vagrant-remote-forward

As part of a chef-server push-setup, vagrant-remote-forward will, for example, give you access to a proxy running on the machine you execute your vagrant provisioning commands on, effectively allowing you to firewall off permanent access to your chef server.

On a more general level, you can forward ports on the remote machine that it, in and of itself, would not have access to otherwise.

Installation

vagrant plugin install vagrant-remote-forward

Usage

Add your port forward configuration to your Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure '2' do
  # ..
  config.remote_forward.add 5000, '192.168.1.1', 8000
end

This will forward port 8000 on the VM to the host 192.168.1.1:5000 on your local network. (I know the syntax feels backwards, but this is what's being used in OpenSSH and I felt it'd be even more confusing to deviate from that de-facto stanard.)

It will also work in a multi-vm environment:

Vagrant.configure '2' do
  # ..
  config.vm.define 'A' do |a|
    a.remote_forward.add 5000, '192.168.1.1', 8000
  end

  config.vm.define 'B' do |b|
    a.remote_forward.add 6000, '192.168.1.10', 7000
  end
end
