Is there a default password to connect to vagrant

Question

I'm trying to connect to vagrant via homestead ssh:

vagrant@127.0.0.1's password:

But my public key password doesn't work.
My Homestead.yaml looks like this:

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys:
    - ~/.ssh/id_rsa

I'm using "Laravel Homestead version 2.0.14" with "Vagrant 1.7.2".

Answer 1

I've a same problem. After move machine from restore of Time Machine, on another host. There problem it's that ssh key for vagrant it's not your key, it's a key on Homestead directory.

Solution for me:

• Use vagrant / vagrant for access ti VM of Homestead
• vagrant ssh-config for see config of ssh

run on terminal

vagrant ssh-config
Host default
HostName 127.0.0.1
User vagrant
Port 2222
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile "/Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key"
IdentitiesOnly yes
LogLevel FATAL
ForwardAgent yes

Create a new pair of SSH keys

ssh-keygen -f /Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key

Copy content of public key

cat /Users/MYUSER/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key.pub

On other shell in Homestead VM Machine copy into authorized_keys

vagrant@homestad:~$ echo 'CONTENT_PASTE_OF_PRIVATE_KEY' >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Now can access with vagrant ssh

Answer 2

After trying a lot of passwords and becoming totally confused why my public key password is not working I found out that I have to use vagrant as password.

Maybe this info helps someone else too - that's because I've written it down here.

Edit:
According to the Vagrant documentation there is a default password for the user vagrant which is vagrant.

By default Vagrant uses a generated private key to login, you can try this:

ssh -l ubuntu -p 2222 -i .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key 127.0.0.1

Answer 4

This is the default working setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiD7JTCBdpI

Use Connection Method: standard TCP/IP over ssh

Then ssh hostname: 127.0.0.1:2222

SSH Username: vagrant password vagrant

MySQL Hostname: localhost

Username: homestead password:secret
