Host name, IP address and extra domains

Draft environment automatically manages hosts file on guest and host machines. It relies on Vagrant Host Manager plugin (will be automatically installed on host system).

Host name

Draft uses vagrant.hostname variable for constructing default domain: http://<vagrant.hostname>.test. This fact imposes restrictions on the possible value for the variable, which must be a valid domain name:

  • Allowed characters: lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), period (.) and dash (-)
  • Should not start or end with dash (-) or dot (.) (e.g. -google- or .apple.)
  • Should be between 3 and 63 characters long

Draft Environment performs validation for you upon package installation. If somehow vagrant.hostname contains invalid domain name value, vagrant up will fail with an error.

IP address

IP address for each VM is determined as a function of hostname. Assigned IP address will be in the range of 10.10.1.2 - 10.10.255.255, i.e. skip 0, 1 and 256. When running a lot (I mean a lot) of VMs simultaneously one can run into IP address conflict, but this scenario is not likely.

Extra domain (a.k.a. domain aliases)

Domain aliases can be specified by setting vagrant.host_aliases (see default.vm-settings.yml) variable. It expects an array of values, i.e. multiple aliases can be used.

IMPORTANT. Vagrant Host Manager DOES NOT update hosts file(s) on vagrant reload. Run vagrant hostmanager when aliases have been changed.
