Hi Victor,

Documenting using Virtual Box would be good. The inkscape-web wiki is
on gitlab:  https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/wikis/

A bundle can be made and made available on the website. Although for
that sort of bundling (if I understand this all right) you can make a
windows based ansible container instead. But I don't know much about
all that.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
