Laravel SSH facade and Homestead

I'm working on a deployment script which will use Laravel's remote.php class to pull from Git, run migrations, etc. On production, this is all working. Using app/config/remote.php, I can successfully connect to the remote server and run something like the following in an Artisan command:

$commands[] = "php artisan migrate";
SSH::into('production')->run(
    $commands
);

The problem here is that I want to run this against my Homestead box in order to test before I do this on production (for obvious reasons!), but I can't seem to figure out what the local version of the connection should be.

'local' => array(
            'host'      => 'localhost:2222',
            'username'  => 'vagrant ',
            'password'  => ' ',
            'key'       => '',
            'keyphrase' => '',
            'root'      =>'/home/vagrant',
        ),

What is the correct configuration for this? I think it's restricting SSH to only use the RSA public key, but in order to test a deploy script I need to be able to connect using the SSH::into("local") code.

Any clues?

You want to SSH into VM via VM? Where's it connecting from / to?

Well, not exactly. The SSH facade allows you to write an Artisan command which I am calling "deploy"

php artisan deploy

Inside the fire() function, I have code which does the following.

Switch to the production branch in Git.
Merge my master branch into production.
Push production to Git.
SSH into the production server.
CD to the site folder.
Run php artisan down.
Pull from Git.
Run any migrations.
Run any composer updates.
Clear Laravel cache.
Run php artisan up.

I want to add some new features to this, but now that the production machine is live I want to be able to test new features against my Homestead box instead of the live one. So instead of the production credentials, I want to be able to connect, via the SSH facade, to the Homestead machine and watch the results.

Does that make sense?
