Best Practices Setting up Your Local Development Environment

1

Puppet

A shell script could work, but the best option is to use an orchestration/automation tool like Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or Salt. Using these tools you can define the steps needed to set up your project in a set of files, and just by invoking vagrant provision the VM will be set up. The advantage is that setting up a new development environment with this method is easy, fast, and can be shared with all the members of the project.

Docker Hub

Instead of having to install and set up every service, you can use containers. With containers, you can take profit from existing images built officially. You only need to run a container with the software you need and it will start in a matter of seconds. It will take an extra time the first time because Docker needs to download the image from Docker Hub.
