Hi, here are new vagrant boxes for virtualbox derived from the nixbox project for nixos 14.12:
- zimbatm/nixos-14.12-x86_64 <https://atlas.hashicorp.com/zimbatm/boxes/nixos-14.12-x86_64> - zimbatm/nixos-14.12-i686 <https://atlas.hashicorp.com/zimbatm/boxes/nixos-14.12-i686> Vagrant boxes are useful for adopters who haven’t switched fully to NixOS to try things out. They could also potentially used to build closures for NixOps deploys. Known limitations The vagrant-nixos <https://github.com/oxdi/vagrant-nixos> plugin which allows to change the hostname, ip and provision the box from the Vagrantfile is supported by the images but needs to be fixes to generate derivations who are compatible with nixos 14.12. Future plans The boxes are now built by Atlas. Github integration is also coming so that build are executed on each commit. Support for the vmware providers is also planned. 14.12 doesn’t support the vmware guest additions but the latest unstable does. It might be possible to automate unstable builds on each release. Other providers are also possible. My hope is to make the vagrant images official so that responsibility can be shared for their maintenance. Right now there is a dozen of github repos that do the same thing with slight variations and varying state of decay so there is clearly a need. Cheers, zimbatm
