Windows VM

A Windows-based VM to test JabRef. As user, you need to ensure to have the proper Windows license to use this VM.

In case you have many CPU cores, you can adapt vb.cpus in Vagrantfile to a higher number.

One has to install the JabRef Browser Extension manually.

Troubleshooting

"Waiting for machine to reboot..."

In case Vagrant reports "Waiting for machine to reboot..." and nothing happens, one has to "power off" the machine, execute vagrant destory, and then run vagrant up again.

Background

Vagrantfile is based on SeisoLLC/windows-sandbox.

The most use image seems to be the Windows 10 image by gusztavvargadr. List of all images at https://portal.cloud.hashicorp.com/vagrant/discover/gusztavvargadr.

Chocolatey is used instead of winget-cli, because Chocolatey installation does not hit GitHub's rate limits during unattended installation.
