- marcamillion 13y agoI have been looking at Vagrant for a while - but it seems like just another VM packaging system to me. Am I mistaken, or will my Rails environment not sit in a VM in a Vagrant instance?
- rurounijones 13y agoIt will sit in a VM. Vagrant creates a VirtualBox (default) VM, uses chef / puppet (preferably) to set the environment up then you link the host's rails directory to a suitable location on the VM. So yes, the environment is a VM, you can use "vagrant ssh" to access that VM easily enough but for coding you use your usual code directory on the host with your usual editor.
