![]() ![]() => win7: Clearing any previously set network interfaces. => win7: Checking if box 'designerror/windows-7' is up to date. ![]() => win7: Matching MAC address for NAT networking. => win7: Importing base box 'designerror/windows-7'. When I bring up my vagrant box, I do not see any error output: Bringing machine 'win7' up with 'virtualbox' provider. I tried this again today using what I was running at the time: Vagrant 1.6.3, Virtualbox 4.3.30. nfigure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|Ĭonfig.vm.define "win7", primary: false do |win7|Ĭonfig.vm.provision "shell", :path => "#"Ĭonfig.vm.network :private_network, ip: "10.10.10.10" PROVISION_WIN7_SCRIPT = "provision_win7.ps1" I'm trying to just download a file using and using msiexec to install. I know powershell scripts are supported with Vagrant, so what needs to happen to use them for provisioning? My initial thought is try to have the script to launch an new Administrator Powershell, but I feel there must be a better way. During the Vagrant provisioning process, the vagrant user cannot elevate and run the script. I've verified that my script works on my local machine if I launch Powershell as an Administrator. # use NFS for Windows, OSX and LinuxĬonfig.vm.I am trying to use Powershell to provision a Windows Vagrant machine. Using vagrant with these configurations is extremely slow, so we will just edit that section and add more options to ensure a better performance. You notice there is no sync type is specified, that means VirtualBox will be used if the host machine is Windows and you use VirtualBox. A clean vagrant file would look like (only synced_folder section) nfigure("2") do |config|Ĭonfig.vm.synced_folder "src/", "/var/www" In vagrantfile you can specify many settings for your vagrant box. If you use Vagrant, then you must have vagrantfile which resides in the same folder as your vagrantbox. Note that we can’t use NFS Out-of-the-box with Vagrant on Windows 10. To pump the performance of Vagrant on Windows 10, two things need to be done: the first one is editing your vagrant file the second is to install Vagrant WinNFSd plugin. I know it’s confusing to see VirtualBox, but if you use Vagrant with VirtualBox on Windows 10 and you don’t specify the sync type, then it will used VirtualBox shared folders as default synced folder type (which is extremely slow -_- ) SMB was developed by Barry Feigenbaum at IBM back in 1983. In addition, it’s also used for Network browsing and printing over a network. It’s an acronym for Server Message Block (SMB), it’s used for file sharing and syncing. rsync is developed by Wayne Davison back in 1996. It’s a protocol for transferring and synchronizing files between a computer and and external hard drive and also over a computer network. It’s noteworthy that the official vagrant website says that NFS folders on windows doesn’t work : rsync NFS has many versions, the latest version is NFSv4. NFS is faster than any other protocol and it’s It’s cross-platform protocol. NFS allows us to access files over a network just like we access a local storage connected to our computer. It’s an acronym for Network File System (NFS) and it’s a distributed file system protocol which was developed by Sun Microsystems back in 1984. Vagrant can work with a couple of protocols/mechanisms for syncing folders: I have discovered it’s a known issue, if you don’t use NFS shared folders to sync between the host and the guest machine using Vagrant and VirtualBox, you will experience performance issues. So I have deleted that old vagrant box and created a new vagrant box with zero customizations, however I had the same performance issues! Then I have decided to search online to find if people had the same issues as I do. I have used the vagrant machine to test my project for building and deployment purposes. In the beginning I thought it has to do with my setup and my machine specifically, because I use the machine I used during my graduation internship at Flexkids last year (was building a facial recognition API using TensorFlow and Flask ). In addition, calling the endpoints using Postman takes more than 4 seconds which is crazy if you know that on OSX it takes barely 1 second to call the same endpoint. Running simple commands like php artisan db:seed costs a lot of time. Thus we can ensure we all have the same dev-env.Īll OSX users in my team don’t experience any performance issues, while I and other people who use Windows 10 have severe performance issues with Vagrant on Windows. To overcome this (not the only reason) we use Vagrant, Virtual box (CentOs 7) as a development environment. We don’t only Windows, we use OSX and Linux as well. At work (FlexKids) I have a Windows 10 machine (at home I use both Ubuntu and Windows). ![]()
