skip certificate validation on "vagrant up"

Question

I'd like to skip the curl certificate validation on vagrant up since our proxy MITMs https, so curls' usual SSL cert error pops up.

I tried vagrant up --insecure puppetlabs/debian-7.8-32-nocm but that didn't change anything. Next I tried config.vm.box_download_insecure and config.vm.box_download_insecure = "puppetlabs/debian-7.8-32-nocm" in the Vagrantfile, but alas - no luck.

• What's the URL for config.vm.box_download_insecure if I use boxes from atlas?
• Is there another possibility to make curl skip cert checks?

Answer 1

It is expecting a boolean (true/false).

config.vm.box_download_insecure = true

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/vagrantfile/machine_settings.html

config.vm.box_download_insecure - If true, then SSL certificates from the server will not be verified. By default, if the URL is an HTTPS URL, then SSL certs will be verified.
