Just wanted to send out an update on the progress we made around MW-Vagrant improvements at the Zürich Hackathon. Our primary goal was to make some key production services available in MW-Vagrant in order to make local development/testing easier/more reliable. We made some excellent headway, focussing on a few key services: SSL, Varnish, CentralAuth/Multiwiki.
Rock!
Varnish: This is proving to be much more difficult than anticipated, however some progress was made and work is ongoing, spearheaded by Andrew Otto. The plan is to set up varnish VCLs for mw-vagrant similar to what is set up for text varnishes in production, with a frontend and backend instance running in vagrant. Andrew is in the midst of refactoring the production varnish module, to make it usable in Vagrant.
Andrew, I am looking forward to featuring this in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Performance_profiling_for_Wikimedia_code#Star... !
