VirtualBox support #7

Closed kenji21 closed 2 years ago

kenji21 commented 2 years ago

As of version 7 of VirtualBox (still in beta), you can run arm boxes (if you download the preview : https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.0/VirtualBox-7.0.0_BETA4-153978-macOSArm64.dmg)

Then you need to patch some files in the vagrant VirtualBox plugin :

With no experience creating vagrant boxes, how can I help creating boxes for "VirtualBox arm" ?

@kenji21 Hi 👋 Yeah it is, as per the release notes, unsupported work in progress so until this hits some kind of stability, and vagrant supports it, then it won't be worth investing the time into playing with all the workarounds etc. Thanks for bringing this issue up though, it will be interesting to revisit it later on! For now I will close it out 😄
