Shawn,

I have been looking at the fortress build process and install scripts. In the 
past, we have built ansible roles 
(https://github.com/PennState/fortress-in-a-box), but they still rely on the 
ant tasks. One of the ideas I had was to build out the ansible roles to install 
and configure fortress (openldap, tomcat, core, commander, etc...) without 
relying on ant. Then use these roles to build docker images. This would give 
users the option of running ansible directly, running ansible with vagrant, or 
running already built docker images. The downside of this approach is that 
while docker can be run on windows, ansible can not run on windows as a control 
machine. Is running on windows a goal of the project? (could still be done, 
would just be more manual process) Thoughts on this approach?

Thanks,

~Chris Pike
