Just a bit of R&D POC'ing using vagrant and ansible to spin up a linux+ruby development VM so I can do some ruby development from a Windows machine without that Windows+Ruby headache.
Deploy on *nix(macos even)? Why would you develop on Windows? "....something something right tool for the job...."
- You have virtualbox installed, and working, and doing the things.
- You have vagrant installed, and working.
Indeed, what it do? What. It. Do.
It builds up a Rocky 8 VM that can be used as a remote-ssh VSCode host for linux-centric development...that fits my needs, of course. Please, take it and change it if it's useful to you.
Disclaimer: there are probably better ways to go about this (please, tell me about them!)
Vagrantfile will spin up two Rocky 8 boxes - dev1 and ans1. ans1 is a relatively thin VM with the sole purpose is the ansible control node. It can be halted once it's done it's job of provisioning the dev1 VM.
vagrant up will bring both VMs, and have ans1 setup the development environment in dev1. (oops....at the point of writing this, I don't have that all wrapped up.)
Yes, there is a passphrase-less key pair in keys/. Big whoop, wanna fight about it? They're there so the two VMs can freely talk to each other (see Vagrantfile for details). Replace them with your own keys. I don't even use the ones here in the repo anymore. They're here so this (hopefully) works right out of the box.
Work in progress... I just want to get this off my machine in case it dies.
