This host is currently assumed to be a VirtualBox VM. The VirtualBox VM should be configured with the following:
* CPU
+
As many physical (non-SMT) cores as your CPU has ideally, since NixOS does need to build things occasionally.
* RAM
+
8GB is probably a good starting point. If the installer hangs, you probably need to increase this from the presumably lower value you have set.
* Display
+
The NixOS configuration assumes VMSVGA.
* Storage
+
The installer assumes you've selected an AHCI SATA controller using a dynamically allocated VDI of 100GB. This might need to be bigger, given how disk intensive NixOS can be.
* Network
+
My testing NIC was configured in VirtualBox to use NAT and virtio-net.
* Other
+
This configuration works best if you also enable the bidirectional shared clipboard functionality under General -> Advanced.
