# Docker Boxes
The Docker provider does not 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 will not need a box with the Docker provider.
