Box architecture

To give you a less abstract idea of how your box operates:

Note: the Basebox Build Process is already done for you and is shown for completeness only.

Software

Your box runs a 64-bit version of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and comes with a bunch of useful software like PHP 7.1. Check the Virtual Machine section of your Cakebox Dashboard for an actual list.

Cakebox Commands

Use the CakePHP 3 Console powered cakebox command line to create:

• fully configured (public and private) applications

Note: These commands are also used by your Cakebox.yaml file allowing you to (re)create exact copies of your customized box including all installed applications, databases and virtual hosts.
