Configuring your computer

To create these images locally

1. Install VirtualBox. Current image has been created with Virtualbox 7.0 on ubuntu
2. Install Packer. Current image has been created with packer 1.8.3 on ubuntu
3. Check that both binaries are accessible in your PATH.
4. Install dependencies by running packer init windows.pkr.hcl.

Using a pre-built image

You can use the images generated in Vagrant Cloud with the following command:

Windows 10

vagrant init pserranoa/eDNI-windows-10_64

Windows 11

vagrant init pserranoa/eDNI-windows-11_64

Customize the Vagrantfile file to suit your needs. Remember that to use the Remote eDNI it is necessary that the network is in Bridge mode.

Bridge mode network

The configuration for the correct use of the remote mode of the DNI, both the mobile device and the PC, must be on the same network. For this it is necessary to configure the network in Bridge mode, and that it can be connected to the same network as the mobile device.

config.vm.network "public_network"

Vagrantfile example

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure "2" do |config|
  config.vm.box = "pserranoa/eDNI-windows-10_64"
  config.vm.guest = :windows
  config.winrm.username = "vagrant"
  config.winrm.password = "vagrant"
  config.vm.network "public_network"
  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 3389, host: 3389, id: "rdp",   auto_correct: true
  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 5985, host: 5985, id: "winrm", auto_correct: true

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
     vb.gui = true
     vb.memory = "4096"
     vb.cpus = "2"
  end   
end

Generating an image

Two files are necessary for the construction of the image:

• The template file that describes the target image.
• The variables that define current construction

Both images are built based on a single template (windows.pkr.hcl) and its set of variables.

Templates currently available

• windows-10_64
• windows-10-wu_64 (with windows updates)
• windows-11_64
• windows-11-wu_64 (with windows updates)

On Linux

./packer.sh build -var-file templates/<template_name>/vars.pkrvars.hcl windows.pkr.hcl

Basic commands for creating a 64-bit windows 10/11 image with the software needed to use the eDNI from Linux.

# windows 10
./packer.sh build -var-file templates/windows-10_64/vars.pkrvars.hcl windows.pkr.hcl
# windows 11
./packer.sh build -var-file templates/windows-11_64/vars.pkrvars.hcl windows.pkr.hcl

On Windows

.\packer.ps1 build -var-file .\templates\<template_name>\vars.pkrvars.hcl .\windows.pkr.hcl

Basic commands for creating a 64-bit windows 10/11 image with the software needed to use the eDNI from Windows.

# windows 10
./packer.ps1 build -var-file .\templates\windows-10_64\vars.pkrvars.hcl .\windows.pkr.hcl
# windows 11
./packer.ps1 build -var-file .\templates\windows-11_64\vars.pkrvars.hcl .\windows.pkr.hcl

Add the image to Vagrant

Once we generate the image within the executions under the builds folder, we can add it to vagrant for use. If when building it, you have used the default configuration, you will have built it with record = "on", so you will have the recording of the construction of the image available.

To add the image to vagrant, you must execute the following command, in the case of having built the windows-10_64 image locally, and having used the default configuration, access the builds/windows-10_64 folder and execute the following commands: (remember to parameterize your Vagrantfile file, to suit your needs. You have an example in the section Vagrantfile example)

vagrant box add pserranoa/eDNI-windows-10_64 eDNI-windows-10_64_0.0.1.box
vagrant init pserranoa/eDNI-windows-10_64
vagrant up

vagrant box add pserranoa/eDNI-windows-11_64 eDNI-windows-11_64_0.0.1.box
vagrant init pserranoa/eDNI-windows-11_64
vagrant up
