Windows version #75

Open philipnorton42 opened 9 years ago

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

Seeing that Ansible should be able to run on Windows now, will you support it also?

http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

Indeed. In order to run this system on Windows we kind of need someone who runs Windows. I don't really have the ability to test this.

Downgrading priority to minor due to the lack of visible interest at present.

Original Comment By: Dan Bohea

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

I'd be interested to learn about the demand for Windows support. I gave a short presentation introducing Vlad in Bristol a few months back and one person was interested in using Ansible on Windows (before they announced support).

Original Comment By: Dan Bohea

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

I would love to say yes, but I have no way of testing it. We would need someone with a Windows machine to be able to run this stuff.

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

Got to meet Mariano (submitted recent PEAR PR) at DrupalCon and he mentioned that he's got this working (via Samba for shared folders) and that he would be putting a PR together soon.

zxaos commented 9 years ago

Has there been any movement on this? I'm considering a deployment to my team but a couple of our dev are on windows.

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

The last I heard about this was @philipnorton42 asking @mbarcia (who submitted a PR related to this a while back) to resubmit the PR but with just the Windows support (the original PR was declined as it included too much stuff and there was some overlap with other development). I'll try to dig out the thread and make sure everyone concerned is on the same page as it were.

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

Here's the PR that I was referring to: https://github.com/hashbangcode/vlad/pull/132

@mbarcia! We want your Windows PR! :D

mbarcia commented 9 years ago

Yo! Hi Dan, I've been horrible busy, but now I have some time again. I'll be catching up with #132. I believe I need to do a mega-merge and I've been procrastinating :-)

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

I've been horrible busy

I know that feeling. Good to hear from you :)

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

@mbarcia I just merged https://github.com/hashbangcode/vlad/pull/163 into dev which amends the Vagrantfile - thought you should know :)

mbarcia commented 9 years ago

Dan, thanks for the heads up. I've pulled the new code and merged fine. I've managed to merg the windows support feature manually on top of the dev branch. I'm now doing a "smoke test" but it's failing to provision, so I need to work on it a bit more, stay tuned.

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

Actually, the PR I merged earlier still isn't in the dev branch thanks to a merge conflict that snuck in. We're working on it now - I'll ping you again when it's sorted :)

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

Just pushed a fix for this to the dev branch. Just giving it a quick test now but I don't see any issues just yet.

mbarcia commented 9 years ago

I've issued the PR. Debian/Ubuntu is supported by this PR, CentOS is not. I will be adding support for CentOS soon in a separate (and hopefully much smaller) PR.

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

[copied from pull request to continue the discussion]

Ok, so after playing with the Windows version of Vagrant for a bit I can safely say that Windows is a massive pile of ass and I am hugely happy that I don't have to use it anymore. How anyone can get anything done on that system is beyond me.

I'm not sure if it's Vlad or something else but I cant even get Vagrant to boot the box correctly. I assume that things worked correctly on your end.

I had started making some notes for the documentation site, but haven't got any further than this:

Run the command prompt in administration mode when using Vagrant.

Ensure that the Vagrant home directory does not have a space in it. To do this run the following command within an administration command prompt.

setx VAGRANT_HOME "c:\vagrant\home\path" /M
philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

So, just for some background, I am using Windows 7 Professional (64bit). It's a brand new install so it's got the latest drivers and versions.

mbarcia commented 9 years ago

I've found Windows very frustrating when running on sub-par hardware (less than i7, or less than 8 GB, and withouth a SSD drive). But now, thanks to a decent hardware and thanks to VLAD ;-) my pains are gone for good. Honestly, having Ubuntu at hand made me stop missing my previous Macbook Pro.

Anyway, ... when I checked the docs in v0.9, I didn't find a place where Windows needed to be documented separately... I'll re-check tonight for v1.0 and let you know, I believe Dan's been working on that, thanks!

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

It's a pretty decent machine (i7 and *gig Ram), not solid state though! :)

The docs are located here: http://vlad-docs.readthedocs.org/

And they can be updated via the docs repo here: https://github.com/hashbangcode/vlad-docs

The only mention of Windows currently is that there is no windows support, I'll set up a Windows page later that we can collaborate on :)

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

@mbarcia Sounds like you need to just wipe that machine and install Ubuntu on there :D

(sorry - the Windows jabs will likely never stop)

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

I've created a page and added the little information I have so far :)

https://github.com/hashbangcode/vlad-docs/blob/dev/usage/windows.md

The very capable @IrIna22 was looking at it this afternoon, but wasn't getting very far. I'll catch up with her in the morning and see how it's going.

