Using vagrant and homestead for multiple sites and per project installation

Question

I have been using XAMPP for quite a time, and after discovering Laravel and finding out, that I quite like it, I also wanted to use Homestead. The problem I\'m having is, th

Answer 1

there is a short cut command to proxy the sites you want to add..

without having to messed up your Homestead.yaml file and provision your vagrant box all over again...

This applies to BOTH GLOBAL AND PER PROJECT INSTALLATION

Just Make sure if you are adding another project...

You add it the (whole project) on your Shared Folder Declared in your Homestead.yaml

Assuming your shared folder is C:/Users/MYACCOUNT/Codes

Add another project in that Folder laravel new homestead.app

Then

Assuming your are ssh in your Homestead Type a.) if your using nginx

serve homestead.app /home/Vagrant/Code/homestead/public

b.) if your using hhvm serve-hhvm homestead.app /home/Vagrant/Code/homestead/public Just change your domain name and path to public folder of your project

Then Edit your etc/hosts file as Administrator

What ever ip address you define in your Homestead.yaml

usually the default is 192.168.10.10

Use it instead of 127.0.0.1

Why? because if you use 127.0.0.1 your url will look like homestead.app:8000

If you Use the IP address in the Homestead.yaml

192.168.10.10 homestead.app

you can access your site without port 8000 and just use homestead.app

This Solution is Much Better than Provision... And is Faster...

This is what i Do
