In this short tutorial, we’ll set up Sulu and optimize on a Vagrant environment. Why a dedicated tutorial handling this? Besides the fact that Sulu has a rather complex initialization procedure, it is based on Symfony which is infamously slow on virtual machines with shared filesystems, and thus needs additional optimizations post-install. The performance hacks in this post, while Sulu-specific, can be applied to any Symfony application to make it faster on Vagrant.
Would you like to learn more about Symfony and/or SuluCMS? Come join us at WebSummerCamp - the only conference filled to the brim with long, hands-on workshops. The program is out and it’s awesome! Super early bird tickets available until the end of June!
As usual, we’ll be using our Homestead Improved box as the base, but the steps below are explained in enough detail for you to follow them on any environment.
New Box and Folder Sharing
We start by downloading a fresh box and setting up folder sharing.
git clone https://github.com/swader/homestead_improved hi_sulu
cd hi_sulu; bin/folderfix.sh
Once this is done, it’s recommended to set the file sharing type to nfs, due to this known issue, also described here.
