Vagrant base boxes don't exist

[zack-r-s]

The project is built successfully, however, the base box for default scenario does not exist. I have tried a few scenarios with the same result. Upon checking the URL: app.vagrantcloud is migrating to Hashicorp Cloud, and the Secgen HC repo has no versions available for any of the boxes, so there is nothing to download. I have also noted that the Bookworm base module references the Stretch box in the URL. IS there a current work-around or fix planned? It seems to me that all base images now need to be build from scratch locally.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I was under the impression that the migration was going to happen automatically. We'll look into this over the next week.

Great, thanks!

The same issue here also, Download link for all secgen boxes not found. Can you please provide secgen base boxes

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'secgen/debian_stretch_server' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...
default: Box Provider: virtualbox
default: Box Version: 9.5.0
==> default: Loading metadata for box 'secgen/debian_stretch_server'
default: URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/api/v2/vagrant/secgen/debian_stretch_server
The box you're attempting to add doesn't support the provider
you requested. Please find an alternate box or use an alternate
provider. Double-check your requested provider to verify you didn't
simply misspell it.

If you're adding a box from HashiCorp's Vagrant Cloud, make sure the box is
released.

Name: secgen/debian_stretch_server
Address: https://vagrantcloud.com/api/v2/vagrant/secgen/debian_stretch_server
Requested provider: virtualbox (amd64)

Hi @zack-r-s @krishh547 I've managed to recover our Vagrant base boxes. They should all be available again now.

However, keep in mind that we are aware that the Virtualbox bases are a bit out of date.

To get everything working great you should provision some VMs, and then for Debian Buster and Debian Bookworm bases it will actually pull down Debian Stretch (an older version) -- you then need to run updates on the base VM (open the VM up in your .vagrant directory) to bring it to the correct matching version of Debian. After that all the scenarios using those Debian versions (i.e. most of them) should work correctly.

Thanks, Cliffe. Will try this.

I have a similar problem here except I got a 501 instead of a 400:

Project files created.
Building project: /home/tux/Downloads/SecGen/secgen/projects/SecGen20241126_185100
Loading vagrant (up) in /home/tux/Downloads/SecGen/secgen/projects/SecGen20241126_185100

    escalation: Box Provider: virtualbox

There was an error while downloading the metadata for this box.
The error message is shown below:

Non-zero exit status...

Any updates on this?

In response to @Luckytrang2010's issue, I encountered the same problem. The issue is within the Vagrantfile configuration. There are two steps to building VMs; 1) building the project output and 2) building VMs based on that output. If it says Project files created. that would indicate the first step is successful, so there is a problem in Vagrant file in projects/[generated scenario].

I changed vm.box = "debian/buster64" instead of "modules_bases_debian_stretch_server". Additionally, you might need to manually add the required Debian box before running Vagrant as vagrant box add debian/buster64. After that "vagrant up" should work.
