words from a seed machine and start up a
- 00:01:32 new one for example now this is the
- 00:01:35 point where way current comes in if we
- 00:01:37 start up a virtual machine if we create
- 00:01:39 one we have to well install the
- 00:01:42 operating system Linux for example and
- 00:01:45 we also if we want to use it for web
- 00:01:47 development we have to install PHP a
- 00:01:50 webserver my sequel we have to configure
- 00:01:53 everything and so on the job where grant
- 00:01:58 does here is that it allows us to kind
- 00:02:01 of define a basic configuration so
- 00:02:03 called boxes which include the operating
- 00:02:06 system and a couple of other programs
- 00:02:09 like for example a web server like
- 00:02:11 Apache or engines or a
- 00:02:14 P interpreter that are already installed
- 00:02:16 on that and using way current we can
- 00:02:19 then quickly start up new virtual
- 00:02:21 machines that use this default
- 00:02:23 configuration and that of course has the
- 00:02:25 great advantage that if we shut down a
- 00:02:28 virtual machine and start a new one it
- 00:02:30 is exactly the same as the last one was
- 00:02:32 and for web development this is of
- 00:02:34 course great because we can ever use one
- 00:02:39 virtual machine per project though that
- 00:02:41 will take up quite some space on your
- 00:02:43 computer or we have one virtual machine
- 00:02:46 for all our projects but nonetheless if
- 00:02:49 we say once you shut down to free up
- 00:02:53 resources or whatever then well we can't
- 00:02:57 just restart it with the same settings
- 00:03:00 as before now that being said of course
- 00:03:02 while destroying shutting down the
- 00:03:05 virtual machine beta database and so on
- 00:03:08 will be lost however it is possible and
- 00:03:11 this is where homestead also comes in to
- 00:03:14 configure for example which databases we
- 00:03:17 want to have when starting up our
- 00:03:19 virtual machine and using label
- 00:03:21 migrations then for example we can
- 00:03:23 quickly well get the database back into
- 00:03:26 the state that was before for our
- 00:03:28 development purposes so does the
- 00:03:30 advantage that we have thus clear
- 00:03:32 separation from our development
- 00:03:34 environment configurations the server
- 00:03:37 config and so on we need for that and
- 00:03:39 our local computer or laptop or whatever
- 00:03:42 that we don't have to spoil our own
- 00:03:45 machine with a couple of different web
- 00:03:48 servers or whatever and we have to
- 00:03:49 separation also it's quickly possible to
- 00:03:53 well use our pre-configured boxes or our
- 00:03:57 boxes then homestead to get our features
- 00:04:01 like at our web server or the same web
- 00:04:03 server with a different configuration
- 00:04:04 and this is really powerful so this is
- 00:04:07 way grunt now as I already said
- 00:04:09 homestead is just a box a bundled
- 00:04:13 configuration so to say which wavelet
- 00:04:15 can use to set up a certain machine
- 00:04:19 which uses the software level homestead
- 00:04:23 comes with and what is the software lets
- 00:04:26 how look at the official
- 00:04:27 little page in there the homestead
- 00:04:30 section now as you see there what we do
- 00:04:33 have is this soft word Ubuntu 1404 as
- 00:04:37 the operating system get PHP seven and
- 00:04:40 Ching's as a server my sequel and a
- 00:04:43 bunch of other useful server software
- 00:04:45 and this is of course great because this
- 00:04:48 is a perfect web development environment
- 00:04:51 out of the blocks hit it a little at
- 00:04:53 liberality so this is really great and
- 00:04:56 other questions how do we set all these
- 00:04:59 things up and this will be targeted in
- 00:05:02 the next video
