Vagrantbox with Hyper-V not starting - vagrant

I'm trying to setup a vagrantbox with Hyper-V on my local windows-10 mashine. My Workstation is running behind a proxy, but I configured a local cntlm proxy to get around these limitations. Proxy settings work fine since I was able to install a vagrant plugin and downloan a box image.
But now my guest linux does not start up and I am running out of ideas.
My vagrant file
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "bento/ubuntu-18.04" # ubuntu 18.04 image with support for virtual box and Hyper-V
config.vm.hostname = "skywalker"
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.memory = "2048"
end
config.vm.provider "hyperv" do |hv|
hv.memory = "2048"
end
config.ssh.shell = "bash -c 'BASH_ENV=/etc/profile exec bash'" # prevent tty errors
# install the vagrant plugin "vagrant-cachier" to cache downloaded artifacts
if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
config.cache.scope = :box
end
# vagrant behing local cntlm proxy if plugin exists (= provinzial win10 workstation)
if !Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-proxyconf")
config.proxy.http = "http://localhost:3128/"
config.proxy.https = "http://localhost:3128/"
config.proxy.no_proxy = "localhost, 127.0.0.1"
end
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# provision virtual mashine (basic setup) and install applications in VM
#config.vm.provision "shell", path: "scripts/install-ansible.sh"
config.vm.provision "shell", path: "scripts/install-ncdu.sh"

Starting the box with this settings results in

Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that
Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within
the configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.
If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that
Vagrant had when attempting to connect to the machine. These errors
are usually good hints as to what may be wrong.
If you're using a custom box, make sure that networking is properly
working and you're able to connect to the machine. It is a common
problem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes.
Verify that authentication configurations are also setup properly,
as well.
If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase
the timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value.
On a different mashine with VirtualBox as VM provider this Vagrantfile works fine. Sadly I cannot use any VM provider other than Hyper-V on my windows mashine due to limitations which are out of my control ...
I set up Hyper-V using Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance and best regards. Sebastian

I went through this exercise last week and saw similar problems. I made lot of progress following these steps and the vm's get spun up at a reasonable time under windows 10 hyper-v. This is what i did.
Followed this blog and tried creating a vm successfully first.
https://win32.io/posts/Vagrant-Install-HyperV
Then i created a simple vagrantfile and got it to work successfully. Here is mine ,
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "hashicorp/bionic64"
config.vm.hostname = 'utility-server-1'
config.vm.network 'public_network', bridge: 'Internet'
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
config.vm.provider "hyperv" do |vb|
vb.memory = "4024"
vb.cpus = 2
vb.vmname = 'utility-server-1'
end
end
Once this works, add more complex steps from your vagrantfile, like shell scripts and forwarded ports.

After PC restarted the vagrant machine fails to starts. It shows port collision

UPDATE: After host PC reboot vagrant up shows port collision on any port
My vagrant machine fails to start.
Usually it was working normally, but today after I restarted my PC the vagrant machine no more starts.
I did not change the Vagrantfile.
It says about ports collision.
If I remove the 6379 setting for redis, then it says for port 1080 and so on.
Like all ports have the collision.
If I try to run the macine via VMware - then it starts OK, but I cannont connect to it via ssh, because it doesn't have the settings that are defined in Vagrantfile...
Here is the log:

Vagrant found a port collision for the specified port and virtual machine.
While this port was marked to be auto-corrected, the ports in the
auto-correction range are all also used.

But every time I try to bring my vagrant up i get below error message.

1. How can i correct this error?
2. Share the complete folder from windows to vm?
Connect the Guest VM using WinSCP. Copy the VBoxGuestAddition.iso from the host machine. In my case, the VBoxGuestAddition present in C:\ProgramFiles\Oracle\VirtualBox.
Once iso file copied to Guest VM, login to GUest VM using putty.
mkdir /media/GuestAdditionsISO
Then execute the below command
mount -o loop /path/of/VBoxGuestAddition.iso /media/GuestAdditionsISO
Once mount command executed successfully,
cd /media/GuestAdditionsISO
sudo ./VBoxLinuxGuestAddition.run
Then re-start the VM. This works for me

I am trying to setup the vagrant environment but this error occurs default: VM not created. Moving on

I am working on to setup the vagrant environment on the mac. I have done the following steps.
Installed the virtualbox
Clone my project to local disk
Downloaded the box and added the box successfully
I have also edit the vagrant file and add the name of box to the vagrant file.
Now when i run the command "vagrant provision" this error occurs
default: VM not created. Moving on...
I have google it a lot but no idea that what to do.
sudo vagrant box list

You need to spin the VM first, the first command to run is
$ vagrant up
this will bring your VM up and provision it if this is the first time this particular VM has been started.
once the VM is up and running you can run vagrant provision to force the (re)provisioning of the running VM.
You can read more about vagrant cli option at https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/

Access django server in vagrant virtualbox on host machine?

I am using windows and putty to ssh to vagrant virtualbox.I cannot access the django server running in vagrant virtualbox using http://localhost:9991

How do i access the server from host(Windows)?
I would suggest (on the Guest):
sudo netstat -lnutp
and having a look at what ports are open, and the process which owns them. If the one you want is missing, make sure the service which is responsible for it has been started, or start it yourself. From the looks of your Vagrantfile, this would be the "Zulip development environment".

what i do not understand is what could be stopping it from being accessible from any machine. The documentation asked to use the link directly.
Vagrant share is designed for sharing access to an application hosted on a VM, NOT for sharing the actual VM. If you want to share the VM itself you need to run vagrant package to pack it, and then put it on a web server with a metadata.json or at a URL where the other user can add it directly. Can you clarify if you want to copy this box to another machine or simply access a service running on the initial vagrant box?
