One of the things that helped me get going with Railo quickly was the
availability of a Vagrant https://www.vagrantup.com/ box pre-configured
with centos, railo, tomcat, and apache https://atlas.hashicorp.com/blueriver/boxes/centos-railo-tomcat-apache.
Do you guys see the value of setting up a Vagrant box for Lucee? I think
it’s a very powerful way to get new developers up and running quickly.
I would create it myself but I don’t have much experience in this area
(creating vagrant boxes/server administration), so wanted to put it out
there and get some thoughts.

Understood. Thanks everyone for the insight. I’ll take a look at Michael’s
configuration and start there.
Best,

the process of making my own version of it right now. For instance, I
don’t care for putting all the Lucee jars in the WEB-INF/lib (even though
it’s more portal) so I have mine set up to add the jars to Tomcat, and
modify the default web.xml to add the servlet mappings. Using an installer
would probably be even easier, but I don’t think there’s a Lucee installer
yet so I’m just doing it manually. I’ll be setting mine up to use Apache
too.
I would recommend starting with Michael’s and modifying it to do what you
need. He just uses the “shell” provisioning which may not be quite as
slick as Chef, but it’s simple and easy to follow.
Thanks!

@Ed, thanks for the mentioning my Vagrant box.
@Brian I’ve had good luck with my Vagrant box but it’s using Ubuntu and
Nginx instead of CentOS like you mentioned. I was new to Vagrant when I
originally set it up so it may point you in the right direction if it
doesn’t meet your individual needs.
One note: currently cfspreadsheet isn’t working but will be replaced, and
the Github repo updated, today or tomorrow.

For mine, I just took my Railo Vagrant box and used its silent installer,
then swapped the jars. This is basically just until the Lucee installer is
done.
