run-script-on-host-machine-during-vagrant-up)

a vagrant provisioner to run commands on the host when a VM boots.

example usage

Install as a plugin:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-host-shell

Add this to Vagrantfile:

  config.vm.provision :shell_local, command: ['bash', '-c', 'touch /tmp/hostshell-works && echo hello from the host && hostname 1>&2']

Run vagrant up (or vagrant provision if machine is already running.)

Observe that /tmp/hostshell-works is present on your host, and that the provisioner output:

[stdout] hello from the host
[stderr] (your host's hostname)

motivation

I decided to create and publish this plug-in because I didn't see activity on vagrant-host-shell about two years. It has accepted pull request for PATH fix which I required, but it wasn't published during 7 month (on this plug-in creation moment)
