Local caching proxy

Polipo

Use polipo for caching proxy. On OS X install with

brew install polipo

From SO:

Create a config file at ~/.polipo/config

# logLevel = 0xFF
dnsNameServer=8.8.8.8
diskCacheRoot = "~/.polipo/cache/"

As root create the file /Library/LaunchDaemons/fr.jussieu.pps.polipo.plist, replace $USER with your username:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

    <string>/Users/$USER/.polipo/polipo.log</string>

</plist>

sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/fr.jussieu.pps.polipo.plist
sudo chmod 755 /Library/LaunchDaemons/fr.jussieu.pps.polipo.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/fr.jussieu.pps.polipo.plist

Vagrant

vagrant plugin install vagrant-proxyconf
add to ~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-proxyconf")
    config.proxy.http     = "http://10.0.2.2:8123/"
    config.proxy.https    = "http://10.0.2.2:8123/"
    config.proxy.no_proxy = "localhost,127.0.0.1"
  end
end

Where 10.0.2.2 is the IP of your host as seen from the vagrant machines (in this case the NAT interface). Optionally could add all your private network IPs from your Vagrant subnet to no_proxy to skip the proxy for inter-VM communications.

Testing

mvn clean install -Plive

Cleaning up

Sometimes users (or tests) do not stop correctly the machines so they need to be destroyed manually periodically. All machines live in ~/.jclouds/vagrant. Create cleanup.sh in the folder and execute it to destroy machines created by the provider:

for node in `find ~/.jclouds/vagrant -name Vagrantfile | xargs -n1 dirname`; do
  pushd $node > /dev/null
  echo Destroying $node
  vagrant destroy --force
  popd> /dev/null
  rm -rf $machine
done

Same as a one-liner

for f in `find ~/.jclouds/vagrant/tests -name Vagrantfile | xargs -n1 dirname`; do pushd $f; vagrant destroy --force; popd; rm -rf $f; done

Limitations

Machines are created sequentially, no support for parallel execution from virtualbox provider
