How to access Vagrant Box in public network - vagrant

I had created on e box inside vagrant. In the Vagrantfile, I had given the network as
Create a private network, which allows host-only access to the machine
# using a specific IP.
# config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.10"
# Create a public network, which generally matched to bridged network.
# Bridged networks make the machine appear as another physical device on
# your network.
config.vm.network :public_network
I can't access the VagrantBox outside the VLAN. I need to access the Vagrant Box in public network. How to configure vagrantfile in such a way that I need to access in public network?

Uncomment the line in Vagrantfile
config.vm.network :public_network
The file will look like below
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
config.vm.box = "box_name"
config.vm.network :public_network
end
Save it, restart the VM by using vagrant reload.
For VirtualBox, it'll use Bridged mode for networking. Which means the VM will acquire an IP address from the DHCP server for the VLAN.
You can also set the VLAN IP with: config.vm.network :public_network, ip: "192.168.0.160"
Refer to => Public Network

By default, vagrant deletes the default (working) route on additional bridged networks inside the VMs. My problem which was specific for DHCP could only be solved by configuring the bridged network as follows:
config.vm.network :public_network, :bridge => 'em1',:use_dhcp_assigned_default_route => true

There maybe an equivalent for static IPs.

I was unable to figure this out using anything I read (which was hours and hours of research). Instead, this is how I figured it out:
Below is my Vagrantfile. The important part for me was config.vm.network :public_network. After reloading vagrant with vagrant reload, I chose the first option of the 4 available bridged network interfaces (I’m not sure if I chose the correct one by luck, or if any would have worked, I’ll experiment), then sshed into the vagrant box with vagrant ssh, did ifconfig, chose one of the 3 ip addresses that it output, pasted that into my browser, and it worked.
The thing no one else seemed to talk about was sshing into the vagrant box and finding one of the ip addresses there. I hope maybe this helps some other networking newb in the future.

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", 4092, "--cpus", 2, "--name", "Bahmni-RPM"]
end
end

Finally! This is years later but I couldn't find more current info. For me, the problem was that I not only had a private network defined, but also a forwarded port, and all that was working well. I then commented out the private_network, replaced it with public_network, and couldn't reach anything. Tried everything I found here and elsewhere, no go. It's only when I commented out the port forwarding that things started working again, without any of the manual bridging/dhcp configuration rigamarole suggested.

Single VM environment
you can use command: vagrant ssh
Multi VM environment
you can use command: vagrant ssh {hostname}

vagrant private network fails to resolve on windows 10 host

I can't get anything to work. I have windows 10 as my host and my guest VM is centos/7 box. It works great with forwarded_ports but using private_network setting nothing resolves. I'm not sure what to do or check
vagrant file look like
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "bento/centos-7.4"
config.vm.synced_folder "./website", "/var/www/html/", :mount_options => ["dmode=777", "fmode=777"], owner: "apache", group: "apache"
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4"
## Bootstrap script to provision box. All installation methods can go here.
config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
s.path = "bootstrap.sh"
end
end
My ifconfig on guest looks like
My virtualbox shows two adapters
I get nothing when I browse to the IP on windows
It actually had nothing to do with vagrant. It was all set up correctly, but my magento site had a weird error. Thanks to Frederic for taking the time!

Networking errors causing vagrant machine not to start up

I ran into the following error when I execute "vagrant up" command.
The specified host network collides with a non-hostonly network!
This will cause your specified IP to be inaccessible. Please change
the IP or name of your host only network so that it no longer matches that of
a bridged or non-hostonly network.
Vagrant file:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |o|
o.vm.box="centos/7"
o.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.1.13"
o.vm.provision "shell", :path=>"setup.sh"
end
setup.sh:
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y install vim,git,gedit,nmap
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Nothing is started but I see a machine in Virtual box and I double click and I start as usual. Could assign static IP but no network to outside world. Not sure where the things are going wrong.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
I'm not sure I've seen that particular error before. However I do have some Vagrant (VirtualBox) VMs that use both a private network to talk to each other, and NAT to talk to the wider world.
I make sure these don't conflict by specifying different private IPv4 network ranges for each. For example:
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
# host-only interface address
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.0.2"
# NAT interface address range
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--natnet1", "172.16.0.0/12"]
end
end

