This Vagrantfile creates 2 ansible nodes & 1 ansible engine. However, this script will not work in WSL/WSL2

Steps to Run:

1. Clone the github repo

2. Make sure Virtualbox is installed

3. Make sure Vagrant is installed

4. Make sure you have ssh keys present in ~/home/user/.ssh/ Follow this Guide to generate ssh keys

5. Navigate to the location of the repository

6. Run this command: vagrant up

7. List status of running machines using: vagrant status

8. Login to ansible-engine: vagrant ssh ansible-engine

9. Check if you can ping ansible nodes: ping ansible-node-1

Congrats! You can now work on Ansible. Want to code in vs-code?

1. You can open SSH into the remote container from vs-code using remote-ssh.

2. To get the ssh config file for ansible-engine type vagrant ssh-config & copy the configuration for ansible-engine

3. Copy the output your SSH config file — I added it to my default SSH config at ~/.ssh/config

4. You can use this info to SSH into container through vs-code & write scripts easily

To shut down the machines run: vagrant halt
