Private Boxes

If you create a private box, only you (the owner) and collaborators will be able to access it.

Collaborators

To add a collaborator:

  1. Click the gear setting beside the boxes name in order to edit it.
  2. Under the "Add Collaborator" section, enter their username and submit the form.
  3. You'll now see a list of collaborators, and if necessary a collaborator can be removed.

Collaborators can edit the box, versions and providers. The only things they cannot do are:

  • Add another collaborator
  • Delete the box

Vagrant Login

In order to access these boxes from Vagrant, you'll need to first authenticate with your Vagrant Cloud account.

  1. Run vagrant login
  2. Enter your credentials

You should now be logged in. We use these credentials to request a unique authentication token that is stored locally by Vagrant. Your username or password is never stored on your machine.

404 Not Found

If you don't authenticate, you will likely receive a 404 Not Found error in Vagrant. We return a 404 for security reasons, so a potential attacker could not verify if a private box exists.
