Share
Now that we have a web server up and running and accessible from your machine, we have a fairly functional development environment. But in addition to providing a development environment, Vagrant also makes it easy to share and collaborate on these environments. The primary feature to do this in Vagrant is called Vagrant Share.
Vagrant Share lets you share your Vagrant environment to anyone around the world. It will give you a URL that will route directly to your Vagrant environment from any device in the world that is connected to the internet.
Login to HashiCorp's Atlas
Before being able to share your Vagrant environment, you'll need an account on HashiCorp's Atlas. Don't worry, it's free.
Once you have an account, log in using vagrant login:
$ vagrant login
Username or Email: mitchellh
Password (will be hidden):
You're now logged in!
Share
Once you're logged in, run vagrant share:
$ vagrant share
...
==> default: Your Vagrant Share is running!
==> default: URL: http://frosty-weasel-0857.vagrantshare.com
...
Your URL will be different, so don't try the URL above. Instead, copy
the URL that vagrant share outputted for you and visit that in a web
browser. It should load the Apache page we setup earlier.
If you modify the files in your shared folder and refresh the URL, you'll see it update! The URL is routing directly into your Vagrant environment, and works from any device in the world that is connected to the internet.
To end the sharing session, hit Ctrl+C in your terminal. You can refresh
the URL again to verify that your environment is no longer being shared.
Vagrant Share is much more powerful than simply HTTP sharing. For more details, see the complete Vagrant Share documentation.
