Laravel project wont serve to given ip via Homestead - laravel

Question

I am having trouble setting up my laravel project on my mac. I have (As far as I can tell) set up the homestead.yaml config correctly within my Homestead directory:
---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 2
provider: virtualbox
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: ~/Documents/GitHub/project-darwin
to: /home/vagrant/code
sites:
- map: homestead.test
to: /home/vagrant/code/public
php: "7.2"
databases:
- homestead
After I have used vagrant up, on using vagrant ssh I can see my project inside of vagrant/code/project-darwin.
My hosts file is as follows:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
192.168.10.10 homestead.test
Which looks correct as is no different to what I normally do when running other laravel projects on virtualbox, however on going to my url, I get a 500 error and the same applies if I go directly to the ip (198.168.10.10).
A further thing I find suspicious is the following. When I use vagrant up, this is part of what shows in my terminal:
homestead-7: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
homestead-7: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
homestead-7: SSH username: vagrant
Should this ip be the same as the ip I supplied? Anyway, I have run out of ideas as to how to go about fixing this, any suggestions?

So it turns out my mac had auto selected . hyperv as my provider when I ran vagrant box add laravel/homestead, oh well..

Answer 2

In your Homestead.yaml config file you are doing the following:
Making a shared folder mapping project-darwin to /home/vagrant/code
folders:
- map: ~/Documents/GitHub/project-darwin
to: /home/vagrant/code
But under sites you are mapping the folder /home/vagrant/code/public to homestead.test, meaning when you are requesting homestead.test or the IP of your Vagrant Box, you are not calling upon project-darwin but rather the "empty" public folder.
sites:
- map: homestead.test
to: /home/vagrant/code/public
I would recommend either moving your code to the public folder or mapping sites to your desired destination.
Hope this helps :)
