Could you provide some more context here? Give us a example packer template (.json) and what do you mean with a container ? a docker container, if so can you specify the command you started it with.
It might just be that env var USER is not set. If I run: docker run -it ubuntu:trusty bash USER is not set. You could just define it. // Rickard On 27 February 2017 at 21:28, Katie Paugh <[email protected]> wrote: > Trying to run packer inside of a Container.
