Host Open v0.1

Synopsis

When connected to a vagrant machine over ssh, this allows the user to open a file on the host machine without tunnelling.

Requirements

• python3
• vagrant

Usage

Note: an alias could be setup to make these commands easier.

Client

python3 client.py file1.py folder/
Will open file.py and folder/ separately on the server.

Server

python3 server.py subl
Filepaths received will be opened with sublime.

Setup

Vagrantfile

Add the following line to the Vagrantfile:
config.vm.synced_folder ".vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox", "/.vagrant_info"
This assumes the machine is named 'default'. Change where appropriate.

SSH

vagrant ssh -- -R 12355:localhost:12355
The arbitrarily chosen default port of 12355 can be changed.

TO-DO

• Allow client to override the app specified on the server
• Allow client to optionally add extra flags to run
• Compile python to binary and setup aliases automatically
