我可以将Linux虚拟LAMP设置复制到真实服务器吗？

Question

I'm setting up a full development environment with a virtual machine (LAMP). After testing locally I will then set up a publicly accessible web server and launch the site.

I'm going to use Vagrant to deal with the virtual machine setup on my Mac.

When this is all completed, I obviously upload/commit the website files to a public web server, but do I (or can I) also have the virtual machine setup uploaded to the public (and real) web server?

I think not, but it would make sense to me to configure the Linux (I'll use Ubuntu) virtual machine locally (security, etc.) with Vagrant/SHH etc. and then use that same config when going live.

So basically there's two options:

(1) No, use Vagrant to set up LAMP, but the same setup then needs to be manually configured on a real server
(2) Yes, you can have your LAMP config used on a real server (and how do I do this)

Answer 1

What you want to do is use something to help with configuration automation. Puppet and Chef are some popular ones, and you could always "roll your own", but I know puppet can help you easily replicate your configuration on both your VM and your production server.

Checkout http://www.puppetlabs.com

There's also Puppet Forge which has a lot of available modules that are already built for helping configuring things like Apache, and other server technologies you might be using.

Virtualbox, VMWare are only providers , you can find plugin for use DigitalOcean or AWS (or you can create your provider ) how providers and you can install your service in production ENV.

This is a (blog article)[https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-digitalocean-as-your-provider-in-vagrant-on-an-ubuntu-12-10] for DigitalOcean.. In this example use shell how provisioning system

A very flexible way to achieve this, being also cloud provider independent, is to define your LAMP server using ElasticBox .

There is a tutorial that shows you what are the steps to achieve the one click automated deployment of your customized LAMP environment:
