We also have a repo with scripts/config for setting up vagrant boxes
using packer. Might be a little out of date now but used to work.

https://github.com/mirage/mirage-vagrant-vms

(FWIW I've been trying to update it in the background to implement
Magnus' instructions from the post mentioned above, but haven't
finished yet. https://github.com/mor1/mirage-vagrant-vms if anyone
wants to pick up from where I've currently stalled... :)

I've been working away slowly at this: https://github.com/mattgray/mirage-xen-virtualbox which is basically Magnus' blog post made into a packer template.

I'm aiming at a system where I can compile a unikernel on my host machine, and then run a command that will push the kernel to the vagrant VM, run it (exposing the console somehow), and assign a DNS name using Avahi to the DHCP-assigned IPv4 address. Still pondering that one, but at the moment the box there is able the build and run MirageOS apps. You'll just need to share a directory using NFS. I'll update the docs now with a simple walkthrough.
