I tried to set up a virtual machine. Using vagrant, because that’s what the cool kids are using. And I wanted to learn. I learned a lot.

TL;DR: Everything is b0rken, I need a different job. Something with wood.

It started with the classic 2001 „I am sorry Dave. I can’t do that”:

vagrant up                                   
....
vm:
* The box 'debian/jessie64' could not be found.

Googling that brought me to a thread from August 2015 and this little gem:
Apparently if it’s before 1.5, it doesn’t integrate with „HashiCorp Atlas,” the service that hosts [the boxes].

Well …

dpkg -l vagrant                                                  
...
||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
ii  vagrant        1.4.3-1      all          Tool for building and distributin

Further reading brought this up:

There is a .deb of the latest version on vagrantup.com, I’d strongly recommend just using that if you can. Ran into this same issue when trying to set folks up with Vagrant dev environments before. 1.4.3 is ancient and practically no modern Vagrantfile will run on it.
