Vagrant+Chef symlink public folder to another folder

I wonder if its possible to symlink the public folder in a Vagrant / Chef setup so that it points to another folder.

e.g. I have my working directory ~/home/work/site and I create a Vagrant setup at ~/home/work/vm

I would like to symlink ~/home/work/vm/public to ~/home/work/site

Is this possible or do I need to have all the files in the Vagrant folder?

Thanks

Your question is missing the details what you are really trying to do (as making symlinks on the host has nothing to do with Vagrant), but I guess you want to access the ~/home/work/site directory from the virtual machine. In this case read the synced folder documentation. For example:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.synced_folder "../site", "/vagrant/public"
end

Of course you can select the guest path as you want. And even disable the default mount if you want (config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true).
