+## Remote command execution using `vagrant-exec`
+
+You can use [`vagrant-exec`](https://github.com/p0deje/vagrant-exec) to execute commands remotely through Vagrant, and if you can't get Console to work with `--target`, you might want to try doing this (it's more convenient than logging into the VM just to run a Drupal VM command!).
+
+First, install the plugin:
+
+    vagrant plugin install vagrant-exec
+
+Add the following to a `Vagrantfile.local` in your project (set `directory` to your drupal docroot):
+
+```ruby
+if Vagrant.has_plugin?('vagrant-exec')
+  config.exec.commands '*', directory: '/var/www/drupal'
+end
+```
+
+Now you can execute any Drupal Console command—even interactive ones!—from the host:
+
+    vagrant exec bin/drupal generate:module
