   const port = 3000
   
   app.get('/', (req, res) => {
       res.send('Hello World!')
   })
   
   app.listen(port, () => {
       console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}`)
   })
   

5. Init vagrantfile

   vagrant init ubuntu/jammy64
   

6. Update vagrantfile

   Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
       config.vm.box = "ubuntu/jammy64"
       config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"
       config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
           curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | bash
           source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
           echo "source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh && cd /vagrant" > ~/.bashrc
           nvm install --lts &> /dev/null
           nvm alias default stable
           node --version
       SHELL

9. Login as root

   sudo su
   

10. Run application

    node main.js
    

    You can access node.js application from localhost with ip: http://192.168.33.10:3000.

    You can also edit main.js file directly.
