Customize Laravel Homestead server settings? -

is possible use laravel homestead , change of settings of server created?

for example, perhaps want different version of php,mysql or ubuntu.

i looked through homestead source couldn't see these defined.

the laravel/homestead virtual machine (hosted on vagrant cloud) built of below pre-installed:

• php 5.6
• hhvm
• nginx
• mysql
• postgres
• node (with bower, grunt, , gulp)
• redis
• memcached
• beanstalkd
• laravel envoy
• blackfire profiler

this stop need complex , lengthy provisioning process prior vm being usable.

you have few options achieve want:

1. (recommended option) add own bash scripts homesteads after.sh remove / add software required. downside script run on every vagrant up , need check first if package want install installed.

2. add own provisioning homestead vagrant file. if follow route, i'd recommend fork homestead project on github , use fork changes. can in provisioner can in shell of vm. example latest version of php source , configure && make it, whilst removing old version. take in further reading below on how started vagrant if haven't already.

3. build own vm. homestead box isn't quite enough , need build vm customers specific environment quickly. use vagrant, chef, and/or ansible achieve although last 2 wouldn't recommend until you've built few boxes using vagrant. illuminate/homestead repository excellent starting point understanding vagrant (be prepared swift introduction ruby if have never used before).

the packages / provisioners mentioned here personal preference. there plenty of other known , feasible packages provision infrastructure
