Packer templates for OpenSLX
Packer-based generation of reference systems using distro's ISOs.
Dependencies
Packer => 0.12.2
Download: https://www.packer.io/downloads.html
Usage
The file 'base.json' contains default variables (VM, SSH) common to all templates,
and should always be included using packer's '-var-file' option. The root password
is expected to be specified as the ROOTPW environment variable!
Basic usage:
ROOTPW=<password> packer build -var-file=base.json <template>


For the rest of the examples, ROOTPW is assumed to be set in the environment.
Usage: Creating base images
Example
Build Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS template using qemu builder
packer build -var-file=base.json -only=qemu ubuntu-16.04-amd64.json


Same with debug output:
PACKER_LOG=1 PACKER_LOG_FILE=/var/log/packer.log \
    packer build -debug -only=qemu -var-file=base.json ubuntu-16.04-amd64.json


A successful build process would generate the disk image as '/
