Homestead starts several services by default however if your configuration overrides one of these defaults you can specify which services you would like to enable or disable during provisioning. For example if you only needed PostgreSQL 12 your services: configuration in Homestead.yaml might look like:
This configuration would ensure postgresql@12-main service would be enabled and mysql would be disabled from starting at boot. The specified services will also be started or stopped based on their location in enabled and disabled sections.
New Default Versions
Ubuntu 20.04
MySQL 8 (mysql8 feature script removed)
Node 14
General Notes
RabbitMQ, MongoDB do not currently support Ubuntu 20.04 🚨 (as of 5/16/20)
MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL databases will only be created if the respective services are running.
Apache is now installed and disabled by default which should result in faster provisioning for site type apache.
SSL certificates are now installed at /etc/ssl/certificates instead of /etc/nginx/ssl
Wildcard SSL
Homestead configures a self-signed SSL certificate for each site defined in the sites: section of your Homestead.yaml file. If you would like to generate a wildcard SSL certificate for a site you may add a wildcard option to that site's configuration. By default the site will use the wild card certificate instead of the specific domain certificate.
- map: foo.domain.test
to: /home/vagrant/domain
wildcard: "yes"
If the use_wildcard option is set to no, the wildcard certificate will be generated but will not be used:
- map: foo.domain.test
to: /home/vagrant/domain
wildcard: "yes"
use_wildcard: "no"
