helo, I was following the guide in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md and I’m running into a couple of issues: Can someone update the vagrant VM listed in the guide above? I install the latest version of visual box and the tools. I get an error that it has a different version of the tools than the host and fails to finish. I can still ssh and update the box but, as a new person exposed to this steps this can be confusing. From my understanding this VM tries to mount the local shared where you git cloned the discourse code and ran ‘vagrant up’ from. This failed still even after updating and restarting the VM. I went to the settings in virtualbox and it looks like the auto-mount is off and mounts to /media instead of /vagrant from what I understood the steps in the guide. The git clone never shows up in /vagrant and I had to do another git clone inside the VM to be able to follow the steps and chown /vagrant to the vagrant user as its owned by root. After that the rest of the steps work :slight_smile: Please let me know If I made a mistake or took a wrong turn :slight_smile: I’m loving discourse so far. Also with permission I can update the guide posted above and do a PR request if no problems.

Can you post the logs/output for your attempt? It seems to work fine for me.

you have the error in the logs you posted. default: The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of default: VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can default: prevent things such as shared folders from working properly. If you see default: shared folder errors, please make sure the guest additions within the default: virtual machine match the version of VirtualBox you have installed on default: your host and reload your VM. Then it tries to to update the VM but, fails because its already getting updated on the inside. I go inside the VM and do apt-get upgrade then do a restart. The shared files never mount.

But for me, it all ends successfully, the files mount and I can run Discourse. If it still isn’t mounting after you update the guest additions, you have something else going wrong.

Well that’s what I’m trying to figure out. Using ubuntu 16.04 mint latest vagrant and virtualbox

I searched around and at first It looked like a vagrant bug but, it turns out is a bug in ubuntu 16.04 that has not been fixed yet. I’m not sure what flavor you guys use for your host but, I’m using ubuntu 16.x and the VM used for discourse is also 16.04 https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/6871 https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/7537
