Packer MAAS
Packer templates, associated scripts, and configuration for creating deployable OS images for MAAS.
See README.md in each directory for documentation on how to customize, build, and upload images.
Output
All templates are configured to output to serial. Packer does not officially support serial output(GH:9927). To see output run with PACKER_LOG=1.
If you wish to use a GUI modify each template as follows:
- Remove any boot_command line that contains "console" or "com1_Port"
- Remove ""-serial", "stdio"" from qemuargs. qemuargs may be removed as well if empty.
If you wish to use QEMU's UI also remove "headless": true
If you keep "headless": true you can connect using VNC. Packer will output the IP and port to connect to when run.
Makefiles
Each directory contains a Makefile to help build the image with the correct arguments. The default make target will remove the output-qemu directory and previously generated image before building the new image.
The path to the Packer binary can be overridden with the PACKER variable:
$ make PACKER=/home/user/go/bin/packer
Images which require a user specified ISO can be set with the ISO variable:
$ make ISO=/path/to/iso
