The vagrant cloud [https://app.vagrantup.com/nixos has a NixOS box], but it is an older revision and hasn't been updated for a short while<ref>https://logs.nix.samueldr.com/nixos/2018-01-10#822772</ref>, it is currently stuck to the much older 16.09 release.

The tooling used to build the boxes is still available and still maintained. It is '''@zimbatm''''s [https://github.com/zimbatm/nixbox nixbox] project.

== Building a recent box ==

There are some small caveats with the tooling, one will need to do a bit of work to get it working, and then working in a reliable manner on slower hardware.

First, in the <code>nixos-x86_64.json</code> file, remove the post-processor of type atlas, unless you want to push the image on the vagrant cloud (you're on your own there).

Then, it may be necessary to increase the <code>boot_wait</code> a bit, on a Haswell laptop-class CPU, with SSD, 30 seconds was a few seconds too short, doubling is almost sure to be enough for most uses. This is only used once during the build of the .box file.

Then, continue with the [https://github.com/zimbatm/nixbox#building-the-images instructions in the README].
