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
+

* Storage
+

* Network
+

* Other
+
