I have an installation `.iso` for a custom system and I want to use Packer to install it over to a VM. From what I read this is done by writing a "builder" component, but at that point I'm stuck. I can't find any complete examples of creating a builder that manually clicks all the installation buttons and does not use JSON (which is obsolete in Packer).
Actually: how does Packer even determine when the menu it expects appeared so it's ready to "click"? Are there any description on that one? This question is the reason I can't transform JSON examples to HCL2. I see people write a bunch of keypresses inside JSON config, but how does Packer not flush everything in the first second as the VM starts booting? Any links, to docs or blog posts that would explain that are really appreciated. I don't care what hypervisor it's for: whether it's for VirtualBox or QEMU or VMWare or Parallels or ESXi or Proxmox… Doesn't matter. -- This mailing list is governed under the HashiCorp Community Guidelines - https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines.html.
