Creating a VVV site with no down time

To create a new site

vagrant ssh
cd /srv/www/
mkdir site-name && cd site-name && mkdir htdocs && cd htdocs
wp core download
wp core config --dbname=site-name --dbuser=root --dbpass=root

# Before you install the site, you'll need to create the DB. I just pull up phpMyAdmin and create it there.
wp core install --url=site-name.dev --title=Site --admin_user=admin --admin_pass=password [email protected]

# Create the files "vvv-hosts" and "vvv-nginx.conf"

# Lastly, make the machine aware of the new site
sudo /srv/config/homebin/vagrant_kick

vagrant_kick

# create this file in /srv/config/homebin and chmod +x it (while ssh'ed into the vagrant machine)

# Example configuration file for nginx
#
# To add a new local WordPress domain to your environment, copy
# this file using a filename that matches the domain you wish to
# setup. For example - mylocaldomain.com.conf would be an ideal 
# filename for http://mylocaldomain.com
#
# Once copied, you will need to modify two settings in the server
# configuration provided:
#
# 1. server_name - Change the server_name parameter in the server
#                  configuration below to mylocaldomain.com
# 2. root        - Change root to the full path that your WordPress
#                  site lives at inside Vagrant. An example would be
#                  /srv/www/mylocal-wordpress
#
# You do not need to worry about modifying the listen or include
# parameters as those are the same across all test sites for most
# basic WordPress configurations.
#
# Once your new domain has been added, make sure to restart the
# nginx process by running `vagrant provision` in your local
# environment or `sudo service nginx restart` after `vagrant ssh`
