Access drush outside VM

[supermoos]

Is it possible to cd ~/kalabox/www/sitename and use the drush command directly without having to vagrant ssh into the VM?

It is possible to do this but you need to install drush locally. this process differs a bit from OS to OS.

I already have drush installed, guess i need to get to the drush aliases somehow to get drush bootstrapped correctly? How is this possible?

You may have to manually create them since they will look different locally vs in the vm.

I also think that the mysql server inside the VM does not broadcast to the outside world which would make things problematic.

So it's basically not possible to use drush outside of the kalabox VM then?
Other than for say downloading a module or some other basic commands that do not need mysql? Cache clear is out of the question?

You would need to change the bind address in my.cnf to something like

bind-address        = 0.0.0.0

then you should be able to hit the db from the outside at 1.3.3.7:3360
