vagrant-cachier
A Vagrant 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 or this magical snippet 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
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 http://fgrehm.viewdocs.io/vagrant-cachier/usage
config.cache.scope = :box
# 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']
}
# For more information please check http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/synced-folders/basic_usage.html
end
end
