Rancher Install
using VirtualBox, vagrant
Prerequisites
Note
Vagrant will require plugins to create VirtualBox VMs. Install them with the following commands:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vboxmanage
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
Configuration
my local ip address 192.168.129.106.
Configuration Files
below code is bootstrap provision script for all VMs.

below Vagrantfile is generate 5 VMs(1 VM is for rancher, 4 VM is for k8s).
Prepare at least 4GB of memory for Rancher.
VM network's range is 192.168.56.0/24.
