I have been developing an automated deployment using Capistrano and using Vagrant as my test virtual server.
The thing is, I need the IP of Vagrant to "ssh into it".
I tried ifconfig and got the IP but it looks like it is not the exact vagrant IP.
Can anybody help me to get the Vagrant IP?
Answer
By default, a vagrant box doesn't have any ip address. In order to find the IP address, you simply assign the IP address in your Vagrantfile then call vagrant reload
If you just need to access a vagrant machine from only the host machine, setting up a "private network" is all you need. Either uncomment the appropriate line in a default Vagrantfile, or add this snippet. If you want your VM to appear at 172.30.1.5 it would be the following:
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "172.30.1.5"

If you need vagrant to be accessible outside your host machine, for instance for developing against a mobile device such as iOS or Android, you have to enable a public network you can use either static IP, such as 192.168.1.10, or DHCP.
config.vm.network "public_network", ip: "192.168.1.10"
