Modern.ie for Vagrant
To create a new Modern.IE box:
* Clone this repository
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/hugsy/modern.ie-vagrant.git win8
```
* Edit `Vagrantfile` to change the line `VM = VMS[]` where `id` is the index of the box you want to have (default: `Windows 8 / IE11`)
***NOTE***: Set `--memory` to at least 8GD and `--cpus` to 4-6 for windows to run reasonably fast.
* For the directory, launch Vagrant the first time with the environment `FIRSTBOOT` set to `1`
```bash
$ cd win8 && FIRSTBOOT=1 vagrant up
```
_NOTE_: the `FIRSTBOOT` will force Vagrant to show a GUI for the VM, which is required to run the initial scripts and enable WinRM
The next boot can be done without the `FIRSTBOOT` environment variable
To test an application running on port `4000` on the host, find the ip address of the host, in Ubuntu execute `ip address` and point your browser in the guest Windows machine to the ip address + port, i.e. `http://192.168.0.110:4000`
That's it!!
