Anna, First off, thank you for reaching out to us about this project, our Vagrantfile for openshift-ansible is in some desperate need of some attention.
I've also cc'd Andrew Butcher who is one of our other mentors in case he wants to provide any additional information/ideas. The links that Jonathan provided are definitely a good introduction to both openshift-ansible and the vagrant based environment we are looking for help with. Quite honestly, the Vagrantfile hasn't been receiving updates and testing as openshift-ansible has been evolving and I'm not even sure if it is currently in a working state. An issue search ( https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+vagrant) on our github repo turns up quite a few outstanding issues that users have reported with the Vagrant setup and would definitely be a good place to start contributing, especially if you already have some experience with using Vagrant. The majority of the issues reported have been related to issues using the Vagrantfile with VirtualBox on a Mac system, but I believe most of those are general issues related to the VirtualBox configuration. My main system runs Fedora and I use the libvirt provider for vagrant, so I don't have a good way to reproduce the reported issues (and I don't have a good enough understanding of configuring advanced networking for VirtualBox through vagrant to help remote troubleshooting of the issues). A few of the VirtualBox related issues: - https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/issues/942 - https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/issues/705 There are also a few known issues related to networking configuration and dns resolution between containers, VMs and the host that will need to be addressed, but I think that would be secondary to being able to get an environment that completes the provisioning steps. Please let us know if you run into any questions or run into any issues along the way.
