Boxes

Boxes are the package format for Vagrant environments. A box can be used by anyone on any platform that Vagrant supports to bring up an identical working environment. HashiCorp (the makers of Vagrant) publish a basic Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit box that is available for minimal use cases. It is highly optimized, small in size, and includes support for VirtualBox, Hyper-V, and VMware.

vagrant box add hashicorp/bionic64

# initializes a local configuration
vagrant init hashicorp/bionic64

# in case of WSL2 add the following line (without the # at the beginning) to Vagrantfile
#  config.ssh.insert_key = false

vagrant up

# connects the machine(s)
vagrant ssh

# suspends the machine(s)
vagrant suspend

# resumes the machine(s)
vagrant resume

# destroys the machine(s)
vagrant destroy

Hyper-V specificities

• Learning to Use Vagrant on Windows 10

• Add provider CLI parameter

# example
vagrant box add hashicorp/bionic64 --provider hyperv

• Add lines in the Vagrantfile

# Vagrantfile
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "hashicorp/bionic64"
  config.vm.provider "hyperv"
  # private network won't work
  config.vm.network "public_network"
  # workaround to avoid "mount error(13): Permission denied. Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)"
  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
end

• If an authentication is asked, provide UBISOFT-ORG\shortusername and AD password
