This repo is an example of packer+terraform combo to create a VM from plain iso.
Supported os for now are:
- centos 8
- opensuse leap 15.2
This is based on Libvirt/KVM for virtualization, so it depends on the terraform provider for libvirt:
Prerequisites:
- packer
- terraform
- terraform-provider-libvirt
- make
to start:
mkdir ~/VirtualMachines
to create the folder where we put our examples.
To start creating the first VM:
make iso distro=centos8
or
make iso distro=opensuse15.2
will use packer to create the base image for the VM using centos8-kickstart.cfg as ks file or autoyast.xml for opensuse.
This will search for an install iso in the current directory, this example uses CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso for centos and
openSUSE-Leap-15.2-DVD-x86_64.iso for opensuse,
change the value/path as needed for the test
make init distro=centos8
make apply distro=distro=centos8
or
make init distro=opensuse15.2
make apply distro=opensuse15.2
will proceede to use terraform to create the machine based on the packer output.
make destroy distro=centos8
or
make destroy distro=opensuse15.2
to remove all
