Wow, it doesn't rely on VirtualBox anymore? I remember using it before for the development environment of an old company, and that being a small nuisance.
Nowadays, Docker is really miles ahead in terms of usage in development environments. Vagrant was pretty easy to set-up and use back then, but now Docker is much, much easier.
- porker 9y agoI need to get into this Docker malarkey for dev machines. Running on Windows, how do you share files between the Docker image and the host machine? With Vagrant I use NFS.
- h_r 9y agoYou basically create a mount point inside the VM to a place on your host disk.
- TwelveNights 9y agoTo expand on the other commentor, check out volumes: https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/volumes/volumes/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/volumes/volumes/.
- aidenn0 9y agoVagrant calls the backends "providers." It ships with 4 providers IIRC (VirtualBox, Hyper-V, VMWare, Docker), and there are plugins for dozens of others (it's so large a list because there's one provider each for pretty much every cloud service out there, even ones I've never heard of). I think that VirtualBox and VMWare are the only two providers that work everywhere, unless docker runs on windows now.
