Add media to a VIP Local Development Environment
Media files can be uploaded, imported, or proxied to a running VIP Local Development Environment. It is recommended to import media files after a VIP Local Development Environment is confirmed to be up and running and has been configured to run with locally cloned application code.
Update a local environment to load application code
The VIP Local Development Environment is designed specifically for code development and testing for a VIP Platform application. A VIP Local Development Environment can be configured to run with a local git clone of an application’s wpcomvip GitHub repository. A local environment running with application code will respond to updates made to the local code without restarting, including code changes resulting from branch switching initiated by a git command.
Validate a SQL database file
The vip import validate-sql VIP-CLI command scans the format of a SQL database file for errors and potential incompatibilities with VIP Platform databases. The scan does not validate if the SQL will execute successfully after import.
Set up a third-party local development app
VIP recommends setting up a local development environment with the VIP Local Development Environment feature built into VIP-CLI. The steps outlined here are a separate and alternative method for setting up a local environment for applications such as Chassis or @wordpress/env.
Remove a user
Remove a user’s access to an organization’s VIP Dashboard and their ability to interact with an organization’s applications.
Edit user roles
Edit a user’s access permissions by updating the Org roles or App roles assigned to them. A user’s Org role and App role define the permissions they have to interact with an organization’s applications.
Invite new users
Invite new users to have access to an organization’s VIP Dashboard, and assign Org roles and App roles to them that will define the permissions they have to interact with an organization’s applications.
Debug a Node.js application
Debugging against a remote environment, such as a VIP Platform environment, can be limiting and challenging. For this reason, it is recommended to debug Node.js application issues on a local development environment. Make an effort to reproduce issues locally, and to keep the local development environment in close synchronization with remote environments.
HTTP Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS)
The VIP Platform supports and strongly encourages the use of the HTTP Strict-Transport-Security response header (HSTS). This header informs browsers that a site should only be accessed using HTTPS , and that any future attempts to access the site using HTTP will automatically be converted to HTTPS.
