docker-packer-maas

Build your MAAS images using docker.

Requisites

Docker >= 24.0.2 (this is the tested version, it might work also with previous versions).
KVM enabled

Pre-built image

I publish the docker image under my dockerhub account. You can find it here.

How to use the image

Clone packer-maas

git clone https://github.com/canonical/packer-maas.git

The image needs to be run as privileged and must be run on an host with KVM enabled. You can then build, for example, the centos8-stream image with the following command

docker run --privileged -v $(pwd)/packer-maas:/workspace -w /workspace/centos8-stream -e PACKER_LOG=1 -it r00ta/packer-maas:1.0

Note that the command above is mounting $(pwd)/packer-maas and then is setting /workspace/centos8-stream as working directory. If you wish to build another image, just change this last path accordingly. Once the build has completed, you will find the image in the directory $(pwd)/packer-maas/centos8-stream.

Build the image by yourself

You can build the image by yourself by cloning this repository

git clone https://github.com/r00ta/docker-packer-maas.git

and then by running

cd docker-packer-maas/
docker build -t r00ta/packer-maas:1.0 .
