How to access a vagrant guest from another virtualbox guest?


Adrian Garner

The scenario is that my development environment is on a Vagrant box on a laptop (host) and I want to do browser testing in a vitualbox vm, so I need to look at another vm.

The port of the vagrant box is: 8080, which is forwarded to the host on the same port: 8080. So I can see the server from the host at localhost:8080

Which address should the browser test VM use?

Test the default gateway of the virtual machine? Vagrant vm's ip? The virtual network IP of the host?

Should I use NAT or a host-only adapter on the browser of the test VM?

This brings up a lot of combinations and I'm sure I've tried all of them. What else do I need to know here?

In your use case, you should use a bridged network (public network in Vagrant). You can even use internal (private network in Vagrant) if the virtual machine is on the same host.

If a public network is used, the VM's second NIC will be able to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in the network (such as a home router).

Just add the following code block in your computer Vagrantfileand executevagrant reload

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.network "public_network"
end

You should be able to use vagrant sshand ifconfig/ obtain the IP address ip addr show.
