vagrant-dummy-communicator

vagrant-dummy-communicator is a Vagrant plugin which disables communication with the guest VM, and allows Vagrant to continue without waiting for SSH/WinRM to be ready.

Requires vagrant 1.3 or later

vagrant plugin install vagrant-dummy-communicator

This plugin does not require it's own configuration. You do however need to enable it in your Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  # Use an 'empty' box
  config.vm.box = "pace/empty"

  # Disable shared folders
  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true

  # Set dummy communicator
  config.vm.communicator = "dummy"
end

Now you can do vagrant up --no-provision to bring up your VM.

See: vagrant-empty-box for a more extensive example.
