Packer templates

Packer templates are used to:

automagically create OS images with upgraded packages
provision user defined changes to created image
remove user defined elements from image
build single version of OS image for multiple hypervisors

Features

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial)
Debian 8 (jessie)

Providers

qemu
docker
virtualbox
vagrant/libvirt

Usage

Install Packer

PACKER_URL="https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/packer/packer_0.8.2_linux_amd64.zip"
PACKER_ZIP=$(basename ${PACKER_URL})
PACKER_ZIP_MD5="bc37abe5e183a11bd8c1b2efc385059b"

mkdir -p ~/bin/packer
cd ~/bin/packer
export PATH="${PATH}:~/bin/packer"

wget -O ${PACKER_ZIP} ${PACKER_URL}
echo "${PACKER_ZIP_MD5}  ${PACKER_ZIP}" >> md5sum
md5sum -c --status md5sum

unzip ${PACKER_ZIP}

Image build

Enter build directory by selecting OS type and version. You should see file template.json.

Start building some images:

packer build -only=virtualbox-iso template.json

Development

Directory http/ contains OS installer config files (preseed/kickstart/..)

Directory scripts/ contains set of scripts for provision after image build.

Notes

some builders cannot work at the same time (by design)
