Notes on Project Structure
--------------------------
- After running either ``yurt existing`` or ``yurt new_project`` inside an empty directory ("new_proj") this is the structure:

.. code-block:: shell

new_proj
|_ Vagrantfile
|_ project_repo
|_ manage.py
|_ requirements.txt
|_ config
| |_ settings
| | |_ base.py
| | |_ local.py
| |
| |_ urls.py
| |_ wsgi.py
|
|_ orchestration
|_ env_vars
| |_ base.yml
| |_ vagrant.yml
|
|_ inventory
| |_ vagrant
|
|_ roles
| |_ {{ all the Ansible roles }}
|
|_ appservers.yml
|_ dbservers.yml
|_ site.yml
|_ vagrant.yml

Vagrant Notes
-------------
- Use the command ``vagrant ssh`` to SSH into the Vagrant VM
- On the Vagrant VM, the application code is in ``/server/<project_name>`` and the virtualenv is in ``/server/.virtualenvs/<project_name>``
- VM is provisioned with Ansible for the first time when calling ``vagrant up``
- Re-provisioning with Ansible can be called with ``vagrant provision``
