hostopen 0.1.1

Open files/directories in a vagrant synced folder on the host

Synopsis

When connected to a vagrant machine via ssh, this allows the user to open files and directories on the host machine without tunnelling.

This functionality is restricted to only files/directories in synced folders.

Requirements

• python3

• vagrant

Setup

Installation

You can install hostopen with pip

pip3 install hostopen

This will give the commands: hostopen and hostopen-server

Vagrantfile configuration

The virtual machine needs access to the synced_folders file for this program to work. This file is located in the .vagrant directory in the same root as the Vagrantfile.

Add a similiar line to the Vagrantfile:

config.vm.synced_folder ".vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox", "/.vagrant_info"

This assumes the machine is named ‘default’ and you are using ‘virtualbox’. Change where appropriate.

SSH

vagrant ssh -- -R 12355:localhost:12355

The arbitrarily chosen default port of 12355 can be changed.

Usage Examples

You can use hostopen --help and hostopen-server --help for usage information.

Client

hostopen file.py directory

Will make the server open file.py and directory if they are inside of a synced folder.

Server

hostopen-server subl

Filepaths received will be opened with sublime. subl can be substitued for a different program.
