We've received challenges that install Wordpress, IIS, or even Apache. Use what you know.
You'll also be writing a simple script to query [login to view URL], and append the output to a file. This script can be written in the language of your choice, and should be created on your vagrant box when running vagrant up. Feel free to install any dependencies your script needs via your Vagrantfile.
The script should append output to the file in the following format.
