Description

This script provides a vssh command that is faster than vagrant ssh.

Installation

Clone this repository to your home directory.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/tkishel/vagrant_ssh_cache.git

Add its script to your .bashrc:

echo "source ~/vagrant_ssh_cache/vssh.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

Reload your .bashrc:

. ~/.bashrc

Note: On OSX, all Terminal opens as a login shell, which sources .bash_profile instead of .bashrc. Either change .bashrc to .bash_profile in the above, or add the following to your .bash_profile.

# OSX
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
  source ~/.bashrc
fi

Usage

Execute the vssh command while in a vagrant directory to ssh to a running machine:

cd puppet-debugging-kit
vssh pe-201645-master

Reference

The script caches vagrant ssh-config data for vagrant machines.

The script will use that data to ssh to a vagrant machine.

If cached data does not exist, the script will cache the data, and then ssh to the machine.

Connections will not update the known hosts file or perform host key checking.
