NixOS boxes for Vagrant
=======================
[NixOS](http://nixos.org) is a linux distribution based on a purely functional
package manager. This project builds .box images that can be used by
[vagrant](http://vagrantup.com), the VM manager.
Status
------
stable
Install
-------
```
vagrant box add nixbox32 http://zimbatm.s3.amazonaws.com/nixbox/nixos32-virtualbox.box
vagrant init nixbox32
# or
vagrant box add nixbox64 http://zimbatm.s3.amazonaws.com/nixbox/nixos64-virtualbox.box
vagrant init nixbox64
```
Building the images
-------------------
First install [packer](http://packer.io) and
[virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
Then:
```
packer build nixbox32-template.json
# or
packer build nixbox64-template.json
```
The .box image is now ready to go and you can use it in vagrant:
```
vagrant box add nixbox32 nixbox32-virtualbox.box
# or
vagrant box add nixbox64-nixbox64-virtualbox.box
```
