# Usage (Ubuntu 22.04 host)

Install the [Windows 2022 VM template](https://github.com/rgl/windows-vagrant).

Install Terraform and govc (Ubuntu):

```bash

wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/1.3.7/terraform_1.3.7_linux_amd64.zip

unzip terraform_1.3.7_linux_amd64.zip

sudo install terraform /usr/local/bin

rm terraform terraform_*_linux_amd64.zip

wget https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/releases/download/v0.29.0/govc_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

tar xf govc_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz govc

sudo install govc /usr/local/bin/govc

rm govc govc_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

```

Install Terraform and govc (Windows):

```bash

choco install -y --version 1.3.7 terraform

choco install -y --version 0.29.0 govc

```

Save your environment details as a script that sets the terraform variables from environment variables, e.g.:

```bash

cat >secrets.sh <<'EOF'

export TF_VAR_vm_hostname_prefix='example'

export TF_VAR_vm_count='1'

export TF_VAR_vm_cpu='2'

export TF_VAR_vm_memory='4' # [GiB]

export TF_VAR_vm_disk_os_size='60' # [GiB]

export TF_VAR_vm_disk_data_size='1' # [GiB]

export TF_VAR_vsphere_user='[email protected]'

export TF_VAR_vsphere_password='password'

export TF_VAR_vsphere_server='vsphere.local'

export TF_VAR_vsphere_datacenter='Datacenter'

export TF_VAR_vsphere_compute_cluster='Cluster'

export TF_VAR_vsphere_datastore='Datastore'

export TF_VAR_vsphere_network='VM Network'

export TF_VAR_vsphere_folder='example'

export TF_VAR_vsphere_windows_template='vagrant-templates/windows-2022-amd64-vsphere'

export TF_VAR_winrm_username='vagrant'

# NB this value must meet the Windows password policy requirements.

#    see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/password-must-meet-complexity-requirements

export TF_VAR_winrm_password='HeyH0Password'

export GOVC_INSECURE='1'

export GOVC_URL="https://$TF_VAR_vsphere_server/sdk"

export GOVC_USERNAME="$TF_VAR_vsphere_user"

export GOVC_PASSWORD="$TF_VAR_vsphere_password"

EOF

```

**NB** You could also add these variables definitions into the `terraform.tfvars` file, but I find the environment variables more versatile as they can also be used from other tools, like govc.

Launch this example:

```bash

source secrets.sh

# see https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/govc/USAGE.md

govc version

govc about

govc datacenter.info # list datacenters

govc find # find all managed objects

terraform init

terraform plan -out=tfplan

time terraform apply tfplan

ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts -R "$(terraform output --json ips | jq -r '.[0]')"

ssh "vagrant@$(terraform output --json ips | jq -r '.[0]')"

exit

time terraform destroy --auto-approve

```
