Windows support (mostly Ansible)

[joemaller]

See KSid/windows-vagrant-ansible and trellis/windows.sh (also the Trellis Vagrantfile). Ansible will run on the VM.

Manually removing network from Virtual Box as mentioned here might be necessary:

Making some progress. Notes:

Installed Git using the third option, which got vagrant ssh working. The above might not be necessary.

Also had to manually remove a network adapter from VirtualBox. Lost the page with instructions, but I'm trying to find it again. Derp: It's the link from the previous comment.

On-VM provisioning was failing because unzip wasn't installed, plus the version of Ansible was out of date. (ideasonpurpose/basic-wordpress-box#11)

Short term goals:

• Local provisioning
• Boot VM on Windows
• Serve static HTML page from VM on Windows
• update basic-wordpress-box to 0.0.11 (with unzip installed)

Almost working on Windows without intervention. But problems on Edge (works in Chrome). This is not a new issue.

Trying this: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/FixedMicrosoftEdgeCantSeeOrOpenVirtualBoxhostedLocalWebSites.aspx

So it's kind of working. The three remaining issue seem to be Windows specific:

• Provisioning error when creating Kint and XHProf symlinks:
  • solution: Run as administrator
• Vagrant Hostmanager is not writing the Windows etc/hosts file
  • no idea why this isn't working, but it's not just me
• Microsoft Edge won't load websites from local IP addresses
  • Again, no idea, not just me.

Getting closer. Edge has issues with VMs (not just this one)
