Jacob,
There are three pretty straight forward ways of doing this. As Chris
said, vagrant is a great tool. You can use HyperV or VirtualBox pretty
easily via vagrant. HyperV is the virtualization technology/engine that
vagrant uses to configure and run the VM. An alternative option for
simply getting experience with Linux is docker. You can install docker
and get a Linux container up and running really easily. The last option
is setting up a VM via WSL2. Again, this is farily easily done.
do you know which Linux distribution your work is going to use for
development and for production? Which technology you use may be
somewhat influenced by what target distribution you want to run in your VM.
PuTTY is pretty accessible and easy to use. personally, I use PuTTY,
but I also use the port of bash for MSys2. Many of the Linux VMs you
can get already have a SSH server set up.
Regards,
jad Wauthier

local development. I suspect I may still have a need at some point to access
some of these pre-existing Hyper-V VMs, so I imagine in that case I’d probably
just need to get someone to configure it to have a working SSH server.

Jacob,
I've used Vagrant (www.vagrantup.com) for quickly getting virtual
machines up and running.
The Vagrant VMs are meant for development and testing, not production.
The steps would be:
1. make a new directory and cd to it
2. run 'vagrant init' which will create a file called Vagrantfile
3. Edit Vagrantfile to specify the setup of your VM (Linux distribution,
type of networking, etc.).
4. Run 'vagrant up' to create the VM
5. Run 'vagrant ssh' to connect via ssh using command-line, or 'vagrant
ssh-config' to print the ssh configuration that you'd need when setting
up a connection in a GUI client.
Hope this helps.
Chris

applications that run on JBOSS. We are starting to containerize our
applications, which means I will need to start getting educated about Linux
since I really haven???t used it much at all. I use a screen reader, and I???m
trying to anticipate any potential accessibility roadblocks now so I can
hopefully focus on the other aspects of the learning curve without spending a
bunch of time fighting with screen reading challenges.
I???m wondering if anyone has experience accessing a Linux virtual machine on
Windows using Hyper-V. I believe I may need to do that in order to manage Linux
containers, but I???m not sure the best way to make it accessible. It would be
nice if I could access the VM from a terminal using my Windows screen reader,
possibly by using Putty or something similar. I suspect the VM would need to be
configured for that, so I???d probably need sighted help in order to set it up
each time. If anyone has any suggestions for quickly getting screen reader
access to a Linux virtual machine I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks!
