When creation of an instance ( virtual machine) is invoked either through the vagrant up command or through the Tools | Vagrant | Up menu option, JetBrains Rider looks for the Vagrantfile in the directory specified in the Instance folder field.

A Vagrantfile is created through the vagrant init command. According to the Vagrantfile your instance ( virtual machine) is configured, provisioned against the relevant Vagrant base box, and deployed on your computer. The file can specify which folders are shared and which third-party software should be installed. The file contains the virtual IP address, port mappings, and the memory size to assign. Specify here the fully qualified path to the directory, where the task vagrant init has been executed, and the Vagrantfile is initialized and stored.Ī Vagrantfile is a configuration file that defines the instance ( virtual machine) you need. Type the path manually, or click the browse button and locate the desired file in the dialog that opens. Specify the fully qualified address of the executable file: vagrant.bat for Windows, vagrant for Unix and macOS.