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

Right. I don't want the work done on this to get stale and never become part of the project so I have incorporated it into the dev branch. Everything still works as intended in my local system (OSX) but we need more Windows testers to make sure it all works.

@mbarcia - I'd like your input on this as well :)

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

Cool - hopefully that can now help simplify the path to reviewing/re-rolling other PRs & branches that also seek to dabble with the Vagrantfile (which seems to be getting an inordinate amount of love at the moment):

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

Yup. After PR #172 came in I thought it might complicate things with the currently existing windows branch. I couldn't really keep updating it every time a change was made, and we are making a few changes to the Vagrantfile at the moment.

mbarcia commented 9 years ago

Fantastic! The docs need very minor adaptations, I will send what I've found during the weekend.

BTW, related to Windows but I believe the other host platforms could benefit as well, there is this vagrant plugin: vagrant-hostsupdater. It updates the /etc/hosts, which is what we do at up/halt... I will give it a shot as soon as I can.

I guess there's a way to install plugins automatically? That would simplify things even more for the user... Cheers.

Dependent now of #182

RowboTony commented 9 years ago

Hello, I'm not quite understanding how y'all are running Vlad on Windows? Do you have Ansible installed via Cygwin on the Windows host?

The only way I've seen Vagrant + Ansible run successfully is to have Ansible run on the guest such as: -https://github.com/geerlingguy/drupal-vm/tree/master/provisioning/JJG-Ansible-Windows or -https://gist.github.com/tknerr/291b765df23845e56a29

Would you consider incorporating either of these methods into Vlad? It may or may not come to pass that Vagrant 1.8 may support Ansible on guest with ansible_local, https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/5340. I'm not a DevOps guru, so I have no idea how to patch and test these things. I just know it's very nice to be able to quickly spin up a new Drupal site for patch testing, debugging, teaching, and sprinting.

Vlad is the most comprehensive, best documented, and most feature full Vagrant I've seen for Drupal thus far, works like a dream of my Linux laptop, and I think it would catch on quickly if Windows users could, in a matter of minutes, install the official Vagrant Windows package, git clone vlad, and vagrant up. For example - at the most recent sprint I attended, there were at least 6 new sprinters there with Windows laptops, and it took them all the better part of a day to get their local environment up and configured with all of the necessary development tools. A Windows friendly Vlad would have saved them all a great deal of time. Thank you for all of your hard work!

dixhuit commented 9 years ago

It's 85% black magic. You have to offer up your own soul as payment to Vlad to convince him to work on Windows.

(Ansible is installed via shell script on the guest and then run from there - @mbarcia has handled the vast majority of this sorcery)

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

Thanks Dan :)

Seriously though, the current dev build of Vlad has Windows support and it works by calling a script file that then passes responsibility for installing and configuring the box to the box itself. We have a couple of small bugs to squash before we can release the next version, but it shouldn't be long!

RowboTony commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the information, I didn't realize this was in the dev branch. I'd like to help test this Windows functionality. I cloned the vlad dev branch and find that the process hangs at port forwarding, see the messages below for details. The final block below shows vagrant up --debug info if that helps. Let me know if I may be of assistance in helping debug further. Thanks!

That's exactly the problem I have on my Windows machine. Well, the Windows machine in the office that I borrowed to test this stuff on. It's a brand new install of Windows 7 as well, and I've installed all of the available updates.

I've never managed to get past it :(

Hi @tgroff, @philipnorton42,

This never happened to me. From the debug log, I think it seems it is trying to use NFS.

I can't conclude anything from the logs. BTW, I'm using Windows 8.1.

I've not been able to test the new dev branch, so for the time being I can only suggest cloning my forked repository, and then use/checkout/switch to branch "dev-centos". And please post your settings.yml if it doesn't work?

Thank you.

RowboTony commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the info @mbarcia! Realizing you are using Windows 8.x allowed me to figure out the problem - PowerShell 3.0 is required!

