Docker container for building packer images with QEMU and Ansible.
The repository also contain a docker-packer script which is a wrapper
around the packer which segregates the packer artifacts directory into a
temporary directory. This makes it possible to build the same OS in parallel.
E.g when running in a CD/CI pipeline.
Usage:
docker-packer [<options>] | command
Options:
-h | --help This message
-b | --build-dir <path> Mount the build root from given path.
-i | --images-dir <path> Mount the images directory from given path.
-I | --iso-dir <path> Mount the iso directory from given path.
-p | --provisioners-dir <path> Mount the provisioniers from given path.
-V | --version Display version and exit.
Descriptions:
Wrapper script for use with docker.io/uroesch/packer container.
Mounts the current working directory 'iso', 'images', 'artifacts'
into the docker container and runs the provided command as
pass through inside the container.Change into your packer project directory and run the script
docker-packer followed by the packer command. E.g.
docker-packer packer build -parallel-builds=1 ubuntu.pkr.hclWhen the ISO files and the images are located on a separate disk or mount point directory the docker packer can be given options to mount from somewhere else.
docker-packer \
--iso-dir /external-disk/iso-files --images-dir /nfs-share/images -- \
packer build -parallel-builds=1 ubuntu.pkr.hcl|
