Add a DNS Alias

Nanobox lets you easily add a local URL to access your Craft app in the browser. To add a DNS alias, run the following from the root of your project (outside the Nanobox console).

nanobox dns add local nanobox-craft3.test

After you nanobox run php-server, you'd be able to access the running app at http://nanobox-craft3.test.

Developing your Project

Once the project is provisioned, simply open the project directory nanobox-craft3 in your code editor and start developing.

You can drop into a console in the environment at any time by running:

nanobox run

Your local codebase is mounted into the dev container. Any changes to the code are reflected in your dev app. You can add and load dependencies or any other dev tasks. Or you can simply start Craft.

php-server

Deployment

1. Create a new app in your Nanobox dashboard
2. Add your new app as a remote on your project:
