Hello,
I am trying to get Packer to build a custom Windows image on GCE.
This is the build section for `googlecompute` in my Packer file:
{
"type": "googlecompute",
"account_file": "{{user `gce_account_file`}}",
"project_id": "{{user `gce_project_id`}}",
"source_image": "{{user `gce_source_image`}}",
"zone": "{{user `gce_zone`}}",
"disk_type": "pd-ssd",
"disk_size": "80",
"machine_type": "n1-highcpu-8",
"image_name": "workstation-{{user
`workstation-number`}}-{{timestamp}}",
"communicator": "winrm",
"winrm_username": "packer",
"winrm_use_ssl": "true",
"winrm_insecure": "true",
"winrm_port": 5986,
"winrm_timeout": "5m"
}
The source image is set as `windows-server-2012-r2-dc-v20170117`.
When I attempt to build this machine I get a timeout error for WinRM:
==> googlecompute: Checking image does not exist...
==> googlecompute: Creating temporary SSH key for instance...
==> googlecompute: Using image: windows-server-2012-r2-dc-v20170117
==> googlecompute: Creating instance...
googlecompute: Loading zone: europe-west1-b
googlecompute: Loading machine type: n1-highcpu-8
googlecompute: Loading network: default
googlecompute: Requesting instance creation...
googlecompute: Waiting for creation operation to complete...
googlecompute: Instance has been created!
==> googlecompute: Creating windows user for instance...
googlecompute: Waiting for windows password to complete...
googlecompute: Created password.
==> googlecompute: Waiting for the instance to become running...
googlecompute: IP: 146.148.18.82
==> googlecompute: Waiting for WinRM to become available...
==> googlecompute: Timeout waiting for WinRM.
==> googlecompute: Deleting instance...
googlecompute: Instance has been deleted!
==> googlecompute: Deleting disk...
googlecompute: Disk has been deleted!
Build 'googlecompute' errored: Timeout waiting for WinRM.
Reading around this I have seen that the Windows user only seems to get
created from the Console or the command line using `gcloud`. If this is
the case is it possible to get Packer to create and configure a Windows
machine in GCE? If it is possible to get Packer to build a Windows machine
in GCE what am I missing?
Thanks, Russell
