Making RWS Software and License Files Available for Ansible
gsd nodes using Vagrant Sync Folders.Categories:
Projects: c2platform/rws/ansible-gis
The c2platform/rws/ansible-gis project
streamlines the process of making essential software and licenses accessible for
Ansible on Windows gsd nodes, such as gsd-agserver1, by leveraging Vagrant Sync
Folders.
Follow these steps to make ArcGIS software and licenses available for Ansible:
Prepare .sync_folders.yml
Create a file named .sync_folders.yml in the root of
c2platform/rws/ansible-gis project and
populate it with content similar to the example below. Modify the src path to
correspond to your local folder containing the necessary software and license
files. This configuration file will be utilized by the Vagrantfile within the
c2platform/rws/ansible-gis project to
establish a folder mount within the VM, specifically at
C:\arcgis-software-repo.
---
- src: /software/projects/rws/
target: /arcgis-software-repo
Note:
This.sync_folders.yml is ignored by Git. See .gitignore.Provide Software and Licenses
As an example my local folder is shown below:

This will make the ArcGIS Server software available in gsd-agserver1 with path
C:\arcgis-software-repo\ArcGISServer.zip.
Vagrant up or reload
After creating .sync_folders.yml Vagrant will create the mount for your local
software folder when you do a vagrant up or vagrant reload command.
Verify
If you connect to the VM using VirtualBox Manager you should be able to see the
mount C:\arcgis-software-repo.
