run angular projects on vagrant VM

Question

I need to use Vagrant to run an Angular project so we can do testing in specific OS environments.

I have managed to set Vagrant up and started an Ubuntu VM. I can SSH into the VM and access my files in the host machine through it as well, which seems like an important step.

I tried accessing the host directory from the VM and running the command ng serve but it simply loads up to 10% and then stops without any error message. After some research I think I have to do this through port forwarding which I don't have much (or any) experience with.

We usually use nginx to serve and test the project, how can I do this but make it run in the Ubuntu virtual environment? How can I configure my Vagrantfile?

Answer 1

I wouldn't recommend to use a shared directory. I believe you have stored your project in any Git. Clone the project on your VM and serve it from a local directory.
