Vagrant or equivalent setup script

A vagrant image would be helpful, ideally for ubuntu 16 or 18, and with a provision shell script that can be run independently to install dependencies in an existing machine.

I'm not sure what you are suggesting here. I'm going to put words in your mouth, and posit that you are describing two features:

• "As an operator user, I want to be able to have a friendly way to start the Orchestrator in a virtual machine, so that I can verify my task loads and builds without using a real POETS machine."

• "As an operator user, I want a friendly way to provision my Linux machine with the Orchestrator, so that I can verify my task loads and builds without using a real POETS machine."

The first of these makes sense; because the operating system of the virtual machine would be known. The second feature is quite a task if we want it to be distribution agnostic, because we would have to pull the dependencies tarball, as we can't use package management systems.
