Trellis on Win10 + WSL2 - Vagrant up seems to fail because of pip / ansible?

Hi there,

I recently posted on my Initial attempt to install Trellis on Win10 + WSL2.

Here is the beginning of my story :

It occurs I had a problem with my vagrant version.

Once the problem solvedI managed to get a bit further. Doing a vagrant up --provision was going well until an other problem append :

Ansible seems to unroll its tasks up to that point :

TASK [wordpress-install : Change site owner to user] ***************************
System info:
  Ansible 2.8.0; Vagrant 2.2.10; Linux
  Trellis version (per changelog): "Validate that `letsencrypt_contact_emails` is a list"

The troubleshooting section of the documentation did talk about a recursion problem, so here I go, I try the suggested fix by downgrading ansible to v2.5.1 :

  • pip3 install ansible==2.5.1
  • Updating vagrant.default.yml with vagrant_ansible_version: '2.5.1'

Then I replay a vagrant up --provision leading to a new error. Here are the logs of the operation :

Thanks for helping :slight_smile:

I faced too many issues for 2 full days trying to get it working on the latest Windows 10 Pro with no luck. Tried different combinations of Tellis, Vagrant, VirtualBox, and WSL versions. Not to mention the countless rabbit holes into niche github repos for every new issue.

Even when I finally got no errors for “vagrant up”, the ip and development domain weren’t responding to browser and terminal pings.

Ended up installing linux (Elementary OS) alongside Windows. Would recommend this approach if you’re serious about the Roots stack.

Hi thanks for you reply, I began to think I was alone trying to make Trellis work on Windows.

Same for me : too many struggles so I decided to let it go and abandon Trellis for now. I wanted to give a try to the full Roots stack but what does really matter for me now is Bedrock + Sage.

I started a local development stack with ddev and will think about the deployment part later.
