In this tutorial I will show you how to expose your site, this particular method will only work if you are using Homestead along side your Laravel installation, this means having set up Vagrant and the Homestead configuration.
So let's say we have a site called (as creatively named, just kidding) "laravel" with the Homestead configuration:
---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: ~/Code
to: /home/vagrant/Code
sites:
- map: laravel.app
to: /home/vagrant/Code/laravel/public
databases:
- laravel
What we can do is add an extra "site" that matches the URL we would like to expose e.g.
- map: laravel.vagrantshare.com
to: /home/vagrant/Code/laravel/public
in doing so you do not need to add this to the hosts file as you would normally do when adding a site.
Now that we have that set up all we need to do is signup to vagrant cloud run the command:
vagrant share --http 8000 --https 44300 --name laravel
--name
allows us to set what the subdomain is, in this case I just used laravel so that the URL would be laravel.vagrantshare.com
.
As always, this is only a temporary solution and shouldn't be used long term or in development mode.
Happy Laravel exposure,
Jamie Bonnett
