NixOS boxes for Vagrant

=======================

[NixOS](http://nixos.org) is a linux distribution based on a purely functional

package manager. This project builds [vagrant](http://vagrantup.com) .box

images.

Status

------

stable

Usage

-----

```

vagrant init nixos/nixos-18.09-i686

# or

vagrant init nixos/nixos-18.09-x86_64

```

Also have a look at the accompanying nixos vagrant plugin:

https://github.com/nix-community/vagrant-nixos-plugin

Building the images

-------------------

First install [packer](http://packer.io) and

[virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/).

Three packer builders are currently supported:

- Virtualbox

- qemu / libvirt

- VMware

- Hyper-V

Have a look at the different `make build` target to build your image.

If you build on a host that does not support Makefile, here are some examples:

```

packer build --only=virtualbox-iso nixos-i686.json

packer build --only=qemu nixos-x86_64.json

packer build --only=vmware-iso nixos-x86_64.json

packer build --only=hyperv-iso nixos-x86_64.json

```

The vagrant .box image is now ready to go and you can use it in vagrant:

```

vagrant box add nixbox32 packer_virtualbox-iso_virtualbox.box

# or

vagrant box add nixbox64 packer_virtualbox-iso_virtualbox.box

```

Updating the ISO urls

---------------------

To update the ISO urls to the latest release run: `make update`

Troubleshooting

-----------------

If you build on a Windows OS, please make sure you keep the unix file encoding of the generated configuration files
