VirtualBox: physical network interfaces were not found
Using the trival example:
Could not start the machine nixops-b8bb74cc-88c6-11e8-866d-6a00016d2c00-webserver because the following physical network interfaces were not found:
vboxnet0 (adapter 2)
You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine.
I then change the settings of the virtual machine to use internal network, and it boots up, but after getting the IP address, NixOps seems unable to connect to it:
nixops deploy -d trivial

The solution seems to be this:
And create a host network there.
I don't see any such option in VirtualBox 6.1. Hunting around all over the place, can't find it.
In Virtualbox 6.1 it's a bit different. Use "Host Network Manager" and add a vboxnet0 network.
