Packer Tutorial

This repository is a basic project demonstrating the Packer tool (https://www.packer.io/).

Prerequisites

Make sure the following tools are installed and/or available:

  • Packer
  • VirtualBox
  • Vagrant (version 1.8.5+ - used for testing the Vagrant box created)

Notes

In Vagrant versions prior to 1.8.5, attempting to boot an Ubuntu 16.04 image results in an error related to identifying the network interface of the VM incorrectly as eth1.

Run

To run the build for a VirtualBox VM (Ubuntu 16.04 at the time of this writing):

packer build ubuntu16_64.json
