[!WARNING] This module can seriously slow down a rebuild as sometimes the entire virtual box needs to be downloaded and compiled from source. Using this module is discouraged.

Virtual Box

Overview

VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. It allows you to spin up VMs really easily.

Settings

This is what the options look like you can add to your machine-settings:

{
  machine-settings.users.${user}.init.modules.virtualbox = {
    enable = boolean;
  }; 
}
