Do you have any plan for supporing Windows Hyper-V?

Hello,

I would like to try this package for Windows Hyper-V. Or do you have any idea for me?

I don't have Windows much less Windows Server.

I was able to get Hyper-V barely working but it's not easy:

  • There's no official CoreOS vagrant box for Hyper-V (although I was able to get one working in https://github.com/dwickern/coreos-packer)
  • CoreOS doesn't ship with Hyper-V daemons (without this, the guest will not report its IP)
  • NFS shared folder isn't supported on Hyper-V (even with vagrant-winnfsd)
  • SMB isn't supported by CoreOS (missing /sbin/cifs.mount)
  • Rsync works but requires a manual step, and it only copies from host-to-guest
  • Hyper-V doesn't support NAT at all, so you need to use a public network

In conclusion, Hyper-V can work but will not work well. Don't bother.
