Hello
You are giving fixed ports in the template:
"ssh_host": "localhost",
"ssh_port": "2022",
That is not needed.
That is usually used when packer won't find the ports, but in Virtualbox
and VMWare packer does it for you.
ie. have a look at this template:
https://github.com/cbednarski/packer-ubuntu/blob/master/1404-dev.json#L56-L97
Packer will scan the IP from Vbox/vmware for dhcp and forward a port to the
VM on port 22
then use that port automatically
