Hi,
I am newbie in Packer, would like to use Packer with amazon-chroot builder
to customize CoreOS-stable-1122.2.0-hvm (officia public AMI ID in EU
Ireland region: ami-e3d6ab90)
Packer config is really simple:
$ cat coreos-1122.2.0-hvm-aws-chroot.json
{
"variables": {
"aws_access_key": "",
"aws_secret_key": ""
},
"builders": [{
"name": "build-aws-hmv",
"type": "amazon-chroot",
"access_key": "{{user `aws_access_key`}}",
"secret_key": "{{user `aws_secret_key`}}",
"ami_virtualization_type": "hvm",
"region": "eu-west-1",
"source_ami": "ami-0092eb73",
"ami_name": "packer-example {{timestamp}} coreos",
"tags": {
"component": "allapps",
"version": "404"
}
}],
"provisioners": [{
"type": "shell",
"inline": [
"docker pull centos:7"
]
}]
}
$ ./packer validate coreos-1122.2.0-hvm-aws-chroot.json
Template validated successfully.
I am getting this error:
$ ./packer build coreos-1122.2.0-hvm-aws-chroot.json
build-aws-hmv output will be in this color.
==> build-aws-hmv: Prevalidating AMI Name...
==> build-aws-hmv: Gathering information about this EC2 instance...
==> build-aws-hmv: Error retrieving the ID of the instance Packer is
running on.
==> build-aws-hmv: Please verify Packer is running on a proper AWS EC2
instance.
Build 'build-aws-hmv' errored: Error retrieving the ID of the instance
Packer is running on.
Please verify Packer is running on a proper AWS EC2 instance.
==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> build-aws-hmv: Error retrieving the ID of the instance Packer is
running on.
Please verify Packer is running on a proper AWS EC2 instance.
==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.
AMI "ami-0092eb73" that I am using in my config above was created the
following way:
1. Used original public CoreOS image (ami-e3d6ab90) to run instance.
2. Stopped the instance and took an AMI
3. Run the instance back and left it in running state
What's wrong with my config?
Do I understand right that in order to be able to use amazon-chroot builder
with Packer I have to leave my instance running?
p.s. The following example.json works fine for me (so it's all fine with
AWS IAM permissions):
$ cat example.json
{
"variables": {
"aws_access_key": "",
"aws_secret_key": ""
},
"builders": [{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"access_key": "{{user `aws_access_key`}}",
"secret_key": "{{user `aws_secret_key`}}",
"region": "eu-west-1",
"source_ami": "ami-f95ef58a",
"instance_type": "t2.micro",
"ssh_username": "ubuntu",
"ami_name": "packer-example {{timestamp}}"
}]
}
