For a more manual one you could: use shell-local to create a VM from template use null provider to just connect and run scripts in packer.
This will create a chicken egg situation where you don't know the IP of the box. IF you use a wrapper you could se Terraform or some script to create a vm packer null provider to run scripts. here, since packer is just running scripts, you could just use directly the tool used in the previous step to run scripts too Hope this helps On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 11:00 PM, 'Peter Teichner' via Packer < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Is it possible at all to start from an ovf template and generate a new one > after running some scripts inside it? > > Obviously I've seen the iso and the vmx options as starting point but I > use vsphere. > > Thanks, > Pete > > -- > This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - > https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
