Re: [packer] AWS new VM (Private IP)

I would handle it like this. 1) run shell (not local) curl the metadata service and save it to a file, say /tmp/ipaddress 2) use file provisioner download to fet it to your machine. 3) in a shell-local script read the IP into a variable. On Mon, Jul 27, 2020, 15:05 Renato Marcandier wrote: >

Run with headless false, add flag --on-error=ask when this fails use the console and debug the winrm setup from the inside or check the status of the installation. On Tue, Aug 13, 2019, 13:11 Automationbuilder360 Builder < automationbuilder...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Am new to Packer, am

Could you provide some more details. I guess this is because the disk is connected in a different way making it appear as a different device. Some things to check: Where is this error comming from, VirtualBox or the Linux kernel trying to mount the boot dev? Can you show grub.conf, etc Kernel

You can use -machine-readable 1), but maybe that is not what you need. More likely you want information about the AMI that was built. For that look into the manifest post-processor 2) and parse this manifest file with jq etc. 1)

Re: [packer] Issues installing vmware tools - using packer and vsphere-iso builder

iso_paths is for specifying multiple alternative urls for the same iso. Instead put the tools iso in the http_directory or somewhere else where you can reach it and download it to the VM. Then use the procedure used here *) to install it. *)
