VirtualBox and Vagrant both don‘t seem to get as much attention from their creators as they used to. Maybe it‘s time to check out some alternatives.
A solution from Canonical that “uses KVM on Linux, Hyper-V on Windows and HyperKit on macOS to run the VM with minimal overhead.”
I want to investigate if this is a better solution. First experiments:
multipass launch --cpus 4 --mem 8G --name dotfiles 22.04 multipass mount $HOME/Code/metal dotfiles:/home/ubuntu/Code/dotfiles
multipass info dotfiles multipass list
multipass start dotfiles multipass exec dotfiles -- bash multipass stop dotfiles
lima looks quite promising. It is not bound to Ubuntu, but seems to prefer it. Describes itself as WSL2, but for macOS.
