[chef] Re: Creating a Vagrant cluster with chef-metal - any special configuration required around ssh port forwarding?

[Steffen Gebert < >]

Hi Chris,

I don't have a real answer for this, but I think my colleague solved
this problem. Maybe by using private networking?

https://github.com/t3dev/t3stacks/blob/fa5f56510ddec30f2a7ea6b2ff027e040eec00fa/cookbooks/t3stacks/recipes/default.rb#L37-L64

Does that help?

Yours
Steffen
