Hello,
There's obviously something I'm missing in my understanding of the workflow
from packer to vagrant.
Let's say I'm having to do multiple packer runs for some reason, say,
having to debug or fine tune the ks.cfg for centos7.2 installs. If it
matters I'm using virtualbox-iso.
My understanding of the workflow is:
packer validate
packer build
vagrant init
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
examine results
vagrant destroy
correct/modify/enhance ks.cfg
repeat
BUT:
I'm finding that I have to do:
vagrant box delete <boxpath/boxname>
before the packer build. Is this correct? If so, isn't there an overwrite
option?
And then, the packer init won't build unless I delete Vagrantfile. Then it
generates a bare-bones vagrantfile, not the one in the .box. I end up
having to copy my vagranfile template to Vagrantfile manually. This can't
be right.So what am I missing here?
The working directory is
~/centos-minimal
I've got a Vagrantfile template ~/Vagrantfile-centos-7.2-minimal
$ cat Vagrantfile-centos-7.2-minimal
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "builds/centos-7.2.virtualbox.box"
config.ssh.insert_key = false
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/pub", :mount_options => ["dmode=777",
"fmode=666"]
end
Here's the post-processor "vagrant" section of the .json
"post-processors": [
{
"type": "vagrant",
"output": "builds/{{user `box_basename`}}.{{.Provider}}.box",
"vagrantfile_template":"Vagrantfile-centos-7.2-minimal",
"keep_input_artifact": true
}
the packer build seems to run to completion just fine. And it does create
a builds/centos-7.2.virtualbox.box
So, packer build finishes. My understanding is I then have to:
vagrant init builds/centos-7.2.virtualbox.box
vagrant up
If I tar xvzf centos-7.2.virtualbox.box, the expected Vagrantfile is shown
to be part of the .box
$ tar xvzf centos-7.2.virtualbox.box
Vagrantfile
box.ovf
centos-7.2-x86_64-disk1.vmdk
metadata.json
[builds]$ cat Vagrantfile
# The contents below were provided by the Packer Vagrant post-processor
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.base_mac = "0800270B9CB5"
end
# The contents below (if any) are custom contents provided by the
# Packer template during image build.
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "builds/centos-7.2.virtualbox.box"
config.ssh.insert_key = false
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/pub", :mount_options => ["dmode=777",
"fmode=666"]
end
Side question: are there really supposed to be two
Vagrant.Configure("2") do |config|
Sections? Is that legal?
I hope this is clear...if not, just ask. Thanks!
