Multiple PHP Versions Homestead

I don't think it's possible! You can run multiple homesteads next to each other as long as you don't install them globally ;)

Not really made for custom installs. Try something like Vaprobash so you can do multiple installs and run different versions of things.

@blackbird @bashy thanks for help!

I cloned github homestead project and renamed default folders names from .homestead to .homestead55

It's works perfect!

And you pulled in 5.5?

I just did the exact same thing as @plcosta and it worked fine. I'm running the latest Homestead box with PHP 7 support and an old Homestead box with PHP 5.6 support. Just had to forward SSH on the 2nd box to another port in scripts/homestead.rb to run the boxes simultaneously:

config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 22, host: 2223, id: 'ssh'

Aside from forwarding the other usual ports (80, 443, etc.) that was about it.

In case people find this post - the answer has changed.

If you run Homestead v6 or above - you automatically get multiple PHP versions installed by default.
