Re: [packer] Chef-solo provisioner very slow to upload cookbooks

2016-09-20 Thread James Bannan 
Just a quick update on this one - I ended up writing a short PowerShell 
script to download the cookbooks directly from the Chef Marketplace and 
extract them on the target VM.  This is working OK and I can bypass the 
cookbook upload, but it's not ideal as it precludes using Berkshelf to 
determine cookbook dependencies.

Re: [packer] Chef-solo provisioner very slow to upload cookbooks

Hi Sean,

Sure, the template is this one, authored by Matt Wrock:

https://github.com/mwrock/packer-templates/blob/master/vbox-2016.json

Based on some additional research, it looks like this is a long-standing 
issue with the performance of the WinRM transport in Packer.  However, I'm 
only trying to upload about 500KB to the VM.  30 minutes to upload seems 
excessive...

Thanks,
James

What template are you using, is it possible to provide a link?
Cheers

Subject: [packer] Chef-solo provisioner very slow to upload cookbooks

Hi all,

I'm using Packer 0.10.1 on Windows 10 to build a Windows 10 image on VirtualBox.

The template uses the chef-solo provisioner, and i'm seeing that the upload of 
the cookbooks is extremely slow. Slow, as in, about 30 minutes to upload 4 
cookbooks.

It always works and never errors, but the process is extremely slow and 
painful. Any way of troubleshooting what's happening and hopefully fixing it?
