Vagrant: Mounting Home Directory via NFS

  • 772

I'm running multiple VMs with the same operating system and I'd like to share my dotfiles between them. In setting up my vagrant file I originally tried:

config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/Erik/VirtualMachines/Home", "/home/vagrant", nfs: true

While I was able to log in with password, the SSH login failed - most likely becaue my home directory had the files owned by "503" and not "vagrant". When I changed this to just

config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/Erik/VirtualMachines/Home", "/home/vagrant"

Everything worked as expected, including SSH login. Is there anyway to get this to behave properly using NFS?

  1. I've not tested this but you may be able to match UID/GID between host and guest. If you're just looking to share .files it seems like the effort and possible issues wouldn't be worth it though.
