So here are the steps I wound up taking to get this up and running.

When I originally wrote this post back in September 2018, the containerized BitWarden solution was called `bitwarden_rs`. The project [has since been renamed](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/discussions/1642) to `vaultwarden`, and I've since moved to the hosted version of BitWarden. I have attempted to update this article to account for the change but have not personally tested this lately. Good luck, dear reader!

### Create a heavy VM, as a treat
|
||||
Having proven to myself that Vagrant does work on a Chromebook, let's see how it does with a slightly-heavier VM.... like [Windows 11](https://app.vagrantup.com/oopsme/boxes/windows11-22h2).

|

Windows 11 makes for a pretty hefty VM which will require significant storage space. My Chromebook's Linux environment ran out of storage space the first time I attempted to deploy this guy. Fortunately ChromeOS makes it easy to allocate more space to Linux (**Settings > Advanced > Developers > Linux development environment > Disk size**). You'll probably need at least 30GB free to provision this VM.

On July 20, 2022, VMware released a [major update](https://blogs.vmware.com/arm/2022/07/20/1-10/) for the ESXi-ARM Fling. Among [other fixes and improvements](https://flings.vmware.com/esxi-arm-edition#changelog), this version enables **in-place ESXi upgrades** and [adds support for the Quartz64's **on-board NIC**](https://twitter.com/jmcwhatever/status/1549935971822706688).

### vRealize Orchestrator actions
|
||||
My immediate goal for this exercise is create a set of vRealize Orchestrator actions which take in a zone/location identifier from the Cloud Assembly request and return a list of images which are available for deployment there. I'll start with some utility actions to do the heavy lifting, and then I'll be able to call them from other actions as things get more complicated/interesting. Before I can do that, though, I'll need to add the vRA instance as an HTTP REST endpoint in vRO.

The format of PostgreSQL data changes with new releases, and that means that the data created by different major releases are not compatible. Unless you take steps to upgrade the data format, you'll have problems when a new major release of PostgreSQL arrives. Avoid the headache: pin this to a major version (as I did with `image: postgres:14` above) so you can upgrade on your terms.

Since releasing this integration, I've learned that phpIPAM intends for the `isPool` field to identify networks where the entire range (including the subnet and broadcast addresses) are available for assignment. As a result, I no longer recommend using that field. Instead, consider [creating a custom field](https://github.com/jbowdre/phpIPAM-for-vRA8/blob/main/docs/custom_field.md) for tagging networks for vRA availability.

I decided to add the extra `filter_by=isPool&filter_value=1` argument to the query so that it will only return subnets marked as a pool in phpIPAM. This way I can use phpIPAM for monitoring address usage on a much larger set of subnets while only presenting a handful of those to vRA.

The `-w 0` / `--wrap=0` argument tells `base64` to *not* wrap the encoded lines after a certain number of characters.

There's already a great write-up (from the source!) on [How Tailscale Works](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/), and it's really worth a read so I won't rehash it fully here. The tl;dr though is that Tailscale makes securely connecting remote systems incredibly easy, and it lets those systems connect with each other directly ("mesh") rather than needing traffic to go through a single VPN endpoint ("hub-and-spoke"). It uses a centralized coordination server to *coordinate* the complicated key exchanges needed for all members of a Tailscale network (a "[tailnet](https://tailscale.com/kb/1136/tailnet/)") to trust each other, and this removes the need for a human to manually edit configuration files on every existing device just to add a new one to the mix. Tailscale also leverages [magic :tada:](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/) to allow Tailscale nodes to communicate with each other without having to punch holes in firewall configurations or forward ports or anything else tedious and messy. (And in case that the typical NAT traversal techniques don't work out, Tailscale created the Detoured Encrypted Routing Protocol (DERP[^derp]) to make sure Tailscale can still function seamlessly even on extremely restrictive networks that block UDP entirely or otherwise interfere with NAT traversal.)

It's a no-brainer solution for remote access, but it's important to note that Tailscale is not a VPN *service*; it won't allow you to internet anonymously or make it appear like you're connecting from a different country (unless you configure a Tailscale Exit Node hosted somewhere in The Cloud to do just that).
