Host usage

The ynh-dev tool provides 2 usefull command to run into your host machine. One create a development environment by cloning Git repositories, the other one is a helper to run a Vagrant virtual machine in the right place.

./ynh-dev create-env /path/to/dev/env

Run a container

cd /path/to/dev/env
./ynh-dev run ynh.local virtualbox testing

You'll be automatically logged in the VM through ssh.

You probably wan't to run the postinstall now:

(sudo) yunohost tools postinstall -d ynh.local

## Inside the Virtual machine (VM)

Once logged into your VM, go to /vagrant to enjoy folder sharing, and take advantages of the ynh-dev script.

Upgrade the container

It will update every debian packages, including YunoHost ones.

/vagrant/ynh-dev upgrade

Use Git repositories

When doing create-env command, every YunoHost package have been cloned in the corresponding path. Use these Git repositories inside the VM (with symlink). Your changes will be available immediatly in your VM.

/vagrant/ynh-dev use-git

Note: These changes can be reverted now.

Alternatively you can use Git only for one packages (ssowat, yunohost, moulinette, yunohost-admin)
