vagrant-cachier not caching

[amitoj]

Hi,

I installed vagrant-cachier and configured my Vagrantfile as,

...
...
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
config.vm.box = "precise64"

if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
config.cache.scope = :box
end

config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"

...
...

I'm downloading and configuring a Zookeeper server and a Kafka server.
Both VMs need to download Java and Kafka binaries.

I expected vagrant to pick cached binaries the second time but it is downloading them all over again.

Any ideas?

Apparently your VM is not installing Java using debs as it is fetching it from http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u20-b26/jdk-8u20-linux-x64.tar.gz?AuthParam=1409755850_5d0be48911525e66191510ed48130abf

Would you be able to share the scripts / recipes you are using to configure your VM?

[opticyclic]

I have noticed this too.
Fortunately I had originally tested out vagrant cachier in January so I knew it worked with my project at some point.

Vagrant File:

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  # Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of.
  config.vm.box = "precise64"
  config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
  config.vm.hostname = "testvm"

  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
    config.cache.auto_detect = true
  end  

  config.vbguest.auto_update = false

  config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
    puppet.module_path = "modules"
    puppet.manifests_path = "manifests"
    puppet.manifest_file  = "test_vm.pp"
  end
end

Puppet File

class system-update()
{
  exec { 'apt-update':
    command => '/usr/bin/apt-get -y update',
    timeout => 3600;
  }

  package {
    ['dos2unix', 'unzip', 'vim']:
    ensure => installed,
  }

}

It creates the caches with version 0.5.1 but not with 1.0.0.

[fgrehm]

@opticyclic I believe your problem is a different one as you haven't set the cache scope, that was a backwards incompatible change introduced on 0.6.0 with GH-17 ;-)

[amitoj]

Hi @fgrehm

My Vagrantfile is,

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-cachier")
      config.cache.scope = :box
  end

  config.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise64"

  config.vm.define "test" do |test|
    test.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.86.5"
    test.vm.hostname = "test"
    test.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
      vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "2048"]
    end
    test.vm.provision "shell", path: "test.sh"
  end

  config.vm.define "zest" do |zest|
    zest.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.86.6"
    zest.vm.hostname = "zest"
    zest.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
      vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "2048"]
    end
    zest.vm.provision "shell", path: "test.sh"
  end

end

and, test.sh

#!/bin/sh
apt-get -y update
apt-get install -y software-properties-common python-software-properties
add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java
apt-get -y update
/bin/echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections
apt-get -y install oracle-java8-installer oracle-java8-set-default

It would be nice to be able to cache the Oracle's JDK as it's the most common download for all my vagrant environments.

Thanks,

Amitoj

As you mentioned precise64 box, I am using precise32 box and I have the feeling that it is not being able to properly cache its debs using vagrant cachier since its postinstall.sh script calls "apt-get -y clean" and I have the feeling it erases apt cache folder thus reflecting in NFS share used to cache content for subsequent calls.

[fgrehm]

@rafaelri yup, apt-get clean will clean the cache.

@amitoj its been a while since you opened this issue, is it still a problem for you?

[nicbet]

Any updates on this? I ran into the same problem - the .deb files are properly cached but as part of the install the oracle-java-8 deb will download a tar.gz from download.oracle.com, which does not appear to get cached, or gets deleted in some clean-up step.

[fgrehm]

Not that I know, this plugin is currently looking for maintainers: #143

[fgrehm]

Hey, sorry for the silence here but this project is looking for maintainers 😅

As per #193, I've added the ignored label and will close this issue. Thanks for the interest in the project and LMK if you want to step up and take ownership of this project on that other issue 👋
