			== Troubleshooting: VM failing to receive IP address ==

			If you run <code>vagrant up</code> and your VM is stalling with the message <code>Waiting for domain to get an IP address</code>, your networking firewall may be blocking vagrants DHCP requests. You can allow the requests with the following changes to your configuration.nix file:

			<syntaxhighlight lang=nix>
			# Trust libvirt bridge interfaces for VM networking (required for Vagrant DHCP)
			networking.firewall.trustedInterfaces = [ "virbr0" "virbr1" "virbr2" ];
			# Don't let NetworkManager manage libvirt bridges (prevents conflicts)
			networking.networkmanager.unmanaged = [ "virbr0" "virbr1" "virbr2" ];
			</syntaxhighlight>

			== Troubleshooting: conflicting dependencies bundler when installing vagrant plugins==

			As of 18.03 vagrant plugins are broken:

			<syntaxhighlight lang=console>
			$ vagrant plugin update
			Updating installed plugins...
			Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins,
			reported an error. The error is shown below. These errors are usually
			caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network
			issues. The error from Bundler is:
			conflicting dependencies bundler (= 1.14.6) and bundler (= 1.16.1)
			Activated bundler-1.16.1
			which does not match conflicting dependency (= 1.14.6)
			Conflicting dependency chains:
			bundler (= 1.16.1), 1.16.1 activated
			versus:
			bundler (= 1.14.6)
			Gems matching bundler (= 1.14.6):
			bundler-1.14.6
			</syntaxhighlight>

			using the following nix expression fixes the problems:

			<syntaxhighlight lang=nix>
			(import <nixpkgs> {
			overlays = [
			(self: super: {
			bundler = super.bundler.overrideAttrs (old: {
			name = "bundler-1.16.1";
			src = super.fetchurl {
			url = "https://rubygems.org/gems/bundler-1.16.1.gem";
			sha256 = "1s2nq4qnffxg3kwrk7cnwxcvfihlhxm9absl2l6d3qckf3sy1f22";
			};
			});
			})
			];
			}).vagrant
			</syntaxhighlight>
