How can I run copy files in vagrant always (not using shared folder)

[Galit Rosenthal]

I would like on every vagrant up to be able to copy files from the host to the guest vm and after it run the shell provision.

Shell provision has the option to add "always"

but when copy files I can't do it.

Hey there -

You'll want to use the file provisioner:

Thanks!

You'll need to run `vagrant up --provision` each time. I can't recall if there is an option for `provision always` available in the Vagrantfile on individual provisioners.

I'd recommend just using the rsync shared folder implementation depending on where you are wanting to copy the file.

You can set the provisioner to run: always, like you mention, and it should copy each time. The file _should_ overwrite an existing one if it's there.  https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/provisioning/basic_usage.html and the file copy will happen each time you "vagrant up".

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo hello",
    run: "always"
end
