At this moment, sahara don't work with the libvirt provider, here's the [sahare issue for supporting vagrant-libvirt](https://github.com/jedi4ever/sahara/issues/26). Luckily, leap-cli will only complain about `VBoxManage: not found`, but the VM is started just fine (of cause without snapshot capability). +* there's also [libvirt network still active after destroying box](https://github.com/pradels/vagrant-libvirt/issues/70) + |
