Error when Launching a vagrant box using "vagrant up" on Windows

Question

I'm attempting to set a virtual machine enviroment using vagrant. I've done a couple of tries with different boxes via vagrantcloud.com, BUT I'm always getting stuck when I try to launch this box: I added a URL on vagrant file for downloads https://app.vagrantup.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64 , but i doesnt seem to work

λ vagrant init x9 ubuntu/boxes/bionic64

λ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... default: Box 'x9' could not be found. Attempting to find and install... default: Box Provider: virtualbox default: Box Version: >= 0 default: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly... default: Adding box 'x9' (v0) for provider: virtualbox default: Downloading: https://app.vagrantup.com/ubuntu/boxes/bionic64 default: An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try again.

Failed to connect to app.vagrantup.com port 443: Timed out

Anyone knows how do I proceed ?

Answer 1

it's normal it cannot find this box if you haven't downloaded it yet. I tried and it works perfect, it downloads and start the box, i share you my basic config (which is what i tested)

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
end

This is my output:

The only possible explanation is that you have bad internet connection...try to do a speed test here:

if you have bad connection try restart your modem or contact your internet provider
