Vagrant hostmanager doesn't keep machine "alive"

Whenever I have a machine configured with hostmanager installed like this

hosts file (\System32\drivers\etc)

## vagrant-hostmanager-start id: 382a2553-2617-4b47-972f-87f95eea4f24
192.168.56.100  my.domain.dev
192.168.56.100  domain.dev
## vagrant-hostmanager-end

It keeps reverting the host to, takes about 10 minutes or something like that. It just keeps disabling the configuration while the virtual box machine is still running

## vagrant-hostmanager-start id: 382a2553-2617-4b47-972f-87f95eea4f24
# 192.168.56.100    my.domain.dev
# 192.168.56.100    domain.dev
## vagrant-hostmanager-end

is there a way to keep it active?

Vagrantfile configuration:

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  ....
  config.hostmanager.enabled = true
  config.hostmanager.manage_host = true
end
Solution

  • Apparently it wasn't vagrant or vagrant-hostmanager that was editing my hosts file and disabling the entries.

    Editing the permissions under groups and users solved the problem. set deny write for the System will keep vagrant "alive"
