This commit adds some clarification to the provisioning guide by
explaining ahead of time that an html folder will be created that will
be used by the provisioning script.
Retains the original default value of 15 seconds for SSH connect
timeout. Allows users to modify this timeout via SSH communicator
option. Enforces integer values for timeout and validates custom
values are greater than 0.
Since PowerShell subprocesses don't inherit the setting for
`$ProgressPreference`, it's probably a good idea to set this variable to
`SilentlyContinue` globally when using the WinSSH communicator.
This commit also fixes a formatting issues with the list of supported
Windows guests.
Although it has been possible to specify a specific VirtualBox host-only network
to attach a machine's NIC to, this was never mentioned by the documentation in
the VirtualBox provider's networking section. I had to spelunk through the issue
tracker to find an example of this.
This patch adds a code example along with a short description of the ability in
human language prose, and a link to the relevant section in the VirtualBox User
Manual about "Host-Only Networking."
Windows commands that run over SSH are wrapped in a script that writes a
special marker to the two output streams (stdout and stderr). This
allows Vagrant to consume the output streams.
Unfortunately, this leads to a sort of chicken-and-egg problem where no
commands can be run before a wrapper script exists. For example, you
can't make a destination directory to upload the wrapper script without
first creating a wrapper script to make the directory. :)
This commit changes the behavior of the WinSSH communicator to assume
that the destination directory already exists for provisioning scripts.
It also moves the default `upload_path` from the shell provisioner
config so we can have OS-specific defaults.
Finally, it introduces a Windows-specific #upload method which will
properly use a Windows path separator on a non-Windows host.
This commit adds more detail to the documentation for `config.ssh.verify_host_key`. Currently, the documentation only mentions the default value but does not provide any hints as to what valid values exist, or where this value is being passed to. As I'm sure you know, this is ultimately passed to the `net-ssh` library. It would have saved me some time doing searches to have read this fact in the Vagrant docs directly.
Thanks for considering this expansion.
