This image aims to provide a usable packer image with ansible slipstreamed inside for easy utilization of Ansible Local/Remote builders!
A few notes:
- I've based off the most official Packer image,
hashicorp/packer - This utilizes Alpine Linux which means its more nimble ;)
- The entrypoint has been reset to the Docker default
/bin/sh/ -cso this image is more standardized for things likegitlab-runneror other application. - I'll maintain tags which specify both packer+ansible versions, although I will only update this as I need to for myself and my uses. Pull Requests are very welcome and will be responded to as quickly as possible!
Given you bind mount a directory ami_build which has your packer.json
and related ansible scripts, something like this should work.
docker run -v /home/user/ami_build:/build -ti -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY=blah
-e AWS_SECRET_KEY=blah inanimate/packer-ansible "packer build packer.json"
