Build nginx from source in Vagrant/Ubuntu18

[Anthony Jackman]

Basic: do I need to issue a ssh login command at the beginning of my provisioning script to build Nginx from its source on a Vagrant/Ubtuntu18 box or is this done behind the scenes as a part of "vagrant up --provision" command?

Long: I realize easy to just install a prebuilt nginx (usual method). It's easy to follow steps after a vagrant ssh login to build nginx one command line at a time. But can this same exact build sequence be done in a provisioning script? I am trying to learn how to do things the hard way. And for own education.

Shell provisioning scripts are run on the guest, so there is no need to do a ssh login.

@Jim McGinness,

Thank you!  I am slightly comfortable on how to build Nginx on a Linux machine (no VM).  I wanted to add doing the build within a Vagrant environment to my 'toolbelt'.  Might as well push my knowledge down the street.

Respectfully,

Tony
