3.2 Sharing Your Local Vagrant Instance
Hi. And welcome back to Easy Node.js Development Environment With Vagrant. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to share your running Vagrant instance with others. First, start your box with Vagrant up if it's not running. Then you will need to log in with your Atlas credentials, do that with Vagrant login. You can sign up for free on atlas.hashicorp.com if you haven't already in the last lesson. After you have authenticated, you simply have to run vagrant share. And Vagrant will automatically set up a share and provide you with a URL you can send to others. It even detected to note at running on port 4000 and reroutes port 80 to it when someone is using the link. Now you can visit the generated link and it will load our Nodes app as usual. This works from everywhere in the world. Another even cooler way to use the sharing feature is to use the -ssh option. You will need to provide a password you can choose here, through the other person. When the share is set up, summary of the URL and the password and use vagrant connect on this and to open up an SSH session to your virtual machine. This is extremely useful when you've got a problem and another person is trying to help you solve it. They can even see your source files and use a text editor inside the box to edit them.
