Tested on Ubuntu 22.04.1. Any reasonable recent Linux distribution should work.

sudo apt-get install vagrant virtualbox virtualbox-qt python-pip python-setuptools
pip install ansible
vagrant plugin install vagrant-disksize
vagrant plugin install vagrant-reload

cd vagrantfile-opencrs
vagrant up

Running the vagrant up command will create and configure the VM.

If you whish, you can use VMware, instead of VirtualBox, as a provider. In order to do so, you must install the Vagrant VMware Utility. Follow the docs in order to install it; you might need to use the Manual Installation guide.

After you've installed the utility, go ahead and install the vagrant-vmware-desktop plugin:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-desktop

Start the VM using:

vagrant up --provider=vmware_desktop

To access the VM via ssh run the vagrant ssh command.

To accces the VM from the CLI using the ssh command, you first need to dump the ssh config into a file and the instruct the ssh command to load the configs from the file. The config file will tell the ssh command where to find the ssh key used to auth.

vagrant ssh-config > ssh-conf
ssh -F ssh-conf vagrant@default

The same applies to scp. Just add the -F ssh-conf argument to your scp command.
