Hi, thanks for this. It has helped me a lot.

However, I have a question, after initializing and provisioning the box, how can I start the server? As of now, I'm manually SSH'ing into the box, cd'ing to /vagrant and issuing the command 'ember server'. Any other way to achieve this in a less manual way?

You should be able to add ember server to the end of the $userScript

if you add ember s to the end then vagrant provision will not close. You must add the next:

nohup ember s > /dev/null 2>&1 &
