hashicorp / atlas-packer-vagrant-tutorial Goto Github PK

Hey -

I went through the tutorial on a Windows box. The instruction to export the environment variable doesn't work in the default command window or powershell. Also, AFAIK, curl isn't that widely used on Windows.

I changed "export" to "set" to add the environment variable. Luckily, I also have curl. But, the build failed. I'm using this repo for the build. Could it be caused by the bash scripts which aren't supported in my shell?

Hi after following the tutorial and getting to this page

I had this error when running vagrant init DinisCruz/packer-vagrant-tutorial --provider virtualbox

Hey -

In case this isn't intentional - there are a set of aws credentials in this repository. As part of the tutorial, users are directed to clone this repo. Hopefully, the credentials that come along with it, are restricted and intentional.

Hi,

I am starting to use packer and atlas. I have managed to go through the tutorial and to build my vagrant box on atlas. Great stuff. Now, I would like to adapt the template to use the latest version of ubuntu. When I simply change the iso_url and the iso_checksum to point to the 15.10 files, the build process gets stuck on "Waiting for ssh to be available...".

I have tested the same modification with ubuntu 15.04 and in this case, it works fine.

I have seen in hashicorp/vagrant#6683 that network management has significantly changed in ubuntu 15.10, causing issues with Vagrant. Seems like these issues could be solved in Vagrant 1.8. Note that I have managed to build the box locally (with vagrant 1.8.1). So I am suspecting that the vagrant infrastructure on atlas does not incorporate these fixes yet.

Looking for packer templates in GitHub repos, I have seen that most contributors provide scripts to build the images locally. I have not found repos that provide examples where the images are built on atlas.

Do you know of such examples, ideally with support for ubuntu 15.10?
Do you know what is needed in order to build a ubuntu 15.10 vagrant box on atlas? Is that possible?

Many thanks!

Hi,

I am looking for an option to build ami of running ec2 instance. Also need to know whether packer support this feature?

Thanks

Since this is only an example for a tutorial, could we use MIT/BSD/Creative Commons or even http://www.wtfpl.net/ ? I don't think anyone wants to read a 15KB LICENSE file just to write their Packer template ;)

If I use the template and want to update the box, then I need to update the version field in the metadata:

"metadata": {
"provider": "virtualbox",
"version": "0.0.4"

Not very difficult, but I am sure that there is a way to automate the process, so that I don't have to manually edit the template file each time something changes in my config. What is the recommended way to approach this?

Hi,

sorry, this is not really a bug report or anything, just a question: if I want to be able to do packer push -create template.json such that the end result is a vagrant box (let's say that in the template.json it's called foo/bar) in the vagrant cloud (so that it can be instantiated with vagrant init foo/bar), which post-processors do I need to use? Just the vagrant one? Or vagrant and atlas?

Also, where should I really be asking this? You guys have been very nice in responding on twitter - and hopefully here also - but should I perhaps be on a mailing list or something? Don't wanna abuse your kindness. Thanks for the - potentially - great tools! Hope I get them to work :)
