This is a simple VM that has a network setup that allows for easy testing of a web server.
The network is setup so that the VM is completely accessible only from the host at <192.168.56.10>. Ping, ssh, using the web all work with that address.
The host points point 8080 to the VM's port 80. So if someone
outside the host wants to access the VM, they can visit
http://<host_ip>:8080 in their browser and see the VM server.
This requires Vagrant and Virtualbox. In theory any version should work, but my experience has been that this is not always the case. This has been tested with the following:
$ virtualenv.exe --version
16.0.0
$ vagrant -v
Vagrant 2.1.2
The commands below must be run from the directory with the Vagrantfile
- To create the VM, run
vagrant up - To access the VM, run
vagrant ssh
Alternatively, you can use ssh using:
ssh -i .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key -A vagrant@192.168.56.10
This will let you download code onto the VM.
