[Ndn-interest] Running NFD on a (VirtualBox) VM using Vagrant (Docker setup FAILS right now)

Hi

I need to work more on the Docker-based installation method, it 
currently fails with the following error:

     felix-mba:docker-images fr$ docker run --rm -ti nfd
     root at cb92f60fb4c0:/# nfd-start
     root at cb92f60fb4c0:/# nfd-status
     ERROR: error while connecting to the forwarder (No such file or 
directory)

In the meantime, I've got NFD running on Ubuntu 14.04 inside a VM using 
Vagrant:

https://github.com/named-data-education/vagrant

Whereas Docker is a frontend to Linux Containers, Vagrant is a frontend 
to VMs such as VirtualBox or VMWare. You can get it at 
http://www.vagrantup.com/.

Quick start once you have Vagrant (and Git) installed: (This should work 
identically on OS X, Linux, Windows)

     git clone https://github.com/named-data-education/vagrant.git
     cd vagrant
     vagrant up
     vagrant ssh
     # and inside the VM:
     sudo bash
     nfd-status

If you need help, `vagrant -h` is your friend.

- Felix
