azimuth-images

This repository contains Packer template definitions for building images for use with Azimuth.

Currently, templates are provided for building Ubuntu and Windows images that provide web console functionality for Azimuth.

The templates work by provisioning machines in an OpenStack project and configuring them using Ansible before converting to an image. The result is a private image in the OpenStack project.

Building an image

Before building an image, you must configure OpenStack authentication, using either an RC file or clouds.yaml, e.g.:

export OS_CLOUD=openstack

Ansible must be installed on the machine that executes Packer, and the required collections must be installed:

ansible-galaxy install -f -r ./requirements.yml

The Packer templates are in the packer directory of this repository. To build an image, just run the following packer command:

packer build --on-error=ask -var-file=./inputs.pkvars.hcl packer/{linux,windows}-webconsole.pkr.hcl

Check the Packer template for the available/required inputs.
