Hello If I understand correctly, you want to run packer inside the EC2 that have jenkins to build docker inside the EC2 with docker, right?
Can you setup DOCKER_HOST variable before running packer and testing you can list/build using docker commands ? If this is setup, share your template.json output of docker version on the remote EC2 machine and packer build debug logs Thanks Alvaro On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 4:35 AM, Ramanathan Muthaiah <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > In a AWS cloud environment (personal account), I have a EC2 instance > acting as Docker Host and another EC2 instance that runs Jenkins.
