# Converts VirtualBox Image to Qubes HVM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Qubes documentation details the process of converting a VirtualBox image
|
||
|
|
to an HVM in [this link](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/standalones-and-hvms/#converting-virtualbox-vms-to-qubes-hvms).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This task assumes that the VirtualBox image is already built and hosted on
|
||
|
|
VagrantUp or a similar registry. It downloads the `.box` file, extracts the required disk
|
||
|
|
image, and then converts it to an HVM to integrate it with QubesOS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A sample `.box` file can be found [here](https://app.vagrantup.com/Megabyte/boxes/Ubuntu-Desktop/versions/21.10/providers/virtualbox.box).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: It is also possible to extract the VirtualBox files that QubesOS needs during build time with Packer (the .ova file). However,
|
||
|
|
it would better to use the `.box` file available on VagrantUp, if possible.
|
||
|
|
[This guide](https://gist.github.com/aondio/66a79be10982f051116bc18f1a5d07dc) shows how to convert a `.ova` into `.box`. This
|
||
|
|
script essentially needs to do the opposite.
