Deep Into

You have the possibility to create your own box ,create a a new dir or go to an existing project folder , do vagrant init , this will create a vagrantfile , this file is your box configuration file , just like the homestead.yaml we see before.

If you dont want to have the work of building a virtual machine from scratch vagrant have a base box that you may want to use , precise32.

vagrant box add hashicorp/precise32

Now to use it edit the vagrant file

Now you can vagrant up and ssh your box with vagrant ssh

If you want the same environment on all your team members machine this file cant be ignored by the version control system used to control the versions of yours projects.

This is why Vagrant agile your software development life cycle , one configuration file , multiple machines , a start up command and we spare multiple hours and errors.

Multiple Sites

We dont need to create a box to every project , we can use Homestead sites to handle with xNumber of projects ,we just need to add an entry on sites configuration on the yaml fille.

1. Add another entry to /etc/hosts with the box ip
2. Add another site configuration to map your application with the host
