Since you are running the migrations from the host, you should set the DB_HOST to 192.168.10.10 which is the Homestead IP address.

Homestead - Laracasts Database Migrations: php artisan migrate Error
Hello,
I am using Laravel Homestead to run projects following along with the Laravel from Scratch Laracasts series. I am using a fresh Homestead installation with a new blank Laravel project, and upon running php artisan migrate (or other commands) am presented with one of two errors. When the DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 in my .env file, I get the following Connection refused error: https://imgur.com/U7PMB7l. When using DB_HOST=localhost I get the following different error: https://imgur.com/vA85BEL.
Any suggestions?

@TYKUS - It was that simple...and made a lot of sense. I've not been able to find that in the documentation anywhere so perhaps for those new to migrations/VM dev envs it may be worth including that somewhere? Or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. Thanks anyway!

@TYKUS - I would but I was unable to click it on Chrome on my Mac as it constantly changed state when hovering over and on iOS Chrome it just throws a 404 clicking Best Answer

This needs to be in the laravel homestead documentation... there's very little reference to using it with databases and artisan.
