Chocolatey Environments

Environments used to test and demonstrate Chocolatey features and benefits.

Before Continuing!

The environments provided are for temporary experimentation and testing purposes only. They are not intended, nor should they be used, in a production environment! Many of the environment use default or other well known credentials.

Prerequisites

To run these environments:

• Vagrant
• Virtualbox

There are a few things you need to do to setup your system to be able to run these environments:

Business Editions (Chocolatey For Business, Architect and MSP)

If you are running a business edition of Chocolatey, perform the following steps:

1. Run SetupCommonResources.ps1 from the root folder. This will download and internalize a selection of standard packages used for different environments:
   • If you want to force the redownload of the common packages, use the -Force parameter;
   • If you need or want to download the .NET 4 installer, please use the -DownloadDotNet4 parameter;
2. Copy chocolatey.extension.<VERSION>.nupkg to the packages folder;
3. Copy your business license to the licenses folder and make sure it is called chocolatey.license.xml;

Vagrant Images

We are using the following Vagrant images for our boxes:

• Windows Server 2016 - StefanScherer/windows_2016

Standard Software

Unless specified otherwise each Vagrant server has the latest version of the following software installed:

• Chocolatey
• Baretail
• dotnetversiondetector
• Notepad++
• 7zip

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect / ping another Vagrant machine

This is a common issue and is related to Vagrant itself. If you run vagrant reload on the box that you cannot connect to or ping this will restart it. Afterwards you should be able to connect or ping it.
