Integrate github action
Heya I've managed to get nixbox building in github actions for virtualbox and libvirt in my own fork They are currently published under my own namespace in vagrant cloud. If the maintainers of this repo want to integrate it and publish under the nixos account I can open a PR
@zimbatm are you interesting in adding such a github action? Maybe to trigger on a release? Or would you be down to upload new boxes for nix 23.11? I can build the boxes of all the providers, but obviously I can't upload them.
Fyi the actions started intermittently failing more and more often, so I need to do some work to try and fix it
yeah sounds good. especially now that GHA supports nested virtualization, it should make building those VM images much easier. then upload them as release assets.
I'm not actively using this project anymore, so if any of you or @ifurther also wants to take over maintenance, that would be nice.
Invited you both since you are active on the project. Make yourself at home and let me know if you need anything.
Thanks @zimbatm! How do we get the credentials for uploading to VagrantCloud?
I added the ATLAS_TOKEN secret to GitHub Actions, for the automation. If you sign up to https://app.vagrantup.com/account/new and give me your account, I will also give you access to the org.
@zimbatm my vargrnat username is same for my github username. @pdietl the github action ubuntu image have the packer, but no VirtualBox. So user uses the macos to use vagrant.
Invited you to the "nixbox" org. I propose that we start fresh, so you can also organize things like you want.
Hi @hennersz I add the ci building the image now, cloud you help me add the flake function to new ?
