	Provisioning Fedora CoreOS on VirtualBox
	This guide shows how to provision new Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) nodes on the VirtualBox hypervisor.
	Prerequisites
	Before importing an FCOS machine, you must have an Ignition configuration file containing your customizations. If you do not have one, see xref:producing-ign.adoc[Producing an Ignition File].
	Fedora CoreOS has a default `core` user that can be used to explore the OS. If you want to use it, finalize its xref:authentication.adoc[configuration] by providing e.g. an SSH key.
	Downloading the OVA
	Fedora CoreOS is designed to be updated automatically, with different schedules per stream. Once you have picked the relevant stream, you can download the latest OVA:
	STREAM="stable" coreos-installer download -s "${STREAM}" -p virtualbox -f ova
	Alternatively, OVA images can be manually downloaded from the https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/download/?stream=stable#baremetal[download page].
	Booting a new VM on VirtualBox
	You can set up a VirtualBox virtual machine through the GUI or via the https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#vboxmanage[`VBoxManage` CLI]. This guide will use the CLI for setting up the VM.
	Importing the OVA
	To import the OVA, use `VBoxManage import`:
	VM_NAME=my-instance VBoxManage import --vsys 0 --vmname "$VM_NAME" fedora-coreos-{stable-version}-virtualbox.x86_64.ova
	Setting the Ignition config
	Ignition reads its configuration from the `/Ignition/Config` https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/virtualbox/6.0/user/guestadd-guestprops.html[guest property] of the virtual machine. At present, guest properties can only be set from the host command line, and not via the GUI. To set the Ignition config for a VM:
	IGN_PATH="/path/to/config.ign" VM_NAME=my-instance VBoxManage guestproperty set "$VM_NAME" /Ignition/Config "$(cat $IGN_PATH)"
	Ignition config size limitations
