I've uploaded my Vagrant file and update script to a Gist:
https://gist.github.com/LawnGnome/d8638f036d55c3cd50a3. They're not
100% ready to go as is — the update.sh script should be more
integrated (and the rsync commands should probably run in a cron job
in the VM) and does some things that only matter if you're also
linking docs builds into manual/en as I am, but if someone wanted to
polish them up they might be a useful starting point.
