Laravel Homestead

Question

I'm trying to get Laravel Homestead up and running. I believe I did everything as manual says. When I run vagrant up -command I get following error on OS X 10.9:

My Homestead.yaml file is following:

---
authorize: /Users/foo/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys:
    - /Users/foo/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

folders:
    - map: /Users/foo/projects
      to: /home/vagrant

sites:
    - map: site.dev
      to: /home/vagrant/site/public

And this is what I get while executing vagrant up :

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

Stderr from the command:

tee: /home/vagrant/.ssh/authorized_keys: No such file or directory

Answer 1

Map your projects directory to something else than /home/vagrant :

folders:
- map: /Users/foo/projects
  to: /home/vagrant/projects

This should fix your problem and you probably don't want your vagrant's config files ( .ssh , .bashrc , etc) synced back to your local projects directory anyway.

Also your keys property should be set to private key, not public.

Answer 2

If you look at original Homestead.yaml again, you'll see that:

authorize needs your public key (id_rsa.pub)

keys needs your privte key (id_rsa)

Answer 3

keys should be:

keys: - /Users/foo/.ssh/id_rsa not keys: - /Users/foo/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Answer 4

Homestead is just an implementation of vagrant.

Try:

homestead up

If this still doesn't work, try

homestead destroy && homestead up

Answer 5

A little suggestion here based on my own learning experience. Homestead provides a nice and neat way for beginners to work on Laravel Framework in no time. However, I think the vagrant settings and weird environment is not straight forward to me.

I believe everyone has to work with the real Server and Laravel environment eventually. Therefore, I decided to give up homestead and simply install Ubuntu on VirtualBox. Then, I followed official instructions here and installed my Laravel pretty easily.

Just for your information. Just go straight to the real Laravel system instead of Homestead.
