nanobox new to generate a new app

Open philipgiuliani opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

After using nanobox for some weeks and migrating some projects, I noticed that I have to look up the boxfile of my old projects and on the nanobox-quickstarts on github every time to configure it.

It would be nice to have a generator for a boxfile which would support all the engines and frameworks.

Use cases:

  • nanobox new elixir . - Generate the default elixir boxfile.yml in the current folder.
  • nanobox new rails my_project - Generate a new folder and add an default boxfile for rails applications.

I'm not sure where all this boxfiles should be. Maybe there should be an own repository which contains a set of default boxfiles? I'm sure you'll figure out! 😃

This is a great idea. I love it. We'd probably want to add a bit of templating as well. I'm gonna put some thought into this. I like it.
