## Distributing Boxes
|
|
|
|
To distribute the box to your team, update your Vagrantfile to reference the
|
|
box on Vagrant Cloud.
|
|
|
|
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
|
|
config.vm.box = "username/example-box"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
Now when a team member runs `vagrant up`, the box will be downloaded from Vagrant Cloud.
|
|
If the box is private, the team member will be prompted to authorize access. Users
|
|
are granted access to private resources by logging in with a Vagrant Cloud username and
|
|
password or by using a shared Vagrant Cloud token.
|
|
[Learn more about authorization options here](/docs/vagrant-cloud/users/authentication.html).
|
|
|
|
## Private Boxes
|
|
|
|
If you create a private box, only you (the owner) and collaborators
|
|
will be able to access it. This is valuable if you
|
|
have information, data or provisioning in your box
|
|
that cannot be public.
|
|
|
|
Private boxes will be excluded from the box catalog.
|
|
|
|
### Collaborators
|
|
|
|
Collaborators can be both teams in
|
|
organizations or individual users.
|
|
|
|
To add a collaborator:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the "Access" page of a box via the sidebar
|
|
2. Enter the username or team name and submit the form
|
|
3. You'll now see an the user or team in the list of collaborators,
|
|
and if necessary a collaborator can be removed
|
|
|
|
### Vagrant Login
|
|
|
|
In order to access these private boxes from Vagrant, you'll need to first
|
|
authenticate with your Vagrant Cloud account.
|
|
|
|
1. Run `vagrant login`
|
|
2. Enter your credentials
|
|
|
|
You should now be logged in. We use these credentials to request
|
|
a unique authentication token that is stored locally by Vagrant. Your
|
|
username or password is never stored on your machine.
|
|
|
|
### 404 Not Found
|
|
|
|
If you don't authenticate, you will likely receive a `404 Not Found`
|
|
error in Vagrant. We return a 404 for security reasons, so a potential
|
|
attacker could not verify if a private box exists.
