I'm wondering how to setup a Vagrant file that will put up a machine with two ports forwarded. This is my current Vagrantfile, which is forwarding the 8080 page:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.vm.box = "precise32"
  config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box"
  config.vm.provider "virtualbox"

  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 8080, host: 8080
  config.vm.provision :shell, :path => "start.sh", :args => "'/vagrant'"

  config.vm.network :public_network
end

Thanks!

    Based on what is in your vagrantfile, you forward host 8080 to guest 8080. Are you trying to access Tomcat hosted on your vagrant box? It seems you already have a solution. – Mingyu Jul 12 '13 at 21:18

If you want to forward two ports, you may simply add another line like this:

config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 8080, host: 8080
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 5432, host: 5432

A better way, in my opinion, is to setup a private network (or host-only network), so that you don't have to forward all the ports manually.

See my post here: Vagrant reverse port forwarding?

Additional tips

If you use the :id feature when defining :forward_port entries you need to make sure that each is unique. Otherwise they'll clobber each other, and the last one defined will typically win out.

For example:

config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8080, host: 8080, id: 'was_appserver_http'
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 9043, host: 9043, id: 'ibm_console_http'
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 9060, host: 9060, id: 'ibm_console_https'

You can forward as many ports as you want (if those ports are not used by host machine), as following:

# for Redis
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 6379, host: 6379
# for HTTP
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 80
# for MySQL
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 3306, host: 3306

If you want to forward a range of ports, for loop also can be used like this:

for i in 81..89
          config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: i, host: i
end
for i in 8080..8089
          config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: i, host: i
end

If you are using chef kitchen, then the ports are set in the .kitchen.yml file as follows:

---
driver:
  name: vagrant
  network:
    - ["forwarded_port", {guest: 80, host: 40080}]
    - ["forwarded_port", {guest: 443, host: 40443}]
provisioner:
...

this will put the following lines in the .kitchen/kitchen-vagrant/Vagrantfile:

c.vm.network(:forwarded_port, {:guest=>80, :host=>40080})
c.vm.network(:forwarded_port, {:guest=>443, :host=>40443})

don't forget to do a kitchen destroy and kitchen create.

I wasn't able to access my app without the host argument :

ng serve --host 0.0.0.0
