Debian VM OVA to bootstrap a VMware Tanzu environment.
This appliance is based on https://github.com/tsugliani/packer-vsphere-debian-appliances
VM was build with steps found on -> https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Kubernetes-Grid/1.6/vmware-tanzu-kubernetes-grid-16/GUID-install-cli.html
To succesfully build this OVA you need the following:
1 - You need to connect directly to one ESXi host, no vCenter.
2 - The ESXi needs the option GuestIPHack set to 1
esxcli system settings advanced set -o /Net/GuestIPHack -i 13 - The machine were packer will run, needs OVFtool.
First you need to update values on bootstrap-builder.json file and then run the following command:
./build-bootstrap.shat the end you will have a VM OVA with all the Tanzu CLI and other tools.
After importing de OVA into an ESXi or vCenter, you need to login and generate an SSH key pair.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"Add the private key to the SSH agent running on your machine, and enter the password you created in the previous step.
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsaIf this command fails, execute "eval $(ssh-agent)" and then rerun the command.
This is de list of available options at import time.
