Hello there, thank you for this plugin. It works perfectly.

I have a problem with OrangePI though,
The official repository of OS images for OrangePI 3 seems to be a public Google Drive folder.

This is a problem because I can't find a url to put in "file_urls" that works.
I've tried to follow posts like this and managed to download the file using the terminal but no luck with doing it by the"file_urls" field.

  • Orange PI 3 LTS page
  • Public google drive Folder
  • Information about the file:
    • Name: Orangepi3-lts_3.0.0_debian_bullseye_server_linux5.16.17.7z
    • FolderID: 1ctuKgHNN9r517tiAv9GGGaR7UYQgZiXP
    • FileID: 1kPZg2Yc5W75itAgWfztHRuqM8IHAkRk2

As expected everything works if I download the image first and point the local path in "file_urls".

Yep, downloading before running packer and then referencing as local file is the way to go. Adding this to the README:

Downloads of the file_urls are done with the help of github.com/hashicorp/go-getter, which supports various protocols: local files, http(s) and various others, see https://github.com/hashicorp/go-getter#supported-protocols-and-detectors). Downloading via other protocols can be done by using other tools (curl, wget, rclone, ...) before running packer and referencing the downloaded files as local file in file_urls.
