How to include a file in vagrant vbox - vagrant

Lets say I'm running an instance of a box. How to include a file that physically resides in the same directory as box and vagrantfile? I suppose I need to state that in the vagrantfile. How should that include look?
My vagrantfile (excluding the comments) is:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant_data"
Running the box I get:
(...)
default: SSH auth method: private key
default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...
default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...
I can 'vagrant ssh' into it, but theres no /vagrant_data folder available

From vagrant doc
By default, Vagrant shares your project directory (remember, that is the one with the Vagrantfile) to the /vagrant directory in your
guest machine.
Note that when you vagrant ssh into your machine, you're in /home/vagrant. /home/vagrant is a different directory from the synced
/vagrant directory.
so if you have a file that physically resides in the same directory as vagrantfile you will be able to access in the VM from the /vagrant directory.

Homestead with HyperV unable to create SMB folders - mount error(2): No such file or directory

After running vagrant up I get the following error message.
Vagrant requires administrator access to create SMB shares and
may request access to complete setup of configured shares.
==> homestead: Setting hostname...
==> homestead: Mounting SMB shared folders...
homestead: C:/Code => /home/*****/code
Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because
the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that
the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and
can work properly. The command attempted was:
mount -t cifs -o vers=3.02,credentials=/etc/smb_creds_vgt-07cc5c30ef2cc20d12e837c88c36370a-66f0bd5cbca4d218f5f0b8a5f1712727,uid=1000,gid=1000,mfsymlinks,_netdev,nofail //169.254.x.x/vgt-07cc5c30ef2cc20d12e837c88c36370a-66f0bd5cbca4d218f5f0b8a5f1712727 /home/*****/code
The error output from the last command was:
mount error(2): No such file or directory
I am able to ssh into the HyperV instance and when I run the command it returns the same. If I look at the properties of C:/Code folder I can see the network path is \\PCNAME\vgt-07cc5c30ef2cc20d12e837c88c36370a-66f0bd5cbca4d218f5f0b8a5f1712727 so the same as the mount command other than the PCNAME is now an IP. I can ping the IP from within the instance and seems to work ok.
Homestead file:
folders:

The vagrant user has full permissions to the local code folder.
I am running Windows 11, Vagrant 2.3.1, HyperV 10. The External Switch is set-up via my Wi-Fi - could that cause an issue?

how to solve this SMB share folder when vagrant sync folder fail in this case?

I have a vagrant in my Win10 PC.
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "generic/centos7"

Laravel 5.3 Homestead Installation on Win 10

Following >> https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/homestead
bash init.sh
cp: overwrite '/c/Users/myuser/.homestead/Homestead.yaml'? y
cp: overwrite '/c/Users/myuser/.homestead/after.sh'?
cp: overwrite '/c/Users/myuser/.homestead/aliases'?
Homestead initialized!
I don't know if these needs to be overwritten ?
Also , I configure homestead.yaml
folders:
- map: ~/Homestead
to: /home/vagrant/Code
It is showing error[The host path of the shared folder is missing: ~/Homestead]
My homestead installation is

Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that
Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within
the configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.
If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that
Vagrant had when attempting to connect to the machine. These errors
are usually good hints as to what may be wrong.
If you're using a custom box, make sure that networking is properly
working and you're able to connect to the machine. It is a common
problem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes.
Verify that authentication configurations are also setup properly,
as well.
If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase
the timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value.
Yes, you should overwrite these files so as to have a clean installation of Homestead (just in case). Now, the reason you are getting this error is because your YAML configuration is wrong. Assuming you have your Laravel code in a Code folder in your Documents folder, your YAML should look like this (NB: this is Windows specific!):
folders:
- map: "C:/Users/Username/Documents/Code"
to: "/home/vagrant/Code"
You need to map the folder containing your local code to a folder in your virtual machine. This will then be set up using shared folders. This way, any code changes in your Code folder will be mirrored to your VM.
Personally, I prefer the Per Project Installation because I can have multiple projects running on different VMs mapped to different domains, at the same time. Check it out here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/homestead#per-project-installation

Use nfs to for default folder with vagrant

I want to migrate a big project (5000 files) to vagrant with virtualbox.
Virtualbox shared folders is known to be slow for big project, so I want to use NFS.
But, I don't find the right way to use NFS instead of the default shared folder issue. It works when I put code in another folder, and share it. But I want to integrate Vagrant in the current one.
config.vm.synced_folder '.', '/vagrant', nfs: true
doesn't work:
exportfs: duplicated export entries:
exportfs: 10.11.12.13:/home/vincent/workspace/gp
exportfs: 10.11.12.13:/home/vincent/workspace/gp
Any idea to solve this strange issue?
Thank you.
Update 1
Same error with these parameters
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/home/vagrant/gp", nfs: true
Here is the full error stack:

Stdout from the command:
Stderr from the command:
stdin: is not a tty
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 10.11.12.1:/home/vincent/workspace/gp
You may need to explicitly disable the default synced folder by adding the following line in your Vagrantfile so as to mount the NFS share to /vagrant
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
After than do a vagrant reload and see if it works.
In addition, consider using rsync type synced folder for your use case, I think it works even better. See https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/synced-folders/rsync.html
You can also get this error message if you are trying to create a vm in a directory above another previously created vm. You will need to destroy the the vm's in each sub-directory.

Why is Vagrant hosting my project directory on the guest machine?

For a project with a file /foo/bar/Vagrantfile, Vagrant shares/syncs /foo/bar on the host machine as /vagrant on the guest machine.
Why is it doing this? It appears to be undesirable: the whole point is achieving isolation, but this sharing destroys isolation: a buggy VM can delete my project directory, and my tinkering with my project can affect the VM.
So, what is the point of this? Is it necessary for something I've overlooked?
Vagrant by default sync the project directory (where Vagrantfile resides) with /vagrant within the guest.
If it is NOT desired, it can be disabled by explicitly disable the synced folder config in Vagrantfile and then a vagrant reload is needed.
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
If one-off or manual sync is required, use the new rsync type added in vagrant 1.5.x.
