Use Docker as the provider for Vagrant on Windows

To use Docker as the provider for Vagrant on our Windows, follow these steps:

Install Vagrant on our Windows by following the instructions on the official Vagrant documentation.

Install the Docker provider plugin for Vagrant by running the following command in our Terminal window:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-docker-compose

This command will install the Docker provider plugin for Vagrant.

Create a new Vagrantfile in our project directory or use an existing one.

In our Vagrantfile, configure Vagrant to use the Docker provider by adding the following line:

config.vm.provider "docker"

You can also configure additional settings for the Docker provider, such as the image to use, by adding more lines to our Vagrantfile.

Run the vagrant up command to start the Vagrant environment with the Docker provider.

vagrant up --provider=docker

This command will start the Vagrant environment with the Docker provider.

Once the Vagrant environment is started, we can use the vagrant ssh command to SSH into the environment and interact with our Docker containers.
