1. Challenge

   Update the Vagrantfile

   1. Use the config.vm.synced_folder option to set up file syncing based on the parameters from the instructions:

       Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
         config.vm.box = "fgrehm/trusty64-lxc"
         config.vm.define "app" do |app|
           app.vm.provider :lxc do |lxc|
             lxc.container_name = 'app'
           end
         end
         config.vm.synced_folder "/home/cloud_user/wanderer/app", "/opt/wanderer", type: "rsync",
           id: "wanderer-app", rsync__auto: true
       end
      

   2. Save and exit.

2. Challenge

   Test the Vagrant Environment and Check the Sync

   1. Deploy the Vagrant environment:

      vagrant up
      

   2. We can SSH into the guest container to see that the sync worked:

      vagrant ssh
      ls /opt/wanderer/
      exit
      

3. Challenge

   Test the Auto-Syncing Process

   1. Since we are using rsync, auto-synced must be turned on:

      vagrant rsync-auto &
      

   2. Take note of the process ID output.

   3. Update the application; here changing Do This! to To-Do:

      vim app/views/index.ejs
      
          To-Do
      

   4. Save and exit; notice the output from Vagrant.

   5. Kill the auto-sync process:

      pkill PID_OUTPUT
      

   6. Stop the container:

      vagrant halt
