Create scratch org with appexchange apps

Hello everybody!!

Is there a way to create a scratch org with all packages from appexchange that there are in the production?

Maybe using the project-scratch-def.json file?

Thanks in advance

HI Iago,

This should be possible based on latest  sfdcfox's comment on (https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/198080/installing-managed-packages-to-scratch-org-via-configuration).

If you do not have any dependencies, the most simple format is to use a package.xml mdapi style deployment.
sfdx force:mdapi:deploy -d packages/ -u alias -w 99
Where packages/ contains a package.xml: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"> <types> <members>*</members> <name>InstalledPackage</name> </types> </Package>
And, for each package to install, a NAMESPACE.installedPackage:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <InstalledPackage xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <activateRSS>false</activateRSS> <versionNumber>216.10.1</versionNumber> <password>ClearTextPassword</password> </InstalledPackage>

<password> is required if the package install has a password, and must not be supplied if there is no package install password.

You might also want to try the Org Shape(Beta) feature.

Hi Iago Silva,
Greetings!

To implement this, first, you have to enable the dev hub in the org.
Then authenticate that dev hub in Visual Studio Code using Salesforce CLI.
After this, create a scratch org.
then you can manage apps.

But this way I have to install manually every app.
I wish I had a way to automate this on creation of the scratch org
