Hi. I am trying to automate tests for our software. 
The best i found is to start from iso and get my pipeline on gitlab-ci to 
vmware-template. 

Scheme works like a charm for centos7, oel7. 

Then i starts to implement one with debian 8. 
My pipeline looks like that. Gitlab-ci -> custom docker image file with 
ovftool and needed plugins -> several workers on different machines -> 
vmware-iso -> vmware template. 

I've been using floppy files to set kickstart file. 
But for debian 8 there is no support for floppies. 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783982
Also because of docker and the way how gitlab launches it i can't use http 
way. (job worker starts on some machine without any open ports)
Also i've tried to set https link for preseed file to my raw file in 
giltab. But there are no support for https in busybox.

According to https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/apbs02.html.en 
there is another options. 
One is to build custom vdmk file and place it to hd-media. Another is mount 
is as second cdrom. But there is no support from packer side. 

Any ideas how to make it work ?
