Learning Scrapy - How to get shared folders working between host (Mac OSX) and guest OS (Linux)? #2

Closed lookfwd closed 8 years ago

lookfwd commented 8 years ago

Hey all, sorry for the newbie question. I am working through Dmitrios Kouzis-Loukas' book Learning Scrapy.

In that book, he outlines how to setup a dev environment using Vagrant and Docker. I am having trouble getting the Shared Folders working so I can edit files in the dev environment using the text editor on my host machine.

I have found a few write ups, but have not had success. I think that I need to install Guest Additions on the guest OS. How do I do this on the Linux guest OS?

Thank you,

Matt

A few weeks and no follow-up. Please reopen or add a new one if anyone faces similar issue.

Hi I'm having this issue also. Did you end up finding a solution?

lookfwd commented 7 years ago

No, he (s)he never followed up - I guess (s)he found the solution by restarting the VM. @grs-adj what OS do you have? If it's Windows, at which point of the process highlighted in the video here: http://scrapybook.com/ did it stop working?

I'm using OSX and very new to using vagrant, docker and virtualbox. I can get the VM up and running but after that I have a couple of issues. When I ssh into dev the 'book' folder is empty. I believe it is supposed to have a copy of the book files (I do have these files on my local machine). The other is like the original comment I am unable to get the shared folders working. I feel like I'm missing something simple but I don't know what it is.
