File Sharing¶
Sharing types¶
| Share type | Windows | Linux/macOS | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NFS | no | yes | Fastest and reliable |
| CIFS | yes | yes | Fast and reliable |
| SMB | yes | yes | old Protocol, use CIFS |
| none | yes | yes | Slow on VirtualBox |
Linux/MacOS¶
By default your home directory is mounted into the VM so files from outside are available inside the Vagrant Docker VM.
You can customize mounting inside the vm.yml.
For sharing NFS is used and is a stable and fast solution for sharing data between the VM and your host system. When encounting slowdown in VirtualBox you should try to switch to VMware or Parallels.
Windows¶
On windows no directory is shared by default and sharing needs to be defined in vm.yml.
As alternative there is a /home/vagrant/projects directory which can be access by using SMB/CIFS (windows shares)
