Enable HTTPS for a VIP Local Development Environment
By default, VIP Local Development Environment URLs resolve with HTTP rather than HTTPS, the secure browsing protocol. When developing locally, some users may have a need for URLs to resolve at HTTPS (e.g. applications with payment integrations). For HTTPS to work as expected, a trusted digital certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA certificate) for the local environment must be added to the user’s machine.
Configuration file for a VIP Local Development Environment
A custom configuration file enables a VIP Local Development Environment with specific settings to be created in a repeatable manner. If the configuration file is committed to an application’s source-controlled GitHub repository, multiple team members with access to that repository can use the file to create VIP Local Development Environments with identical settings.
Cache-control headers
The cache-control HTTP header provides an instructional value for controlling the caching of requests and responses in an end-user’s browser.
Flush the object cache
The object cache can be flushed with the WP-CLI command wp cache flush. WP-CLI commands must be run with VIP-CLI.
Enable HTTP request Log Shipping
When enabled, HTTP Request Log Shipping ships copies of an application’s HTTP request logs at 5-minute intervals to a customer’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 buckets.
Database Backup Shipping
VIP's Database Backup Shipping feature makes it possible to ship database backups at regular intervals to an AWS S3 bucket managed by an organization.
Advanced usage
The VIP Local Development Environment is built to be as identical to a VIP Platform environment as possible, and designed to allow for a wide variety of options needed in local development. Once a user gains familiarity with dev-env commands and options, more advanced techniques and customizations can be explored when working with a local environment.
