Dyson

It is possible to spin up a VirtualBox machine using Vagrant. See https://git.osdyson.ru/vagrant/dyson

Some things do not work yet (e. g. mounting /vagrant), but basically it is usable.

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

sudo /sbin/mount -F vboxfs -o uid=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -u vagrant`,gid=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -g vagrant` vagrant /vagrant
