What about Ansible Local as provisioner?

[Tset-Noitamotua]

Ansible can´t run as control machine on Windows. But there´s another option called 'Vagrant Ansible Local provisioner' What about it?

Can´t it be used to make this work on Windows?

It tried a quick fix by changing the line 18 from

vbox.vm.provision :ansible do |ansible|

to

vbox.vm.provision :ansible_local do |ansible|

but the I get this error:

Bringing machine 'virtualbox' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:

ansible local provisioner:
* `playbook` does not exist on the guest: C:/vagrant/playbook.yml

Aha, it seems like it is looking for the playbook.yml file on a windows path, inside the linux gues operating system? (which won't work).

Btw, what version of Windows do you run? 10?

If so, have you considering testing with the new support for Bash on Windows 10?

See

Since it allows you to install software from Ubuntu repos, I guess you should be able to run ansible from it?
