@whikloj, @DiegoPino want to take a look at this? First pass at yanking out Drupal 7, and dropping in Drupal 8.

Running vagrant up

Came up fine, there are 3 minor issues on the Status report we could deal with.

1. Search API

   The default Drupal Search module is still enabled. If you are using Search API, you probably want to uninstall the Search module for performance reasons.

   I'm very new to Drupal 8, but it seems like Search API is for making search interfaces and Search is just a generic ready-made search. I'm guessing that long-term we are going to want Search API. Thoughts?

2. Trusted Host Settings

   The trusted_host_patterns setting is not configured in settings.php. This can lead to security vulnerabilities. It is highly recommended that you configure this. See Protecting against HTTP HOST Header attacks for more information.

   No brainer, looks like for vagrant we should add the block

   $settings['trusted_host_patterns'] = array(
   '^localhost$',
   );
   

   to the sites/default/settings.php file.

3. Twig C extension

   Enabling the Twig C extension can greatly increase rendering performance. See the installation instructions for more detail.

   Again, we love improved performance. Looks like we install Twig with composer and build the C extensions into PHP.
