Allow user to configure base image of VirtualBox deployments #534

Open 3noch opened 7 years ago

3noch commented 7 years ago

I have deployed several GCE servers based on gs://nixos/nixos-16.09pre-git-x86_64-linux.raw.tar.gz. However, I realized that for local deployments to VirtualBox nixops 1.4 is building based on a 15.09 image. I need to be able to change this so I can get my local servers to closely match my remote server.

It appears I can do this by setting disks.disk1.baseImage. However, the tooling to pull down an existing image is all hidden and must be copy/pasted.

Not to mention the default image file in master does not exist!

@3noch At least the image has been updated in 73388c3041f4292ee6f5ac302dda91e27eedb31e This bug will be closed once #511 is closed.