First, I cloned your repo and tested the dev-centos branch, it was still failing at ==> vlad: Fixed port collision for 22 => 2222. Now on port 2200. After some Googling I found that my Windows 7 x64 PowerShell was v2. So I upgraded to PowerShell v3, and now vlad works! Both the @mbarcia and the vlad-dev branch initialize fully for me now on Windows. Here are some related links:

Cannot create SMB share #3257 https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/3257#issuecomment-38073124

My only other observation at this point would be regarding the smb file sharing. I've used a few different Vagrant web dev VMs, and most of them use either native file sync, or rsync. I have found the best performance to be with native file sync such as vboxsf. That's just my experience. It seems PowerShell 3.0 is only needed for the Samba file sharing?

Thanks!

mbarcia commented 9 years ago

Glad to hear this, and glad to see the results of your troubleshooting session!

Indeed, the problem seems to be the auxiliar shared folder (smb: type in windows).

At first I was confused, since the main folders (/vagrant and /var/www/docroot) are shared from Ubuntu, and not setup by the Vagrantfile.

But there is still this "vagrant-aux" shared folder setup by Vagrantfile, so that should be it.

So, Vlad is requiring Powershell 3 in Win 7, good to know that.

Helpful stuff. Would one of you Windows folks mind updating the Windows docs page with these new requirements?

philipnorton42 commented 9 years ago

So I just tried to run a Windows test on my machine. I got the following error:

Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because
the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that
the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and
can work properly. The command attempted was:

mount -t cifs -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3`,sec=ntlm,username=philnorton-pc\phil norto
n,pass=PASSWORDHIDDEN //10.0.0.131/fad21479199410197e8786305e66c521 /var/www/site/vlad_aux

 //10.0.0.131/fad21479199410197e8786305e66c521 /var/www/site/vlad_aux

The error output from the last command was:

stdin: is not a tty
Usage: mount -V                 : print version
       mount -h                 : print this help

       mount -l                 : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
       mount -a [-t|-O] ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
       mount device             : mount device at the known place
       mount directory          : mount known device here
       mount -t type dev dir    : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
       mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
       mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
       mount --make-shared dir
       mount --make-slave dir
       mount --make-private dir
       mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
       mount --make-rshared dir
       mount --make-rslave dir
       mount --make-rprivate dir
       mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using  -L label  or by uuid, using  -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say  man 8 mount .

I've installed Powershell 3.0 and the .NET framework updates but not sure what else I need. I also made sure that Vagrant was up to date.

It affects only VirtualBox 4.3.10 and was completely fixed in 4.3.12. So if you are using 4.3.10, an update will fix it.

Another option is to install plugin vagrant-vbguest, it's easy to add now ;-)

So I just tried to run a Windows test on my machine. I got the following error:

Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and can work properly. The command attempted was:

mount -t cifs -o uid=id -u vagrant,gid=getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3,sec=ntlm,username=philnorton-pc\phil norto n,pass=PASSWORDHIDDEN //10.0.0.131/fad21479199410197e8786305e66c521 /var/www/site/vlad_aux mount -t cifs -o uid=id -u vagrant,gid=id -g vagrant,sec=ntlm,username=philnorton-pc\phil norton,pass=PASSWORDHIDDEN //10.0.0.131/fad21479199410197e8786305e66c521 /var/www/site/vlad_aux

The error output from the last command was:

stdin: is not a tty Usage: mount -V : print version mount -h : print this help mount : list mounted filesystems mount -l : idem, including volume labels So far the informational part. Next the mounting. The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'. Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted. mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab mount device : mount device at the known place mount directory : mount known device here mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device. One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere: mount --bind olddir newdir or move a subtree: mount --move olddir newdir One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir: mount --make-shared dir mount --make-slave dir mount --make-private dir mount --make-unbindable dir One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree containing the directory dir: mount --make-rshared dir mount --make-rslave dir mount --make-rprivate dir mount --make-runbindable dir A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd]. For many more details, say man 8 mount .

I've installed Powershell 3.0 and the .NET framework updates but not sure what else I need. I also made sure that Vagrant was up to date.

I'll try and update Virtualbox and see if that helps :)

Ok, I've tried updating Virtualbox and installing the vbguest plugin but I'm still getting the error. Any other ideas.

Your settings.yml?

I haven't even set it so it's using the default settings :)

I'm not convinced I have everything installed correctly. Let me try again.

What is your Vagrant version? I think you'll need Vagrant 1.7.2.

Also, I have the "VirtualBox 4.3.26 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack". I'm just speculating, maybe this extension pack has something to do with vboxfs?
