vagrant-lxss-plugin

Simple plugin that allows you to SSH into Vagrant machines using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.

This serves as a way of getting me back into Ruby, so there may be some silly bugs.

Obviously to make use of this plugin you must have Bash on Ubuntu on Windows installed, I won't cover that here so here's a nice article on how to do it.

Install the plugin from RubyGems using the following command:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-lxss-plugin

Alternatively if you feel like the master branch is more up-to-date than the released version then you may run the following commands to install the latest version:

git clone https://github.com/csh/vagrant-lxss-plugin.git
cd vagrant-lxss-plugin
rake build
vagrant plugin install pkg/vagrant-lxss-plugin-x.x.x.gem

Once the plugin is installed you simply use bash instead of ssh when connecting to a VM.

vagrant bash

vagrant bash <machine-id>
