Hi,
I'm having following problem. I want to create a Windows image in
OpenStack, which has already installed Cygwin, which is configured to
accept SSH connection. If I try to manually create the machine in
OpenStack, I can successfully connect to it via SSH (ssh Admin@<IP
address>). The Windows user is "Admin".
Now I want to automate it with Packer, hence I create a very simple JSON:
{
"builders": [
{
"type": "openstack",
"identity_endpoint": <url>,
"source_image": "1284b45f-d164-43ab-9b4a-6024497b1b3f",
"ssh_username": "Admin",
"image_name": "Windows-packer-test"
"flavor": "m4.xlarge",
"floating_ip_pool": "10.8.172.0/22",
"insecure": "true"
}
],
"provisioners": [
{
"type": "ansible",
"playbook_file": "../ansible/playbooks/images/windows-image.yaml",
"groups": ["packer"]
} ]
}
The Ansible playbook does simple ECHO into file.
However, the SSH handshake always fails during the "openstack: Waiting for
SSH to become available...", even though that when I run with -debug, after
creation of the image and associating floating IP, I can manually connect
to the machine via SSH, either with ssh Admin@<IP adress> or ssh -i
os_openstack.pem Admin@<IP address>. The relevant part of output with
PACKER_LOG=1 is here: http://pastebin.com/hRCtQe81
I don't see, why Packer would make any difference between my SSH connection
and his, but I have to be missing something obvious, probably something
with SSH keys, but I understand that Packer generated temporary keys, hence
I do not have to specify any.
The above Packer JSON works fine if I use it to create RHEL image (only
with difference that the ssh_username is "root"). I also tried to use WinRM
communicator, i.e. specified communicator to WinRM, correct username,
corrent winrm port and it succeeds. The trouble is that connecting via
WinRM ends up "jumping" onto newly created machine into PowerShell, which
is something I don't want to do (the image should be then used for testing
of a project and the testing on Windows machines is done via Cygwin, hence
I need to set up the Cygwin environment).
Do you have any idea what I'm missing?
Thanks,
Jiri
