Description
Describe the bug
Creating a new NixOS machine defaults version to 25.05 which fails to create machine, error 'image not found' shown.
orb create nixos
[-32098] create 'nixos': make rootfs: image not found: {nixos 25.05 arm64 default}
NixOS 25.05 was deprecated on 30 November 2025 in favour of 25.11 - https://nixos.org/blog/announcements/2025/nixos-2511/
I'm running OrbStack version 2.0.5 (19905)
To Reproduce
- Go to 'Machines'
- Click on 'New Machine'
- Set 'Distribution' to 'NixOS', 'Version' will be automatically set to '25.05'
- Click 'Create'
alternatively, just run the command orb create nixos
Expected behavior
OrbStack should install the latest version 25.11 by default and successfully download the image
