Hello Georg

usually you put the box in a internal webserver, or publish in atlas,
so instead of sharing a big file, you just put in a project a
Vagranfile

easier to distribute this way.

the vagrant file can be minimal, just to tell vagrant what box to use.

If you have the box local, and you will name your box, say awesome.box

you can do this

vagrant init -m awesome

then edit Vagrantifile and add

config.vm.box_url = "awesome.box"

that will do the trick


other option is add the box manually, like

vagrant box add --name awesome --provider=virtualbox

then you can do

vagrant init -m awesome
vagrant up

but there always must be a vagrantfile

if you publish your boxes in atlas (with an url and externally hosted,
or upload/hosted in atlas) you can use this:

the box will be named  user/awesome

then will be easier

vagrant init -m user/awesome
vagrant up
