- Packer
- At least one virtualization provider: Virtualbox, VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, etc
- A license for VMware Fusion Pro for the VMWare Fusion provider.
Templates can still be built directly by packer
To build a template for all providers (VirtualBox, Fusion, Parallels):
$ packer build debian-8.6-amd64.json
To build a template only for a list of specific providers:
$ packer build -only=virtualbox-iso debian-8.6-amd64.json
To build a template for all providers except a list of specific providers:
$ packer build -except=parallels-iso,vmware-iso debian-8.6-amd64.json
If you want to use a another mirror site, use the mirror user variable.
$ packer build -var 'mirror=http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/debian-cdimage/release' debian-8.6-amd64.json
Congratulations! You now have box(es) in the ../builds directory that you can then add to Vagrant and start testing cookbooks.
Notes:
- The box_basename can be overridden like other Packer vars with
-var 'box_basename=debian-8.6'
Please use GitHub issues to report bugs, features, or other problems.
All of the hard work was done by the bento authors.
Any changes by Loadsys are currently in the cakephp branch.
