[Koha-devel] Trouble in setting up kohadevbox on Win10 prof

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Yeah, Virtualbox/VMware can't be used at the same time as Hyper-V. Theoretically, the latest Virtualbox can use Hyper-V as a backend, but I couldn't get it to work in practice. 

Personally, I've completely moved away from Virtualbox and over to Hyper-V. Docker Desktop uses Hyper-V out of the box, and I was able to get GNS3 working with Hyper-V, so I'm pretty content. 

For what it's worth, Windows users don't have to use "Docker Desktop" and could instead create a Linux VM in Virtualbox and run Docker there instead. Docker Desktop is just more Windows user friendly.  

(Of course, in the next few months, we might get WSL 2 on Windows 10, which will include a real Linux kernel in a thinner virtualization layer, which would allow people to run Docker on Windows without the full Hyper-V VM, but I digress. I'll be exploring that more once it's officially released.)

Greetings,

My virtualbox didn’t play nice with Hyper-V. And various windows features keep turning it back on, GRRRR!

Hit the Windows Key and type “windows features” Hit the Windows Key + W combo to bring up the Windows Settings panel of the Start Screen. Click on Turn Windows features on or off. When the Turn Windows features on or off dialog appears, look for Hyper-V and deselect it. Click OK. Restart your computer when prompted.

dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V

dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /all Restart your computer.

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
Restart your computer

After that, had some issues as my virtualbox, git bash, and vagrant were out of date. So updated those.

Then I was lazy: vagrant up
It bombed, because of linux-headers something.

vagrant ssh
sudo apt install linux-headers<tab and find the right one> exit vagrant halt vagrant up

It then correctly provisioned.

So, while Owen's shared script may be valid, I'm not sure it is necessary to get too detailed.
Also, Jonathan Druart made a good point about the SYNC_REPO path being your local windows path, not the one on the VM.

GPML,
Mark Tompsett
