Example of how to install a inf file:

NB You can also use the dism module cmdlets (e.g. Add-WindowsDriver).

function Install-Driver($path) {
    # trust the driver certificate.
    $catPath = $path.Replace('.inf', '.cat')
    $cerPath = $path.Replace('.inf', '.cer')
    $certificate = (Get-AuthenticodeSignature $catPath).SignerCertificate

rgl

Quick start:

cat >inventory.yml <<'EOF'
all:
  children:
    idrac:
      hosts:
        esxi[1:3]-idrac.example:
 # you can also override a specific host properties:

The gist is:

1. install the normal python from python.org
2. install everything into a venv
3. copy the venv into python embed.

A raw example

unzip python-3.8.0-embed-amd64.zip

Errors while installing k3s with --disable-agent.

I'm using my rgl/k3s-vagrant environment to try this out. I've used the following command to start the vagrant environment:

vagrant up --provider=libvirt s1 # see https://github.com/rgl/k3s-vagrant/blob/master/provision-k3s-server.sh

which will eventually install k3s and error out:
