# arch-boxes
[](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/arch-boxes/-/pipelines)
Arch-boxes provides several different VM images.
The images are built daily and released fortnightly (via [GitLab CI schedule](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/arch-boxes/-/pipeline_schedules)) and synced to the mirrors.
## Images
### Vagrant
Vagrant images for the VirtualBox and Libvirt provider are released to [Vagrant Cloud](https://app.vagrantup.com/archlinux/boxes/archlinux).
### QCOW2 images
At the time of writing we offer two different QCOW2 images. The images are synced to the mirrors under the `images` directory, e.g.: https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/images/.
#### Basic image
The basic image is meant for local usage and comes preconfigured with the user `arch` (password: `arch`) and sshd running.
#### Cloud image
The cloud image is meant to be used in "the cloud" and comes with [`cloud-init`](https://cloud-init.io/) preinstalled. For tested cloud providers and instructions please see the [ArchWiki's Arch Linux on a VPS page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Linux_on_a_VPS#Official_Arch_Linux_cloud_image).
