We switched from Vagrant on VirtualBox to Vagrant on VMware Desktop/Workstation Pro because of Enterprise Licensing. The hosts are Win10, the VM will be Linux.
All seems to work somehow, despite the folder sharing between host and VM. We tried many different ways, NFS, bindfs, smb, but none fit our needs.
It is required to allow at least chmod if not chown in the shared folder. The share will be websites hosted by nginx (Laravel Homestead VM). I had this working well on VirtualBox (however with a different/custom VM image), but not sure about the implementation on VMware.
Any idea how to properly implement folder sharing to allow chmod on a linux guest and Win host?
Thanks in advance!
One possible solution (static though, chmod still not working) would be to mount the shares as smb with (at least) the following mount_options:
dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0660
Or however it fits the projects needs. (This hint I got from Jeff Geerling) But I am still interested if there is any way to enable chmod on shares from Win.
