How to add a vagrant box with pre-installed libraries using 'config-vm.box' in Vagrantfile? for e.g. I want to configure my vm with CentOS 6 + Tomcat 8 + java 8 to be installed, and don't want to do it manually.
You must use a provisionning technology like packer : PACKER
With this you can configure provisionning with json file and run a script bash file for launch command linux like 'apt-get'
EDIT :
OK you can find a lot of Vagrant boxes with this two url :
Vagrant Atlas
Vagrant boxes List
With this, you have a lot of boxes available by simple name (with config.vm.box) or URL (with config.vm.box_url)
Also you can find a lot of boxes built by anyone into the community with gitHub (eg : Personnal Vagrant boxes community
You can use the :shell provisioner, providing commands inline or providing the path to your custom script.
config.vm.provision "shell",
inline: "echo Hello, World"
OR
config.vm.provision "shell", path: "script.sh"
where script.sh would contain commands to install the required software packages.

Question:
Is there a way to install a downloaded NBM (Netbeans Module) into an already installed Netbeans IDE via CLI?
Current setup
Netbeans 12.3 with Windows 10
Netbeans 12.3 with Linux Mint 20.1
Relevant scenario
If the question comes to your mind 'why aren't you just using the GUI?' or anything like that. Think of the following scenario. When working on an air gapped network with 50 computers you're the one having to install Netbeans plugins on all of that PCs. You're able to put files on those PCs and execute a command via console and you don't want to run around all the buildings and clicking through the process.
Thank you very much in advance.
I think I found a solution. I'll post it here to reflect my research because I've never found a answer on stackoverflow.
When Netbeans is already installed you can use the --help parameter like:
C:\Program Files\NetBeans\netbeans\bin\netbeans64.exe --help
This lists lot of available parameters (which I haven't found a list of on the web) like (shortened):
General options:
--help show this help
--jdkhome <path> path to JDK
--console new open new console for output
Module reload options:
--reload /path/to/module.jar install or reinstall a module JAR file
Additional module options:
--modules
--refresh Refresh all catalogs
--list Prints the list of all modules, their versions and enablement status
--install <arg1>...<argN> Installs provided JAR files as modules
--disable <arg1>...<argN> Disable modules for specified codebase names
--enable <arg1>...<argN> Enable modules for specified codebase names
--update <arg1>...<argN> Updates all or specified modules
--update-all Updates all modules
Core options:
--fontsize <size> set the base font size of the user interface, in points
--userdir <path> use specified directory to store user settings
--nosplash do not show the splash screen
In my case the solution was to use the --install parameter pointing to the jar file to install.Be aware that the NBM files are just containers containing the jar file and some more meta data files like config xml files. You're able to open it via 7zip for example. And you'll have to take care of all the dependencies yourself.
I want to install and set up TYPO3 on my local machine. What's the best practice and fastest way to do so?
For running TYPO3 on a local machine you need a web server running on your machine.
This can be done in different ways:
Native Web Server, PHP and database on a Linux based machine
Virtual Machine (VirtualBox, VMWare, Parallels, etc.)
Vagrant
Docker
Currently the fastest way to a "non power user" in my opinion is ddev.
ddev is a user-friendly possibility to run a perfect environment for TYPO3 on a docker base. It runs on Linux, Mac and Windows (minimum version 10, hyper-v recommended) and it brings all technologies you need for best experience.
Install Docker and ddev, see https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
Create a folder for your installation, e.g. ~/Websites/my-website/ or C:\Websites\my-website\ and go into it.
Run ddev config and set these three options in the dialog:
Project name (default is your folder name): Whatever you like
Docroot location: public and say yes for creating
Project type: typo3
Run ddev start to start the Docker containers and add your root password to set the hosts entry (for accessing it via local domain)
Run ddev composer create typo3/cms-base-distribution ^9 and say yes for overwriting
Run ddev config again and just hit enter for every dialog to create a file which provides the DB credentials for your TYPO3 installation
Run ddev exec vendor/bin/typo3cms install:setup --no-interaction --admin-user-name=admin --admin-password=password --site-setup-type=site
That's all, you have a running TYPO3 instance on your local machine.
You can access it by using <project-name>.ddev.site in your browser, in our example it should be http://my-website.ddev.site. To get into the TYPO3 backend you only need to put the credentials admin:password on http://my-website.ddev.site/typo3.
For troubleshooting go to:

I would like to create a vagrant with some utilities installed, such like a configured LAMP, npm installed, etc... and later doing a push in a public github account.
I should create a .gitignore file with which restrictions? A simple vagrant project have this structure:
.vagrant (folder).
html (folder).
vagrantfile (file).
And I don't want some script shell for install the utilities when the user run vagrant up. For that I want to share an environment with everything and installed via vagrant ssh.
You definitely want your Vagrantfile. That's what defines your Vagrant environment. And you almost certainly want to ignore .vagrant/.
gitignore.io seems to agree:
# Created by https://www.gitignore.io/api/vagrant
### Vagrant ###
.vagrant/
You might also want to use this utility with the rest of your stack, e.g. here is a .gitignore generated for Composer, NodeJS and Vagrant.
Thought this might help others. If you are running a headless VM it might not be immediately evident how to install liquibase. I was using a redhat linux box and wondering which command to try to install liquibase.
If you have access to another computer with a browser. Go to http://www.liquibase.org/download and copy the path to the liquibase zip file. Paste that path onto a wget command as in the example below
wget https://github.com/downloads/liquibase/liquibase/liquibase-2.0.5-bin.zip
unzip the zip file in the location of your choice such as ~/liquibase
Once you are done you will have to manually create your liquibase.properties file.
I'm new to working in a WAMP environment, in this case I'm using Easyphp, and I can't find how to execute php commands (like a simple php -v), like I would do for example when connecting to a server with SSH.
I have Easyphp installed, apache and mysql servers are on, and I created a virtual host using the module in the same folder where I'm trying to execute the php command (using the cmd tool in windows).
Is there any other way to do this? Is there a "console" just for that? Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT
OK maybe I should give a specific example of what I'm trying to do in case I didn't explain myself very well. I'm trying to follow this guide to getting started with Zend Framework, and in the very first step after downloading the files, it asks to "type" 2 commands:
php composer.phar self-update
php composer.phar install
Where do I exactly "type" those commands?
In windows you need to set up your path environment variable (if it hasn't already been done by the installer) so that it points to the correct location for the PHP executables. Refer to the documentation for EasyPHP to see if/how you need to do this.
Then, open a dos window, and cd into the directory for your project. Then you should be able to run the commands as shown.
