What the difference between this 2 vagrant plugins? I'm using vagrant-hostmanager which can update /etc/hosts file on host machine, as well as on guest machine, supports multi-machine vagrant setup. But when I tried to use this tool https://github.com/roots/trellis I noticed that it uses vagrant-hostsupdater. Are there any benefits of this plugin compared to vagrant-hostmanager?

  • There's also https://github.com/oscar-stack/vagrant-hosts which looks like it does the same or a similar thing. Seems like there's quite a bit of "not invented here" happening, this could all be one plug-in with arguments for the various divergent behaviors. – Jeff Welling Jun 27 '18 at 18:42

Hostsupdater updates the /etc/hosts only of the host machine.

Hostsmanager updates the /etc/hosts of both the vm and the host machine.
