After 31 December 2026

This box is served by HCP Vagrant, which stops on 31 December 2026. From then on vagrant box add vmware/photonfails unless the publisher moves it and you point Vagrant at the new place. To keep working without waiting:

1. Export the versions you use now, while the API still answers: a tested script downloads every version and writes a metadata.json.
2. Host the copy on any static host and set config.vm.box_url, or in a registry that keeps the name vmware/photon through VAGRANT_SERVER_URL: BoxHarbor.
3. Watch the publisher: many are announcing new homes in their repositories. What each option keeps.
