Multiple Homestead Boxes

I'm trying to install multiple of the same homestead box. Each one for a different project, totally isolated from each other. None of them will be run concurrently, only one at a time.

But when I try to run vagrant up, it tells me that a box with the name 'homestead-7' already exists. How can I rename it?

I don't see the name anywhere in the vagrantfile in the project directory, nor any 'boxes' folder in either the project .vagrant directory or my home .vagrant directory. vagrant global-status tells me that there is 1 homestead-7 box already for the project that is already in progress.

You need to add "name" property under your "Homestead.yaml" file, for example:

name: my-new-homestead

and make sure that your authorize, keys and folders are pointing to the correct path.

To use Homestead in a per project basis, you need to add it as a dependency in each one of your projects:

composer require laravel/homestead --dev

Use php vendor/bin/homestead make to generate the Vagrantfile and Homestead.yaml files. Then you can simply run vagrant up from your project.

See more on the Laravel documentation.
