Access vagrant VM with puphpet from local network? - apache

Question

I used vagrant and puphpet for two weeks and it works great. In my case I'll just use http://myserver.dev that I added to my host file as puphpet suggest
192.168.56.101 myserver.dev
Now I want to get access to my VM:s apache www folder from another computer in my local network.
This post suggest to uncomment some lines in vagrant file, but as I use puphpet my autogenerated vagrant file looks like this:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
dir = File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))
require 'yaml'
require "#{dir}/puphpet/ruby/deep_merge.rb"
require "#{dir}/puphpet/ruby/to_bool.rb"
require "#{dir}/puphpet/ruby/puppet.rb"
configValues = YAML.load_file("#{dir}/puphpet/config.yaml")
provider = ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] ? ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] : 'local'
if File.file?("#{dir}/puphpet/config-#{provider}.yaml")
custom = YAML.load_file("#{dir}/puphpet/config-#{provider}.yaml")
configValues.deep_merge!(custom)
end
if File.file?("#{dir}/puphpet/config-custom.yaml")
custom = YAML.load_file("#{dir}/puphpet/config-custom.yaml")
configValues.deep_merge!(custom)
end
data = configValues['vagrantfile']
Vagrant.require_version '>= 1.8.1'
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
eval File.read("#{dir}/puphpet/vagrant/Vagrantfile-#{data['target']}")
end
But there are no uncomment lines.
I thought maybe I need to do something in puphpet's config.yaml?
Here's what I've found about ip and port:
machines:
vflm_azud9vpjzelv:
id: machine1
hostname: myserver.puphpet
network:
private_network: 192.168.56.101
forwarded_port:
vflmnfp_rkr38vlo4vcb:
host: '6597'
guest: '22'
memory: '512'
cpus: '1'

You have two simple choices:
Vagrant comes with the vagrant share command that opens up a publicly-accessible, random URL to your VM
Create a forwarded port from your host to your VM. For example, forward port 1080 on your host to port 80 in the VM, so when you go to http://localhost:1080 traffic will be forwarded to your VM. For this you need to set * as your Apache vhost's alias so it catches all traffic to the port you choose (in this case, 80).
