====== Oracle Virtual Box ======

Vagrant needs this - a vitual Linux host that runs on the Windows Client.


===== To link a Windows folder with a Linux directory =====

In Oracle VirtualBox, share some Windows directories:

Then in the Linux host, mount them. You can see the names of the shares with:

<code>
df -h
</code>

<code>
root@homestead:/etc# df -h

Use the shared name as "NAME" below:
<code>
mount -t vboxsf NAME /mnt/folder
</code>

According to the Oracle instructions here:

  https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=15868
  
I modified ''/etc/rc.local'' to add the mount steps:

<code bash>
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

mount -t vboxsf cantatamusic /var/www/html/cantatamusic
mount -t vboxsf Code /home/vagrant/Code
exit 0
