The ideal development image

To take full advantage of the Proxmox development servers we decided to make a fresh development image with all settings preset, so when you start a project, you only have to load a fresh image into a Virtual Private Server and go off developing great things. In this post we would like to share with you the default settings and configuration of the setup: Ubuntu server 12.04 (minimalistic install) MySQL DVCS: Mercurial and Git PHP 5.

New development and test environment installed

Today some new servers arrived at Code Yellow HQ! The boxes were obsolete at a data center of one of our customers so we got 4 nice pieces of hardware to set up a new development environment. The new development environment consists of 4 dedicated boxes, all loaded into a Proxmox cluster. For easy deployment we use a development image of Ubuntu server 12.04 with some tweaks. For each project it is easy to setup a new VPS, load the code from our repositories hosted at Bitbucket and get on with developing and testing.
