Hello folks,
the situation: My boss wants me to automate the process of configuring systems for new employees. His "vision" is that we would install a naked system and have the users connect to a virtual machine on a server. This virtual machine should run everything the users need to develop their applications - most namely Eclipse with a fairly specific plugin. So, I started doing research on Vagrant. While it seems to be a fantastic tool I'm simply not sure it is what I need. Most people using vagrant seem to develop on their local machine and use the vagrant-managed VM to simulate development environments along the lines of an apache webserver. So my question is: Is it viable to use Vagrant to create machines provisioned with a Linux GUI (Xfce would be preferred), Eclipse and a few other smaller programs? Updating the image should be a fairly simple process. The Clients are then supposed to connect to the server via PuTTy, ssh into their vagrant box and find themselves inside a fully operational linux that is preconfigured with eclipse. I realize this is a fairly broad question, but so far my research has not yielded a sufficient answer.
