Bringing you fast and hassle-free to a running Windows Vagrant Box, if you need one (which comes probably only for tax software installations :P )
The aim is to give you a no-brainer Windows box, just clone this repo, download & add the box and vagrant up.
If you need more stuff, add it to playbook.yml. Have fun!
This guide assumes, you have VirtualBox, Vagrant, Python, pip & Ansible ready
brew cask install virtualbox vagrant
brew install python
pip install ansible pywinrmAnsible Windows connectivity is based on the pywinrm package, so we need to install it also.
Download newest Microsoft Edge Windows 10 Vagrant zip from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/#downloads and unzip after download.
Then add it to Vagrant via
vagrant box add --name Windows10Edge MSEdge\ -\ Win10.boxYou can also use this nice script to do so for you: https://github.com/chkpnt/MSEdge-Vagrant/blob/master/prepare.sh
Now fire up your Windows box with
vagrant upThis will also configure the Windows Box to work with Ansible and reduce the gory details (Network access, configure autologon to Windows)
After that, our Ansible [playbook.yml] is automatically executed and installs stuff on our box. Add stuff you need to it, currently only Firefox is installed.
If you don't have the vagrant-reload plugin installed, Vagrant will prompt you to do so. Type y and enter:
Vagrant has detected project local plugins configured for this
project which are not installed.
vagrant-reload
Install local plugins (Y/N) [N]: yIf your Vagrant box is running & provisioned, and you only want to execute the Ansible playbook, you can do so with:
vagrant provision --provision-with ansiblehttps://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-modifyvm
Running Powershell scripts as Vagrant provisioner:
