Homestead 32-bit Version

## Making a 32 bit version of Homestead

# Clone the settler repository to a directory
git clone https://github.com/laravel/settler.git Ubuntu32

# In that directory edit the file called "Vagrantfile" to use a ubuntu 32 box instead of the 64 bit one

change this line:

    config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"

to:

    config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty32"

# Boot up vagrant to build the box (long wait here)
vagrant up

## Packaging the new version as a Vagrant box

# Stop the running vm
vagrant halt

# Find out what name the vm has

1. open the virtualbox gui
2. find your stopped vm
3. get the full name

In my case it was "Ubuntu32_default_1405697550368_94814"

# Have vagrant package your new install as a bew box
vagrant package --base Ubuntu32_default_1405697550368_94814 --output homestead32.box

# Add your new box to vagrant
vagrant box add homestead32.box --name Homestead32

# Check that your new box is listed and available
vagrant box list

## Getting the Homestad file to play with your new box

# Get the homestead files
git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git Homestead32

# Change Homestad to use your custom box instead of the 64 bit one

1.  edit scripts/homestead.rb
2.  change the box to be used

    this:
    
    config.vm.box = "laravel/homestead"
    
    to this:
    
    config.vm.box = "Homestead32"
    
    Or whatever you called your box file when you added it to vagrant
    
# Now continue setting up your Homestead file as usual editing "Homestead.yaml", etc.

# Start your new vm
vagrant up

## Done!  Now you have a Homestead 32-bit vm.
