Hi,

Here is an error I had when trying to bring zimbatm/nixbox64 machine up:

$ vagrant up --provider virtualbox

The "metadata.json" file for the box 'zimbatm/nixbox64' was not found.
Boxes require this file in order for Vagrant to determine the
provider it was made for. If you made the box, please add a
"metadata.json" file to it. If someone else made the box, please
notify the box creator that the box is corrupt. Documentation for
box file format can be found at the URL below:

Hi @bbenoist ,

I should probably take the nixbox images down. Try using one of these ones instead:

vagrant init zimbatm/nixos-15.09-i686
# or
vagrant init zimbatm/nixos-15.09-x86_64

OK, thank you for the help (and for the plugin you made) :+1:
