Hi all,
I am using Packer with Ansible. What is the best way to pass in the VM name
(generated in Packer) to Ansible? I need it for naming directories in a
task.
See my packer JSON:
{
"builders": [
{
"boot_command": [
"<tab> text ks=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort
}}/ks.cfg<enter><wait>"
],
"boot_wait": "10s",
"disk_size": 50000,
"guest_additions_path": "VBoxGuestAdditions_{{.Version}}.iso",

"iso_urls": [
"CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-2003.iso",
"http://mirrors.mit.edu/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-2003.iso";
],

"output_directory": "{{user `output_dir`}}/infoblox-{{isotime

[

]
],

"galaxy_file": "../shared/requirements.yml",
"playbook_file": "../shared/main.yml",
"role_paths": [
"../shared/roles/common"
],
"type": "ansible-local"
},
{
"execute_command": "echo 'vagrant' | {{.Vars}} sudo -S -E bash
'{{.Path}}'",
"script": "scripts/cleanup.sh",
"type": "shell"
}
],
"variables": {
"mount_dir": "",
"output_dir": ""
}
}
Thanks,
Eoghan
