By setting up apt-cacher-ng 1 in you local development environment, you can save
on precious bandwidth when building Chef recipes (or any server side stuff) on
your local machine. Below are some of the steps to get this up and running.
Install and configure apt-cacher-ng
In a Mac you can get it via homebrew
brew install apt-cacher-ng
When configuring apt-cacher-ng you need to set the following
- Setup the freebsd repository
- Set Pigeonhole files for *.txz files for packages and meta.txz,
packagesite.txz, digests.txz for metadata files.
TLDR: Place these changes to your vanilla apt-cacher-ng configuration.

/usr/local/etc/apt-cacher-ng$ vagrant plugin list
Finally run apt-cacher-ng like as follows on your mac
launchctl load /usr/local/opt/apt-cacher-ng/homebrew.mxcl.apt-cacher-ng.plist
Update your base vagrant box
I am using Chef's FreeBSD 10.1 basebox 2 from its bento repository 3 here. I modify
the Vagrantfile in the basebox as follows.
Vagrant.configure '2' do |config|
config.vm.provision 'shell', inline: <<-eos
# !/bin/sh
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
cat > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/freebsd.conf <<EOF
FreeBSD { url: "pkg+http://<ip-of-mac-vagrant-host>:3142/pkg.FreeBSD.org/\\${ABI}/latest" }
EOF
eos
end
The basebox' Vagrantfile is found in
~/.vagrant.d/boxes/chef-VAGRANTSLASH-freebsd10.1/0/vmware_desktop/Vagrantfile in my case.
