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

The easiest way to set things up is just to enable cache buckets auto detection from within your Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = 'your-box'
  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
    config.cache.auto_detect = true
    # If you are using VirtualBox, you might want to enable NFS for shared folders
    # config.cache.enable_nfs  = true
  end
end

For more information please read the documentation available at http://fgrehm.viewdocs.io/vagrant-cachier.
