vagrant-hostsupdater

Vagrant Hostsupdater is a plugin for Vagrant that automatically adds and removes entries in the host system's `/etc/hosts` file. It simplifies local development by mapping hostnames to the IP addresses of Vagrant virtual machines, eliminating the need for manual hosts file edits. ## Key Features - **Automatic Hosts Management** — Adds entries on `vagrant up`, `resume`, and `reload`, and removes them on `halt`, `destroy`, and `suspend`. - **Alias Support** — Allows defining multiple hostname aliases for a single IP address. - **Multiple Network Adapters** — Supports mapping specific hostnames to different private network IPs using a hash configuration. - **Skip Option** — Enables skipping hosts updates for specific network configurations with a `hostsupdater: "skip"` flag. - **Privilege Escalation Control** — Provides instructions for suppressing sudo/UAC prompts on Linux, macOS, and Windows. - **Cloud Provider Integration** — Includes support for AWS and Google Cloud providers, detecting public IPs from instance tags or names. ## Philosophy It aims to streamline the development workflow by automating a repetitive manual task, ensuring that hostname resolution works seamlessly across Vagrant environments.