Connecting my vagrant and another VM in VirtualBox

For my web development, I use a vagrant install to run a local instance of the website with the following config:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "scotch/box"
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: 4567, guest: 80
config.vm.hostname = "some-website"
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/var/www/public", :mount_options => ["dmode=777", "fmode=666"]
config.vm.provision :shell, path: "bootstrap.sh", :args => "some-website", privileged: false
end
This website is accessible in the browser on the specified IP.
However, I also have VM's for cross browser testing and these VM's don't have access to the IP address of the Vagrant box.
I need them to connect, because I want to do cross browser testing on that locally running vagrant box.
A couple of StackOverflow searches gave me the option of changing the private_network to a public_network, but then I can't access the IP anymore.
Also adding virtualbox__intnet: true doesn't work.
Would anyone be able to come up with a solution for this? It would be great if I could access the IP from the IE9 VM, directly into the Vagrant VM.
So, to clarify, currently:
Laptop can access Vagrant (laptop -> VM)
IE9 VM can't access Vagrant (VM -!> VM)
What I want:
Laptop can access Vagrant (laptop -> VM)
IE9 VM can access Vagrant (VM -> VM)
As Frédéric pointed out: the private_network is actually accessible from another VM on the same host.
My problem seemed to be WordPress itself and not related to Vagrant or the VM setup.

Vagrant - PhpStorm - Laravel - HTTP Where can I access my local website?

I am new to to Php/Laravel and VMs world.
I booted up vagrant with this Vagrantfile:

# sudo apt-get install -y apache2
# SHELL
end
I've tried expirimenting using vagrant commands from their documentation, plus modifying the Vagrantfile without success.
What I want is a similar "site mapping" expirience, just like when you edit the Homestead.yaml file. Plus what is supposed to be the default way?
create a folder in your host machine something like
c:/projects/devpeople
Modify your Vagrant file like this
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080
or you can change the port like this
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8081
see below
create a folder in your virtual machine
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
cd var/www
mkdir devpeople
So your virtual machine should have a folder like this
/var/www/devpeople
Then you can put your projects in your host machine
So the Vagrant sync folder will look like this
config.vm.synced_folder "c:/projects/devpeople", "/var/www/devpeople"
Run
vagrant up
and access your development site
localhost:8081
If the folder does not "sync", run
vagrant halt
to restart vagrant
then
vagrant up
You will need to forward ports from within your VM to the host. Here is an example from my Vagrantfile for Payara:
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 4848, host: 4849
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 8080, host: 8081
So because I know that Payara uses ports 4848 and 8080 by default, I have forwarded them to similar ports on my host (to avoid clashes).
So if I went to http://localhost:4849 after running vagrant up, I would be redirected to port 4848 within the VM, as though it was running locally.
Looking into the Laravel documentation, it looks like the following ports are the ones you need to make sure are available:
SSH: 2222 → Forwards To 22
HTTP: 8000 → Forwards To 80
HTTPS: 44300 → Forwards To 443
MySQL: 33060 → Forwards To 3306
Postgres: 54320 → Forwards To 5432
The docs imply that this is done by default, though, so you may want to try using them first to make sure.
Well I missed a vital step in the laravel documentation. The proper way to setup your vagrant box is by cloning the "setup" files from the
laravel/homestead repository.
So in order to access the server you simply edit the sites, on the Homstead.yaml file.

vagrant add an interface without setting an IP address

I'm working through the puppet openstack instructions, and one of the requirements is as follows:
Each of the machines running the Openstack services should have a minimum of 2 NICS.
One for the public/internal network. This nic should be assigned an IP address
One of the virtual machine network. This nic should not have an ipaddress assigned
I've tried to specify a private network in Vagrant without an address, but hit the following error when calling vagrant up:
* An IP is required for a private network.
My first thought is to run a provision script to set the network, but there are warnings not to modify the network configuration files (the box is CentOS):
[vagrant#localhost ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
#VAGRANT-BEGIN
# The contents below are automatically generated by Vagrant. Do not modify.
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.55.5
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DEVICE=eth2
PEERDNS=no
#VAGRANT-END
Any ideas will be appreciated!
In the end, I created an 'unmanaged' network card by adding a virtualbox internal network:
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nic2", "intnet"]
This works:
config.vm.network :private_network, ip: ""
You can try this:
node.vm.network :private_network, "ip": '0.0.0.0', auto_network: true
