Vagrant is not picking up laravel/homestead box

Question

I've downloaded the homestead box manually because of much slow downloading via terminal. But after adding the box, vagrant is not finding it and attempting to download again.

Answer 1

@FrédéricHenri Thanks. I found that the box was added directly instead of from a box catalog so vagrant try to check the updates and failed. So i simply just disable the check update.

config.vm.box_check_update = false

OR

For updates. I added metadata_url file in laravel-VAGRANTSLASH-homestead containing the url pointing to the box

https://vagrantcloud.com/laravel/homestead

Answer 2

This happens when we add box from file, Vagrant marks as it is version 0 by default.

Solution I found When I got same error I renamed the folder 0 to the corresponding version in my case it was 0.4.2 inside this path ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/laravel-VAGRANTSLASH-homestead . Then if you vagrant up from homestead project you may get error. So you can add catalog file metadata_url file. with url https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead in laravel-VAGRANTSLASH-homestead directory.
