We do web dev. The pain point for me is having to use rsync to "deploy" to the vm every time I make a change. That's a pretty decent tradeoff though when the alternative is maintaining tons of different development configurations on your host machine.
Our local deploy process is mostly scripted so it's not much of a pain point to have to redeploy new changes.
- rabh 16y agoIs it necessary to sync? I'm liking the VM ideas people have been talking about here; is it possible to just mount the guest OS' file system on the host (perhaps by running an NFS server in the VM) and develop directly on it?
- michaelbuckbee 16y agoYes, but this is highly dependent on the VM app you are running and the OS you are running it on. At a previous job I mounted drives over SSH from a windows host to a VMWare linux.
- swombat 16y agoVirtualBox and VMWare Fusion both allow you to share folders from your host OS to the VMs, you know?
