How to declare plugin options (`version`, `activate`, etc.) in vvv-custom.yml ?

[looshi]

Is it possible to declare plugins and plugin options in vvv-custom.yml ?

I don't see any information about how to declare plugins in vvv-custom.yml in the vvv documentation here: https://varyingvagrantvagrants.org/docs/en-US/vvv-config/.

For example:

      plugins:
        - { plugin: "akismet", activate: true, etc. }  # Doesn't seem to work.

      plugins:
        - akismet  # Seems to work, but can't set any options 

Here is the full vvv-custom.yml that I am trying to use.

After editing I run vagrant reload --provision.

After the vagrant provisioner has completed, if I visit the admin portion of the site no plugins are installed :

thanks!

Hello! I’m on my phone at the moment but your “my-site” site is using the standard custom site template, yet it has definitions for things the site template does not support such as xipio etc, not all site templates work the same and it looks like you’ve copy pasted a definition from a 3rd party site template

Look at the readme for the site template for a full list of what it supports, otherwise you’ll need to fork it and modify the provision to do the custom provisioning you desire

vm_config controls how Vagrant provisions the virtual machine, and can be used to

increase the memory given to VVV and the number of CPU cores.

It can also be used to override the default provider being used within Vagrant.

vm_config:

For WP core development we recommend at least 2GB ( 2048 ),

If you have 4GB of RAM, lower this to 768MB or you may encounter issues

memory: 2048

CPU cores:

cores: 2

this tells VVV to use the prebuilt box copied from the USB drive at contributor days

once set to false, do not change back to true, and reprovision

wordcamp_contributor_day_box: false

Due to a limitation within Vagrant, the specified provider is only respected on a clean vagrant up

as Vagrant currently restricts you to one provider per machine

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/providers/basic_usage.html#vagrant-up

provider: vmware_workstation

General VVV options

general:

Backup the databases to the database/backups subfolder on halt/suspend/destroy, set to false to disable

db_backup: true

Import the databases if they're missing from backups

db_restore: true

set to true to use a synced shared folder for MariaDB database storage

db_share_type: false

GitHub token to use from composer

github_token: xxxxxx

After the vagrant provisioner has completed, if I visit the admin portion of the site no plugins are installed :

@tomjn okay, thanks.

Check at https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/custom-site-template/. Right now is not possible to specify versions but only the plugin to install and activate
