  • Closed Issue created by Jean-Paul Calderone

    I set up my new laptop with NixOS 21.11. When I tried to start the localdev cluster, VirtualBox / Vagrant yelled at me:

    The IP address configured for the host-only network is not within the
    allowed ranges. Please update the address used to be within the allowed
    ranges and run the command again.
    
      Address: 192.168.67.21
      Ranges: 192.168.56.0/21
    
    Valid ranges can be modified in the /etc/vbox/networks.conf file. For
    more information including valid format see:
    
      https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_hostonly

    I'm not clear on whether this is a consequence of having a newer version of VirtualBox but https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch15.html#idp6189968 does say:

    Network: More administrative control over host-only network ranges to prevent trouble due to misconfiguration, see Section 6.7, “Host-Only Networking”. Check updated documentation or your VMs may stop working!

    This is a bit vague but maybe it is related.

    The host-only networking documentation does say VirtualBox wants one to use 192.168.56.0/21 though. I don't remember if there was a reason we're using 192.168.67.x instead.
