Generate Vagrant boxes with Laravel, HipHop, Nginx, WordPress, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, RabbitMQ etc. with one click

Excellent new web tool: Protobox allows extremely easy setup of Vagrant boxes using a wonderful web UI. Beside the standard stuff (PHP, Apache, MySQL) Protobox also offers HipHop (stable plus nightly builds!), Nginx, PHP 5.3 / 5.4 / 5.5, RabbitMQ, Beanstalkd, IronMQ, Amazon SQS, New Relic, Ngrok tunnel and pre-installed WordPress, Laravel, Drupal, Lemonstand, PyroCMS, Sylius and Symfony.

There are also pre-configured boxes (currently only one: WordPress on Nginx with PHP 5.5).

The project is open-source (so you can add you own features) and very fresh, so expect even more features in the future!
