Hi all, a quick update.
https://github.com/django/django-box now has a live compiled box available
from https://atlas.hashicorp.com/djangoproject/boxes/django-box-1.11

Microsoft to allow SQLServer running on Linux and drivers for linux to
connect to SQL server, but I wasn't aware that those projects had
materialized yet. This specific Vagrant image is an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual

Server. I've had to deploy this for some projects at work that don't (yet)
use PostgreSQL. This sounds like a fantastic tool for testing, as well as
examples for people just getting started; wiring up a database for the
An interesting idea put forward by Ed Morley on the issues tracker
(https://github.com/django/django-box/issues/12) is to merge the django-box
project into the django main repository directly. The meat of the
suggestion is copied below:

Hi All,
At the PyCON AU sprints I began working on a project for building a vagrant
virtual machine that would facilitate testing django, itself, against most
of the databases that django supports. I forked
https://github.com/jphalip/djangocore-box which was last updated about 3
years ago and
