BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY:
- Plugin activation is now triggered by the `cache.scope` config and that config
is now required. Previous versions of the plugin had it set to `:box` but
there is no consensus whether `:box` and `:machine` is better. This is to
highlight that you need to think about the caching strategy you are going
to use. For more information and to discuss this move please check [GH-17](https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-cachier/issues/17).
- Because `cache.scope` is now a requirement and in order to reduce the amount of
configuration required by the plugin, we enabled automatic bucket detection by
default. To revert to the old behavior you can disable it globally from your
`~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile`.
- Support for Vagrant < 1.4 is gone, please use a previous plugin version if
you are running Vagrant 1.2 / 1.3
- Automatic handling of multiple machine scoped cache dirs from versions

## Quick start
The easiest way to set things up is just to enable [cache buckets auto detection](http://fgrehm.viewdocs.io/vagrant-cachier/usage)
from within your `Vagrantfile`:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = 'your-box'

config.cache.auto_detect = true

# Usage
## Auto detect supported cache buckets
## Being nice to others
This is the easiest way to get started with plugin. By adding the code below to
your `Vagrantfile` you can enable automatic detection of supported cache _buckets_.
It is a good practice to wrap plugin specific configuration with `has_plugin?` checks
so the user's Vagrantfiles do not break if vagrant-cachier is uninstalled or
the Vagrantfile is shared with people that don't have the plugin installed.
so the user's Vagrantfiles do not break if `vagrant-cachier` is uninstalled or
the Vagrantfile is shared with people that don't have the plugin installed:
```ruby
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# ...
if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
config.cache.auto_detect = true
# ... vagrant-cachier configs ...
end
end
```
This will make `vagrant-cachier` do its best to find out what is supported on the
guest machine and will set buckets accordingly.
## Cache scope
This is the only required configuration for the plugin to work and should be present
on your project's specific `Vagrantfile` or on your `~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile` in
order to enable it.
### `:box` scope
By setting `cache.scope` to `:box`, downloaded packages will get stored on a folder
scoped to base boxes under your `~/.vagrant.d/cache`. The idea is to leverage the
cache by allowing downloaded packages to be reused across projects. So, if your
`Vagrantfile` has something like:
```ruby
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = 'some-box'
if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
config.cache.scope = :box
end
end
```
The cached files will be stored under `$HOME/.vagrant.d/cache/some-box`.
### `:machine` scope
If you are on a [multi VM environment](http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/multi-machine/index.html),
there is a huge chance that you'll end up having issues by sharing the same bucket
across different machines. For example, if you `apt-get install` from two machines
at "almost the same time" you are probably going to hit a _"SystemError: Failed to
lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock"_. To work around that, you can set the scope
to be based on machines:
```ruby
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = 'some-box'
if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
config.cache.scope = :machine
end
end
```
This will tell vagrant-cachier to download packages to `.vagrant/machines/<machine-name>/cache`
on your current project directory.
