# Docker Boxes
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Docker provider doesn't require a Vagrant box. The `config.vm.box`
|
||
|
setting is completely optional.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A box can still be used and specified, however, to provide defaults.
|
||
|
Because the `Vagrantfile` within a box is loaded as part of the
|
||
|
configuration loading sequence, it can be used to configure the
|
||
|
foundation of a development environment.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In general, however, you won't need a box with the Docker provider.
