![]() ![]() I encountered challenges with the sftp-server which needs to be present for the plugin to work. This plugin however did not work for me out of the box. This indicates you can not trust this works for everyone and you are probably better off not using it altogether (especially if you want to share the machine) to avoid issues.Ī good alternative to smb I found was the vagrant-sshfs plugin. Some people have reported they had this working for them on their machine but that experience did not appear to be reproducible for me. For example the Windows firewall configuration, virusscanner, whether you are using a local or a remote Windows account, the SMB protocol version used, the way you supply credentials in the Vagrantfile or in the command line, the way you supply the username/domain etc. There are quite a lot of variables involved and thus things that can go wrong. I did not get this working however on Windows 11. Mounting shares using smb is described here. You need to select your virtual switch everytime manually when you do ‘vagrant up’ Shared folders You need to manually define it and Vagrant allows you to choose one for the creation of the VM. A virtual switch links a VM to a single adapter or network. This is a limitation of Vagrant and not of Hyper-V. have the VM linked to both an internal network and an external network). Due to this setup, you cannot easily create more complex network configurations from Vagrant in Hyper-V (e.g. Vagrant allows you to select a single virtual switch. Also a virtual switch is linked to only a single network. It could help to create 2 virtual switches linked to different adapters for wired and wireless working. After you have done that, you need to explicitly indicate every time you run “vagrant up” which virtual switch you want to use. Networkingīased on this, in order to get networking (specifically internet access) inside the guest working, you need to create a virtual switch and link that to the network adapter which has internet access (this is troublesome since sometimes I work using a wire and sometimes wireless). These workarounds do require you to install additional tools on your host and guest. VNC instead of the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection application and sshfs instead of smb. ![]() Note that most of the solutions to the challenges I encountered are just workarounds for things not working out of the box. It would be nice if changing the window size would change the guest resolution. Autoscaling the guest when you resize the VM Window. ![]() I used SSHFSĬlipboard integration is lacking in Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection. Several options are available from Vagrant to configure shared folders. Vagrant does not know how to configure Hyper-V networking. There are also some other things to mind. ![]() You need to pick a specific image from the Vagrant cloud which supports Hyper-V (my usual VirtualBox images were not available in Hyper-V format). When starting out I noticed, Vagrant needs to run as a user with administrative privileges due to the way Hyper-V works. I encountered many issues when trying out Vagrant with Hyper-V. You can download my Vagrantfile and provisioning script here. I think I should try VMWare next to see if it will provide a better experience. Not only that but several alternative solutions are required outside of Hyper-V because of lack of features. A lot of things which work out of the box with Vagrant and VirtualBox require effort to get working in Hyper-V. In this blog post I’ll describe my experiences. These annoyances drove me to try out Vagrant with Hyper-V (running an Ubuntu 21.04 guest on a Windows 11 host). For example CPUs getting stuck when assigning multiple CPUs to a VM and issues with auto adjusting the guest resolution when resizing the VM window. Recently however I’m experiencing more issues with Virtualbox. I’ve used Vagrant since 2015 in combination with Virtualbox for creating development machines. ![]()
