Is there support for creating a Vagrant Box repository [0]? Is it planned?

-- RGL

[0] for hosting the box itself and the box metadata as described at https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/boxes/format.html

Hi Rui,

We only have received very limited interest in having Vagrant format support integrated in Nexus. Nothing is planned at the moment.

Actually that would be of interest to me also. In the absence of a
specific feed type could these be located in a raw repo ?

I've stored them in repo's before, it has been a little while, but basically a manual upload (or curl).   Then the box file is just referenced in your Vagrantfile or via the 'vagrant box add' command.

At one point we even gave them maven coordinates (though this is not needed)

You can put pretty much anything into a RAW repo. The only downside is that we don't know much about the metadata, etc... 

As Peter said, we've had limited interest in a full Vagrant Box repository, but it's nice to hear more voices. If we put something into action I'll let you know!

In the meantime if you want to batch up load stuff to a raw repo you
can use the rawPopulator script.
