# vagrant-cachier
|
|
|
|
A [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/) plugin that helps you reduce the amount of
|
|
coffee you drink while waiting for boxes to be provisioned by sharing a common
|
|
package cache among similiar VM instances. Kinda like [vagrant-apt_cache](https://github.com/avit/vagrant-apt_cache)
|
|
or [this magical snippet](http://gist.github.com/juanje/3797297) but targetting
|
|
multiple package managers and Linux distros.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have Vagrant 1.4+ and run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to set things up is just to enable [cache buckets auto detection](usage)
|
|
from within your `Vagrantfile`:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
|
config.vm.box = 'your-box'
|
|
if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
|
|
# Configure cached packages to be shared between instances of the same base box.
|
|
# More info on the "Usage" link above
|
|
config.cache.scope = :box
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONAL: If you are using VirtualBox, you might want to use that to enable
|
|
# NFS for shared folders. This is also very useful for vagrant-libvirt if you
|
|
# want bi-directional sync
|
|
config.cache.synced_folder_opts = {
|
|
type: :nfs,
|
|
# The nolock option can be useful for an NFSv3 client that wants to avoid the
|
|
# NLM sideband protocol. Without this option, apt-get might hang if it tries
|
|
# to lock files needed for /var/cache/* operations. All of this can be avoided
|
|
# by using NFSv4 everywhere. Please note that the tcp option is not the default.
|
|
mount_options: ['rw', 'vers=3', 'tcp', 'nolock']
|
|
}
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
