Re: [packer] Builder virtualbox-iso - custom local script just before export (VM stopped) ?

No there is no such option to run a command before export but after the vm stopped. But isn't Vagrant the solution to this problem. You can solve all these things in a Vagrantfile. On Tue, Sep 25, 2018, 14:39 Alix Lourme wrote: > Hello, > > I'm using Packer to create a Linux (Ubuntu) VirtualBox

Re: [packer] How to publish some parameters from a provisioned shell into the manifest

You can't. The only way I can think about it so wrap packer in a script, use the file provisioner to download some information you want in the manifest, and use jq to write the data into the manifest json after packer finishes. On Thu, Sep 27, 2018, 00:26 Ibrahim Buamod wrote: > Let's say I inst

Hyper-V have it's own dhcp server and the vm will get an IP automatically assigned. But you need to install the hyper v tools in the vm in Kickstart/presees. On Thu, Sep 27, 2018, 14:43 Muthu R D wrote: > Hi, > > > I am trying to build a hyper-v VM through the JSON > hyperv-windows-2012R2-server

You can modify 1) execute_command to pass arguments, but a better way is to pass information via environemnt_vars 2) because then you can run all you scripts in the same powershell provisioner. 1) https://packer.io/docs/provisioners/powershell.html#execute_command 2) https://packer.io/docs/provisi

Re: [packer] AMI copy to diff regions takes a lot of time, is this expected? is there a efficient/faster way?

Packer copies AMI in parallel 1). This is actually just issuing one API call per region and then waiting for AWS to report that the AMI is available in all regions requested. There is nothing Packer can do to influence the speed. I expect that this AMI is based on fairly large snapshots? Some thin

Re: [packer] Automatic windows server provisioning with Ansible + Virtual box

The problem here is VirtualBox networking. The host can't directly reach the guest so packer sets up a NAT port forwarding on a random port restricted by ssh_host_port_min and max 1) (despite the naming this is also used for WinRM). You need to set this port in your inventory file instead of 55985.

Re: [packer] How can you modularize the json template for a Packer project?

Since there might be considerable difference when using different distributions another alternative is to put each builder+dist in its own file and provisioners in another and then use some tool (python, jq, sed, etc) to create the final template from these files. // Rickard On Fri, Oct 19, 2018
